something to stop gun violence from ripping apart our communities’ 

President Biden on Tuesday called on lawmakers to take steps to address gun violence in the wake of a deadly mass shooting at Michigan State University, pledging federal support to assist in the ongoing investigation.“I want to take a moment to say our hearts are with the students and the family of Michigan State University,” Biden said at a National Association of Counties gathering in Washington Tuesday afternoon.

“Last night, I spoke with Gov. (Gretchen) Whitmer, and the FBI and additional federal law enforcement are on the ground assisting the state and local folks, and three lives have been lost, five seriously injured. And it’s a family’s worst nightmare, and it’s happening far too often in this country, far too often.

While we gather more information, there’s one thing we do know to be true, we have to do something to stop gun violence from ripping apart our communities –

”Following the shooting, Whitmer, a Democrat, said in a statement that “Michiganders across the state are devastated.”
