The incident unfolded on Wednesday when the assailant opened fire on the fourth floor of the Lee Business School building at UNLV. Following established protocols, students and faculty quickly implemented the “Run-Hide-Fight” strategy to protect themselves until law enforcement authorities arrived on the scene. Tragically, three individuals lost their lives, and another was critically injured before the shooter engaged in a shootout with university police (good guys with guns) outside the building, resulting in the suspect’s demise.

This horrific incident serves as a stark reminder of the continued threats faced by educational institutions (Gun-Free Zones) across the country. It is a somber moment as the UNLV community grapples with the devastating loss and the injuries suffered by innocent victims. From Nevada Legislature NRS 202.265 as reported by Nevada Carry:

Now lets get into how Joe Biden and Lebron James responded to this latest tragedy:

Joe Biden seized the opportunity to push for an assault weapons ban following the handgun attack at UNLV. Breitbart reported that he highlighted the need to take action against firearms that are commonly associated with mass shootings.

“For all the action we have taken since I’ve been President, the epidemic of gun violence we face demands that we do even more. But we cannot do more without Congress. Republican lawmakers must join with Democrats in Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, pass a national red flag law, enact universal background checks, require the safe storage of guns, and advance other commonsense measures that will help stem the tide of gun violence.” – Joe Biden

LeBron James also called for stricter gun control measures in the wake of the UNLV shooting. From Breitbart’s AWR Hawkins:
