President Biden on Thursday called on Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, among other gun control measures,<\/a> following the “senseless and tragic” mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, where authorities say a lone gunman killed at least 18 people at two different locations.<\/p>\n

In a written statement released by the White House, Biden urged Republican lawmakers<\/a> to “fulfill their duty protect the American people” from gun violence.<\/p>\n

“Work with us to pass a bill banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, to enact universal background checks, to require safe storage of guns, and end immunity from liability for gun manufacturers,” Biden said.<\/p>\n

“This is the very least we owe every American who will now bear the scars \u2014 physical and mental \u2014 of this latest attack,” the statement continued.<\/p>\n

LIVE UPDATES: SEVERAL DEAD IN LEWISTON, MAIN MASS SHOOTING<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

At least 18 people were killed, and 13 more were wounded\u00a0in shootings\u00a0<\/a>at Schemengees Bar and Grille and Just in Time Bowling on Wednesday night, Maine Gov. Janet Mills said at a Thursday morning press conference.<\/p>\n

“Once again, our nation is in mourning after yet another senseless and tragic mass shooting,”<\/a> Biden said in the statement. “Today, Jill and I are praying for the Americans who\u2019ve lost their lives, for those still in critical care, and for the families, survivors, and community members enduring shock and grief.”<\/p>\n

WHO IS ROBERT CARD: MAINE AUTHORITIES IDENTIFY SUSPECT IN DEADLY SHOOTING RAMPAGE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Robert Card, 40, was named as the suspect and is being sought in a massive manhunt across the state. Card is a “trained firearms instructor” and recently reported mental health issues, including “hearing voices and threats to shoot up the National Guard Base in Saco, ME,” according to a Maine law enforcement bulletin shared with Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Card is also a Petroleum Supply Specialist in the Army Reserve,<\/a> having enlisted in December 2002, an Army spokesperson told Fox News, adding that Card has had no combat deployments.<\/p>\n

Maine has a longstanding culture of gun ownership tied to its traditions of hunting and sport shooting. The state does not require a permit to carry guns.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some recent attempts by gun control advocates to tighten the state\u2019s gun laws have failed, including a proposal for background checks for gun sales and a ban on bump stocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
