Biden on Tuesday offered condolence and urged lawmakers resist gun industry lobbyists to pass firearm legislation hours after a gunman killed 18 children in Texas.
"We as a nation have to ask when in God's name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby. When in God's name do we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?" Biden asked in a somber address following the another school massacre that evoked the pain of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting of 2012.by police who responded to the attack at Robb Elementary School, located about 83 miles west of San Antonio, according to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
The president, who lost a young daughter in a car accident, told parents of the victims that losing a child is "like having a piece of your soul ripped away."Biden focused most his emotion on the U.S. gun industry, which he blamed for years of stalled progress on gun control measures on the floor on the U.S. Congress. Earlier, he ordered that the U.S. flag be flown at half staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds.
