The President addressed the tragedy in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/05\/24\/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-school-shooting-in-uvalde-texas\/\">remarks<\/a> from the White House on Tuesday night, hours after the shooting took place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had hoped, when I became President, I would not have to do this again,\u201d Biden said. \u201cAnother massacre. Uvalde, Texas. An elementary school. Beautiful, innocent second, third, fourth graders. And how many scores of little children who witnessed what happened see their friends die as if they\u2019re on a battlefield, for God\u2019s sake. They\u2019ll live with it the rest of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden traveled to Buffalo, New York, the site of another mass shooting, last week. The President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/05\/17\/biden-travels-to-buffalo-to-grieve-shooting-victims-condemn-racial-violence.html\">condemned<\/a> white supremacy and replacement theory.<\/p>\n<p>Biden used the occasion to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/its-just-sick-biden-uses-school-shooting-address-to-slam-gun-lobby\">call<\/a> for stricter measures on guns. He suggested renewing the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act that timed out in 2004. He claimed that the legislation led to a drop in mass shootings, and that after the ban expired, mass shootings \u201ctripled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am sick and tired of it. We have to act. And don\u2019t tell me we can\u2019t have an impact on this carnage,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/05\/24\/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-school-shooting-in-uvalde-texas\/\">said<\/a>. \u201cI spent my career as a senator and as Vice President working to pass commonsense gun laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat in God\u2019s name do you need an 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 he said. \u201cAnd the gun manufacturers have spent two decades aggressively marketing assault weapons, which make them the most and largest profit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many Democrats have joined in Biden\u2019s call for additional gun control measures in the wake of the Texas shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) on Wednesday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/youre-a-sick-son-of-a-b-beto-orourke-crashes-greg-abbott-press-conference-on-uvalde-shooting\">emphasized<\/a> the need for additional mental health resources in the wake of the shooting, and said that the state and its partners would ensure access to such resources for the Uvalde community in the aftermath of the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome physical wounds that were sustained by the officers, they\u2019re going to heal in the coming days. The mental and emotional wounds are far harder to see, and last far longer. The state of Texas working with federal and local officials in agencies, we\u2019re going to be here for a long, long time,\u201d Abbott said. \u201cAnd one key point that we will focus on is making sure that everybody in this community has the access they need \u2013 for as long as they need it \u2013 to address the mental and emotional healthcare needs that they have.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden will travel to Uvalde, Texas, on Sunday, less than a week after a gunman killed 19 children and two adults at a local elementary school in the second deadliest school shooting in the U.S. The White House released a brief statement on Thursday announcing the President\u2019s plans to \u201ctravel to Uvalde, Texas &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":1493747,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1493718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1493718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/70"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1493718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1493718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1493747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1493718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1493718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1493718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
