Fox News
The White House called for an assault weapons ban in reaction to the arrest of a suspect using a handgun to kill three University of Virginia students.
"Too many families across America are bearing the awful burden of gun violence," the White House said, before invoking President Biden’s signing of the "most significant gun safety law in nearly three decades" earlier this year.

"But we must do more. We need to enact an assault weapons ban to get weapons of war off America’s streets," the White House said before taking a subtle jab at Republicans: "House Democrats acted, and the Senate should follow."
