Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) vowed to take on the National Rifle Association (NRA) following the deadly shooting in El Paso Saturday, telling a crowd of supporters that he has beaten it before and intends to do so again.
Police responded to reports of a gunman opening fire at an El Paso Walmart Saturday morning. While numbers have been fluctuating, El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen told reporters that there are at least 20 casualties and 26 injuries.
“I can say without fear of contradiction: enough is enough is enough,” Biden says of the mass shooting in El Paso.

“This is a sickness, this is well beyond anything that we should be tolerating,” Biden says. “The fact is we can beat the NRA, we can beat the gun manufacturers. I did it” with the assault weapons ban that has since expired.

“I can say without fear of contradiction: Enough is enough is enough,” Biden said, according to Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Epstein. – READ MORE
