US President Biden appeals Congress to act on gun control after mass shootings, asking lawmakers, 'how much more carnage are we willing to accept?'
Biden condemns as"unconscionable" the refusal of a majority of Republican senators to enact tougher firearms regulations.
Speaking from the White House on Thursday, the president said that nothing has been done after many mass shootings, "but this time we must actually do something." Biden's address came after last week's shootings by an 18-year-old gunman, who killed 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and another attack on Wednesday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where a gunman shot and killed four people and himself at a medical office.
Biden said he found it "unconscionable" that a majority of the Senate Republicans did not want to take any action on legislation related to gun violence.
