WILMINGTON, Del. — Former Vice President Joe Biden said he skipped the March for Our Lives rally in Washington, D.C., to share his thoughts in his home state of Delaware.
"Folks, too many people are dying," Biden said Saturday in Wilmington at a local rally. "Too many children are being hurt.
In a city where more kids are shot than anywhere else in the nation, people of all generations gathered to say they have had enough.
You're forcing people to look squarely in the eye what they don't want to face," he said. Biden's sentiments underscored the action of today's rallies across the USA.
Police cars blocked off the streets here on Saturday morning as hundreds joined the local March for Our Lives protest, shouting “Balance, not bullets!” and “No more silence! End gun violence!”
