President Biden marked the second anniversary of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas with a letter to the community, saying more must be done to prevent gun violence and mass shootings.

The big picture: Nineteen children and two teachers were killed at Robb Elementary School on May 24, 2022, in one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.

Driving the news: Biden wrote in the letter thaPresident Biden marked the second anniversary of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas with a letter to the community, saying more must be done to prevent gun violence and mass shootings.

"In the 2 years since, they have made their voices heard — and our country has listened," he wrote.

"To the families of the victims: know that, even after years have passed, there are days it feels like you just got the news yesterday. While there are no words that will ease the pain you continue to feel, I pray you find comfort in reflecting on their memories and all that they meant."

Zoom in: In the letter, Biden reaffirmed his commitment to gun reform, again calling on Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

He noted that Congress passed, and he signed, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act about two months after the Uvalde shooting and a racially motivated mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, that killed 10 people.

The law, the most significant federal gun legislation in nearly three decades, in part enhanced background checks for those under 21 and gave incentives for states to implement "red flag" laws and limits on the "boyfriend loophole."
