He mourned the loss of the school children and their suffering parents, who would “never see their child again, never have them jump into bed and cuddle with them.” He asked the country to pray for the victims and their families before pivoting to an angry rant demanding more gun control. Biden demanded that the Assault Weapons Ban be reinstated, pointing out that mass shootings “rarely” happened in other parts of the world.
