Stephen Willeford shouldn’t have had the gun he used to shoot the mass murderer at the Sutherland Springs, Texas church shooting Former Vice President Joe Biden said Monday.

"Well, first of all, the kind of gun being carried he shouldn’t be carrying," Biden said, appearing on the “Today” show. Biden then launched into a pitch for more severe gun control laws:

“I wrote the last serious gun control law that was written and was law for 10 years, and it outlawed assault weapons and it outlawed weapons with magazines that had a whole lot of bullets and so you can kill a whole lot of people a lot more quickly."
