President Joe Biden said Wednesday that America should feel collective "guilt" for its failure to tackle gun violence, as the country marks 10 years since its worst-ever school shooting, at Sandy Hook Elementary.
"We have a moral obligation to pass and enforce laws that can prevent these things from happening again," Biden said in a statement.
"I am determined to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines like those used at Sandy Hook," he said.
