And just this past week, three 9-year-olds and three adults were shot and killed at an elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee.A day after that school shooting, Biden’s tone was markedly less optimistic than it was the signing ceremony.“What in God’s name are we doing?” he asked in a speech Tuesday, calling for a ban on so-called assault weapons like those that were used to kill at The Covenant School in Nashville. “There’s a moral price to pay for inaction.”Biden and others had hailed last year’s bipartis...
