Biden to visit Nashville after shooting

Budrigannews.com – One day after a school shooting in Nashville that killed three students and three adult staff members, President Joe Biden condemned a “sick” epidemic of gun violence against children.
Biden stated to an audience in North Carolina, “I never thought when I started my public life that guns would be the number one killer of children in America.” It is ill.”
Later, the president of the United States told reporters that plans are “under way” for him to meet with the victims’ families in Tennessee.
According to data from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through 2021, the most recent available data, firearms have surpassed automobile accidents as the leading cause of death for Americans aged 1 to 19.
Biden has urged Congress to reinstate a ban on “assault” weapons since the shooting.
He stated on Tuesday that high-powered semi-automatic weapons are problematic not only for their capacity to fire multiple rounds rapidly but also for the bodily harm they cause.
“What in the name of God does anyone in America require that for?” Biden stated
According to police, the 28-year-old Nashville shooter used two assault weapons and a handgun. He was shot and killed by officers on the spot.
