Biden calls on Congress to enact gun reform
President Joe Biden released a statement Sunday calling on Congress to enact "common sense" gun control legislation in response to shootings over the weekend in Alabama and Kentucky that left a total of six people dead.
"This morning, our nation is once again grieving for at least four Americans tragically killed at a teen’s birthday party in Dadeville, Alabama as well as two others killed last night in a crowded public park in Louisville," Biden said. "Jill and I are praying for their families, and for the many others injured and fighting for their lives in the wake of this weekend’s gun violence."

As he has done in previous mass shootings, Biden urged Congress to enact gun reform legislation.
"What has our nation come to when children cannot attend a birthday party without fear? When parents have to worry every time their kids walk out the door to school, to the movie theater, or to the park?" Biden said. "Guns are the leading killer of children in America, and the numbers are rising -- not declining."
Biden said the level of gun violence in America is "outrageous and unacceptable," and noted that Americans "agree and want lawmakers to act on common sense gun safety reforms."
"Instead, this past week Americans saw national Republican elected leaders stand alongside the NRA in a race to the bottom on dangerous laws that further erode gun safety. Our communities need and deserve better," said Biden.
