On Parkland Commemoration, Biden Urges Congress On Gun Control
Newsy
Four years after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, President Joe Biden speaks on the importance of ending gun violence.
Four years after 17 people were gunned down at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, President Joe Biden says his administration stands with the advocates working to end gun violence and is urging the nation to uphold the "solemn obligation" to "keep each other safe."
"Out of the heartbreak of Parkland a new generation of Americans all across the country marched for our lives and towards a better, safer America for us all," President Biden said in a statement obtained by The Associated Press ahead of Monday's commemoration of the deadly shooting of 14 students and three staff members.
"Together, this extraordinary movement is making sure that the voices of victims and survivors and responsible gun owners are louder than the voices of gun manufacturers and the National Rifle Association," the president said.
