Hours after the shooting deaths of two television journalists in Virginia, the White House called on Congress Wednesday to approve gun-control legislation.
“This is another example of gun violence that is becoming all too common in communities large and small across the United States,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest.
He said there are “some common-sense things that only Congress can do… that would have a tangible impact” in reducing gun violence without infringing on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. Mr. Earnest didn’t specify particular legislation.
