“I am sick and tired of it. We have to act. And don’t tell me we can’t have an impact on this carnage,” an emotional President Biden said Tuesday night, following a horrific shooting at the elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

An 18-year-old high school student armed with a semi-automatic weapon shot and killed at least 19 children and two teachers.

The president blamed the “gun lobby,” the reflexive response of people who believe gun bans are the solution. There was no mention of hardening schools with metal detectors or other serious security measures used to prevent mass shootings at airports, government buildings, even museums.
