The next day, he signed an executive order on policing and public safety andpushed for “commonsense gun reforms.”

“As a nation, I think we all must be there for them,” Biden, 79, said.“And we must ask: When in God’s name will we do what needs to be done to, if not completely stop, fundamentally change the amount of the carnage that goes on in this country?”
