President Barack Obama, who largely failed to get increased gun control measures passed through Congress during his term in the White House, is demanding the Biden administration pursue stricter gun control measures — but also measures to reduce the “disaffection, racism, and misogyny,” which Obama claims motivate mass shooters.

Obama made the statements on social media Tuesday, following a Monday mass shooting at a Boulder, Colorado, supermarket that left 10 people dead. Authorities have yet to establish a motive for the massacre, but the alleged gunman, whose name is being withheld per Daily Wire policy, was a Syrian-born man, known to the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, who his family says suffers from mental health issues including paranoia, and who has a history of assault.
