President Joe Biden on Thursday urged Congress to "finally do something" on gun control as he called on lawmakers to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines as the nation reels from three mass shootings in the last three weeks.
Biden said that if Congress could not ban assault weapons, then they should raise the age to purchase those type of guns from 18 to 21.
