Biden on Tuesday offered condolence and urged lawmakers resist gun industry lobbyists to pass firearm legislation hours after a gunman killed 18 children in Texas.

"We as a nation have to ask when in God's name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby. When in God's name do we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?" Biden asked in a somber address following the another school massacre that evoked the pain of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting of 2012.by police who responded to the attack at Robb Elementary School, located about 83 miles west of San Antonio, according to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

The president, who lost a young daughter in a car accident, told parents of the victims that losing a child is "like having a piece of your soul ripped away."Biden focused most his emotion on the U.S. gun industry, which he blamed for years of stalled progress on gun control measures on the floor on the U.S. Congress. Earlier, he ordered that the U.S. flag be flown at half staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds.

Removing arms is NEEDED NOW! We don't arm ourselves here in the UK with guns so it's not needed in the US or anywhere! We need to rebalance this planet, before more actions are taken. GunControl GunControlNow BanAssaultWeaponsNow 2ndAmendment YourGod GunLobby Assault

Let's talk about the shooter, not the gun. Liberal Mexican, Transgender. Not a NRA member. Not a Trump supporter. Not a Republican. Not a white male. Hmmmmmmm so many NOTS... must suck for the left.

Guns don’t kill people, bad people with guns do. Strict gun laws for those that should not be allowed to purchase one. Make them take exams, police interviews, long waiting periods, ban assault weapons.

Texas government is in sane. Can't they handle this mess with the weapons law and regulation?

So sad 🥲

I’m getting really tired of watching the gun lobby own parts of Congress

The horse is out of the barn and Joe closes the gate.

CNBC is disgusting. Plain and simple. People are grieving and still do not know where their children are. Shame on you. Never watch this network again.

YOU are the President! Stop asking what other people are going to do to fix problems. You’re supposed to be a leader. I know you have zero experience as a leader, but please try to act like one.

It is the republicans who are opposing gun laws

We aren't willing to live with this carnage, but 50 Senators are keeping us in this nightmare.

Money talks and shooters walk freely here !

No Latino can vote for Republicans !!

More black children get shot by other blacks daily, but nobody cares.

My heart is crying as well, when I have a glance at those snaps. POTUS

Beside just talking, what Biden actual action to resolve all this shit? Enough is enough

Because the FBI and other authorities who knew about him refuse to do their job. Its govt that needs reform, not the 2nd amendment.

Because FoxNews TuckerCarlson JudgeJeanine IngrahamAngle seanhannity FoxFriendsFirst GovAbbott RepMTG DrPaulGosar RandPaul JohnCornyn and every loathsome, bloodthirsty, evil member of the GOP says it's 'patriotic' to make it easy to kill kids with assault rifles.

Yes lock up any enabling guardian that lived in denial for over a decade that this POS wasn’t going to be a problem one day. This doesn’t just happen and he was certainly on the community’s radar all along but instead had a team of enablers making excuses instead of consequences

Sleepy Joe only wants gun control because he wants to take away our freedom.

Seeing this young girl's face, who probably will be traumatised her whole life, should be enough for change 🙏

America is a giant cult and the rest of the world agrees.
