While Biden did not give public remarks during his stop, he previously said he would look at new gun laws in the wake of the shooting. "We just, it was really just all about my daughter. You know what I mean?” Vincent Salazar, father of student Layla Salazar, who was among the victims, told CNN. “That's all we talked about and he, you know, he, like I said, they were very gracious, they showed compassion. Yeah. And that's, that's all we were here for, you know what I'm saying? He listened to everything, and we listened to him. He shed some tears; we shed some tears.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who is not running for reelection this fall, told CNN he is open to a federal ban on AR-15 rifles on Sunday. "Look, I have opposed a ban, you know, fairly recently. I think I'm open to a ban now. It's going to depend on what it looks like because there's a lot of nuances on what constitutes, you know, certain things," Kinzinger said."We have to be coming to the table with ways to mitigate 18-year-olds buying these guns and walking into schools -- my side's not doing that.
