Biden: ‘I’m a Gun Owner, I Believe Strongly in the Amendment, but We Need More than Thoughts and Prayers’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “But as a nation, we cannot continue to accept the carnage of gun violence. I’m a gun owner. (applause) I believe strongly in the amendment, but we need more thought — more than thoughts and prayers. Some of my Republican friends in Congress just finally have to say enough is enough. We have to do something. Together, let’s ban assault weapons. My dad is a hunter. I don’t know a whole hell of a lot of deer wearing Kevlar vests. I’m serious about this. High-capacity magazines, once again, what do we need them for in terms of domestic use? There are too many people who are able to access guns that shouldn’t be able to, so let’s require safe storage of firearms.”
