The White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, addressed the press on Wednesday following a school shooting in Winder, Georgia, calling for urgent action on gun control.

She noted that students across the country are returning to school.

“As a parent myself, I know the anxiety that comes with sending your kid out into the world every day, living with the real fear of the worst that can happen,” Jean-Pierre said. “Please know that our hearts are with those families in Winder, Georgia, who are forced to face this act of senseless violence.”

Jean-Pierre confirmed that both President Biden and Vice President Harris have been briefed on the situation. She emphasized that the administration is coordinating with federal, state, and local officials as they receive more information.

“We’re grateful for the brave first responders who are on the scene, and we stand ready to provide support as needed,” she added.

Reiterating the administration’s anti-2A stance, Jean-Pierre stated, “This is not normal. Students and teachers deserve to know that their schools are safe. They should focus on learning, not lockdowns.”

While acknowledging steps the administration has already taken to chip away at firearm ownership, Jean-Pierre stressed that more needs to be done and urged Congress to take action.

Specifically, she called for several measures, including universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and a national red flag law.

“We need universal background checks. We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require safe storage of firearms, invest in violence prevention programs, and pass a national red flag law,” she said. “Enough is enough.”

Jean-Pierre concluded with a plea for Congress to act: “We cannot allow this to happen in our communities. We cannot allow this to happen in our schools. Enough is enough. Congress needs to act.”

Stay tuned, this story is developing.
