'TOO MUCH FEAR. TOO MUCH GRIEF' President Joe Biden will visit Uvalde on Sunday to again make the case for gun control, as activists set about galvanizing voters on the issue in the run-up to November's midterm election. Despite the scourge of mass shootings, efforts at nationwide gun control have repeatedly failed, though polls show broad support from Americans. Speaking at a University of Delaware commencement on Saturday, Biden -- himself a grieving father twice over -- evoked the image of parents preparing to bury their children in Texas, and lamented "too much violence. Too much fear. Too much grief."
