President Biden on Monday decried gun violence in America just hours after a shooter killed three children and three staff members at a private school in Nashville, calling it “sick” and a “family’s worst nightmare.”
Assault weapons are a vague term to describe military-style semiautomatic rifles such as AR-15s, which are one of the most popular rifles sold in the U.S. A ban remains a controversial ideal that likely won’t gain support in the Republican-run House.
A study by the National Institute of Justice, which is a division inside the Department of Justice, reported that most mass shootings do not involve rifles. The study, released in February 2022, found that handguns were used in 77% of mass shootings.shooter, a 28-year-old woman, was wielding two “assault-style” rifles and a pistol during the rampage, according to police. A motive is not known.
The suspect, who has yet to be identified, was shot by police during the rampage at the Covenant School, a Presbyterian school for about 200 students from preschool to sixth grade.
