“How Much Massacre…”: Biden Urges Ban on Assault Weapons After Mass Shooting

Joe Biden calls Republican senators’ refusal to enforce gun laws ‘irresponsible’.

Washington:

US President Joe Biden on Thursday urged lawmakers to ban privately owned assault weapons and high-capacity magazines to prevent mass shootings in the country.

“How much more genocide are we willing to accept?” Biden asked the White House in a prime-time television broadcast that the age to buy such weapons should be raised from 18 to 21, less than the ban.
