The White House responded to the deadly mass shooting at a Nashville Christian school on Monday by saying that House lawmakers need to pass a ban on certain types of semiautomatic weapons.

President Joe Biden “wants Congress to act because enough is enough,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Monday. “How many more children have to be murdered before Republicans in Congress will step up and act to pass the assault weapons ban?”
