President Joe Biden made a fresh call for stricter gun laws as families and loved ones rememberthe loss of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, exactly one year ago today.

For God’s sake, just do something," President Biden said."We did something afterwards, but not nearly enough." "We know one year later, this is still so raw for you," said President Biden in a poignant setting adorned with 21 candles, symbolizing each victim, alongside white roses and satin ribbons in the respective school colors bearing the names and ages of the victims."You'll miss birthdays and holidays, school plays, soccer games. Just that smile. A year of everyday joy, just gone forever.
