US President Joe Biden called on Americans Wednesday to back his call for Congress to ban assault weapons, saying that a deadly shooting at a Super Bowl victory parade in Kansas City “cuts deep.”
“Today’s events should move us, shock us, shame us into acting,” Biden said in a White House statement.
He called on Americans to “make your voice heard in Congress so we finally act to ban assault weapons, to limit high-capacity magazines, strengthen background checks, keep guns out of the hands of those who have no business owning them or handling them.”
