President Joe Biden made a brief statement, Tuesday morning, addressing the mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado, and pledging to press forward with gun “reform” measures, including a ban on so-called “assault weapons” and a ban on “high capacity magazines.”

Speaking in the White House State Dining Room, Biden pledged to honor the ten people who died when a shooter opened fire at a King Soopers grocery store late Monday. Authorities released information on the shooter’s identity Tuesday morning but have yet to release information about a possible motive. Members of the shooter’s family told the media that the shooter suffered from a range of serious mental illnesses.
