US President Joe Biden has called on lawmakers to pass tougher gun control laws to curb shootings.
According to US media, President Joe Biden in his appeal has also demanded a ban on the weapons used in the attack.
President Joe Biden said in his 17-minute speech: “How many more massacres can we face? We cannot fail the American people again. “
He condemned the refusal of the majority of Republican senators to support strict legislation, calling it “irresponsible.”
The president said lawmakers should raise the age limit for purchasing weapons from 18 to 21.
He urged lawmakers to take steps to make safe stockpiling of firearms mandatory and to hold arms manufacturers responsible for crimes committed with their products.
“Over the past two decades, more school-age children than police officers on duty have been shot dead,” Biden said. Think about it. “
He referred to a young student who had poured blood on a classmate who had been found dead to hide from a gunman at an elementary school in Texas.
“There are a lot of other schools here in the United States, a lot of places that have become killing fields,” Biden said.
Republican lawmakers have opposed tougher gun control laws.
Nine senators are meeting this week to discuss large-scale shootings.
As lawmakers consider a “racist” attack on a Buffalo supermarket and a school shooting in Texas, another attack occurred in Oklahoma on Wednesday.
Ten black people were shot dead in a Buffalo supermarket, while a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at a Texas school.
Four people were killed Wednesday in a shooting at a medical center in Tulsa, about 160 kilometers northeast of Oklahoma City.
