(Washington, DC) -- President Biden is asking how much more carnage will the nation accept.

He wants to stop mass shootings with stricter gun laws, criticizing most Senate Republicans for not taking action or even starting debate. The President pleaded with Congress Thursday night to ban the types of assault-style weapons used in three recent tragedies, including at a Texas school.

Biden is also calling for a limit on high-capacity magazines.
