President Joe Biden will deliver an address to the nation Thursday night about the latest round of mass shootings
with a rifle at a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood, killing 10 people and wounding three others in what authorities described as"racially motivated violent extremism."
Earlier Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke about the Oklahoma shooting, saying, “All of us hold the people of Tulsa in our hearts, but we also reaffirm our commitment to passing commonsense gun safety laws.” He also said that “things have gotten so bad that everybody’s getting more rational, at least that’s my hope," adding, “There’s realization on the part of rational Republicans” who realize ”we can’t keep repeating ourselves."
Even a House package debated Thursday that is less sweeping, including a provision raising the required age for buying semi-automatic firearms to 21, faces slim chances in the Senate.
