At least 18 children and three adults are dead, including the 18-year-old gunman. The death toll is reportedly expected to continue to rise, <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/wireStory\/texas-school-district-locked-reports-shooter-84940954\">according<\/a> to ABC News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother massacre,\u201d Biden said to start his brief remarks. \u201cUvalde, Texas. An elementary school. Beautiful, innocent, second, third, fourth graders. And how many scores of little children who witness what happened, see their friends die, as if they\u2019re in a battlefield, for God\u2019s sake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ll live with it the rest of their lives. There\u2019s a lot we don\u2019t know yet. There\u2019s a lot we do know. The parents who will never see their child again. Never have them jump in bed and cuddle with them. Parents who will never be the same,\u201d Biden said, continuing on to describe the loss of a child as \u201chaving a piece of your soul ripped away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After asking the nation to pray for the families of the victims, the president quickly pivoted to a new message for the country \u2013 one <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/24\/democrats-robb-elementary-school-shooting\/\">aimed<\/a> at taking down the \u201cgun lobby.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a nation, we have to ask: When in God\u2019s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?\u201d Biden asked. \u201cWhen in God\u2019s name will we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biden named other mass shooting events in recent U.S. history and declared that he is \u201csick and tired of it.\u201d The president admitted that every tragedy can\u2019t be prevented, but argued that passing \u201ccommon sense gun laws\u201d has been proven to \u201chave positive impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd don\u2019t tell me we can\u2019t have an impact on this carnage,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea that an 18-year-old kid can walk into a gun store and buy two assault weapons is just wrong,\u201d he continued. \u201cWhat in God\u2019s name do you need assault weapon for except to kill someone? Deer aren\u2019t running through the forest with Kevlar vests on for God\u2019s sake. It\u2019s just sick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden has been a big proponent of <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/03\/joe-biden-new-york-plan-combat-gun-crime\/\">gun control<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/10\/biden-ghost-gun-rules\/\">honing<\/a> in on \u201cghost guns\u201d and calling for a ban on so-called \u201cassault style\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/04\/10\/985514254\/biden-wants-new-ban-on-assault-style-weapons-what-lessons-were-learned-from-the-\">weapons<\/a>, a catch all term gun control advocates use to refer to certain kinds of semi-automatic rifles. It remains unclear what kind of weapon the shooter, identified as Salvador Ramos, used in the attack \u2013 though Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott noted Ramos entered the school with a handgun and potentially a rifle, according to ABC News. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/05\/03\/biden-goes-all-in-on-calls-for-extreme-gun-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED:\u00a0Biden Goes All In On Calls For Extreme Gun Control)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biden also wondered aloud why \u201cthese kinds of mass shootings rarely happen anywhere else in the world.\u201d He noted that other countries have \u201cmental health problems\u201d and \u201cdomestic disputes\u201d and reiterated his call for America \u201cto stand up to the lobbyists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are we willing to live with this carnage?\u201d Biden asked. \u201cWhy do we keep letting this happen? Where in God\u2019s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with, to stand up to the lobbyists? It\u2019s time to turn this pain into action.
