President Biden is marking the one-year anniversary of the Uvalde school shooting. In remarks from the White House Wednesday, Biden said too many schools have become "killing fields" across America, and reiterated his call for Congress to pass an assault weapons ban and universal background checks. Biden claimed there's been 650 mass shootings in the U.S. since last year's shooting that killed 21 people at a Texas elementary school.
