Biden calls for stricter gun restrictions in wake of Texas school shooting

President Joe Biden on Tuesday called for legislation to restrict access to firearms in the wake of the school shooting in Texas that left at least 20 dead.

An 18-year-old gunman, Salvador Rolando Ramos, went into Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on Tuesday and killed at least 18 students and a teacher before he was killed by law enforcement. Authorities said he used a handgun and may have used a rifle, as well.

Biden said he’d hoped when he was elected president he would never have to speak about a school shooting again.
