President Biden delivers remarks on the recent tragic mass shootings, and the need for Congress to act to pass common sense laws to combat the epidemic of gun violence that is taking lives. 

Shooter bought rifle right before opening fire in Tulsa

A man who blamed his surgeon for ongoing pain after a recent back surgery bought an AR-style rifle "about an hour" before opening fire at a Tulsa medical office, killing the surgeon and three other people before fatally shooting himself, police said Thursday.

Democratic and Republican US Senators are holding talks this week, mostly virtually, as efforts continue to forge what Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy has called “a significant package” of gun safety measures that will actually pass.

Senators aren’t expected to even broach ideas for an assault weapon ban or other restrictions that could be popular with the public as ways to curb the most lethal mass shootings, the Associated Press noted, adding that the US has not passed a major federal gun control measure since soon after the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting in Connecticut that left 26 dead.
