President Joe Biden says that he’s confident the Senate can approve gun control legislation, in the wake of two mass shootings in March.

“I’m the only one who has ever got them passed, man,” Biden told reporters on March 28, referring to the 1994 “assault weapons” ban that he helped steer to Senate approval; that measure expired in 2005. “The only gun control legislation that’s ever passed is mine. It’s going to happen again.”
