Ulvade shooting: Kamala Harris calls for assault weapons ban

WASHINGTON, 29 May 2022, (TON): US Vice-President Kamala Harris has made an impassioned plea for a ban on assault weapons in the wake of two deadly mass shootings in the US.

Ms Harris was attending the funeral of Ruth Whitfield, 86, killed in a supermarket in Buffalo on 14 May.

That shooting came just 10 days before an attack on a Texas primary school left 19 children and two teachers dead.

Ms Harris, listing these and other attacks, said it was time to say "enough is enough" to gun violence.

She said "everybody's got to stand up and agree that this should not be happening in our country and that we should have the courage to do something about it.”
