Won’t the good guys have guns?The NRA is banning guns for Trump's appearance at their conference this Friday. If, as they, "guns don't kill people, people kill people," then why ban them at their own event? https://t.co/PKundnWx0R

Biden: "As a nation, we have to ask, when in God's name are we gonna stand up to the gun lobby? ... the idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a gun store and buy two assault weapons -- it's just wrong." pic.twitter.com/DIJWDyeMi0

In our end is our beginning.Biden: "These kinds of mass shooting rarely happen anywhere else in the world. Why? They have mental health problems. They have domestic disputes in other countries ... why are we willing to live with this carnage? ... it's time to turn this pain into action." pic.twitter.com/ccONZgvvM3
