'May the Lord be near the brokenhearted and save those crushed in spirit, because they’re going to need a lot of help.'
at an elementary school in nearly a decade, President Joe Biden gave the speech that he’d prayed he would never have to give.
“It's like having a piece of your soul ripped away,” Biden said, nearly overcome with emotion. “It’s never quite the same. It’s a feeling shared by the siblings and the grandparents and family members and the community that’s left behind.” Biden, who was first briefed on the shooting midair while returning from a trip through East Asia, issued a presidential proclamation calling for the nation’s flags to be flown at half-mast for the next four days “as a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence.”
Perhaps more than any of his predecessors, Biden knows how impossibly narrow the path to meaningful legislative gun-control legislation can be. In 2012, days after the Newtown massacre, he was tasked by President Barack Obama with steering the most ambitious gun-control legislation in decades through the Senate.
