PRESIDENT Joe Biden called for action tonight following Wednesday's tragedy where five people, including the gunman, died in a shooting outside of an Oklahoma hospital.<\/p>\n

In his speech, Biden called for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. <\/p>\n

The president says that background checks and red flag laws need to increase and that the age to purchase guns should be raised to 21 years old.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor God\u2019s sake, how much more carnage are we willing to accept?\u201d Biden asked.<\/p>\n

The speech came hours before it was reported that New York\u00a0lawmakers will raise the legal age to buy semiautomatic rifles from 18 to 21 and will likely pass legislation created to prevent mass shootings,\u00a0according to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

Governor\u00a0Kathy Hochul\u00a0and other lawmakers said the bills are in response to the recent mass shootings across the country.<\/p>\n

Tulsa's massacre occurred just eight days after a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, left 19 pupils and two teachers dead, and 18 days after a shooter killed 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.<\/p>\n

The legislation package will go to Hochul\u2019s desk to be signed into law.\u00a0<\/p>\n
