President Joe Biden pointed to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. John Cornyn as Republicans he believes he can work with on gun control. Biden said there was a chance for compromise on gun control with "rational Republicans" such as McConnell, of Kentucky, and Cornyn, of Texas, during remarks to reporters Monday, though he warned that there is not much he can do on his own through executive action. The violence continued into the holiday weekend when a gunman in Tennessee opened fire in the downtown Chattanooga area, leaving six people injured. Biden called for gun control legislation after the Uvalde shooting, arguing that the government can work to prevent similar acts of violence in the future. The president and first lady visited Uvalde over the weekend and spent several hours mourning and speaking with victims' families.
