In a statement, Biden had said, "Enough. We've grieved and prayed with too many families who have had to bear the terrible burden of these mass shootings." 

Condemning the mass shootings in the United States, President Biden said that there is so much gun violence that many killings do not even make the news anymore.

The US needs to impose severe gun controls and severely restrict who can buy or own a weapon. American laws are too loose and too lenient in this regard.
