Joe Biden has called for new gun laws hours after a shooting outside a Sacramento bar that killed six people, with police still on the hunt for at least two gunmen.
'Ban ghost guns,' the president said Sunday. 'Require background checks for all gun sales. Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Repeal gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability.'
Biden's push for gun reform comes hours after an unidentified gunman let out a barrage of bullets into a crowd fighting outside a downtown Sacramento bar before fleeing. A second person fired a gun but police do not yet know if he was in the crowd or in the car.
The killings took place in the city's lively entertainment district in the early hours of Sunday after a brawl broke out on 10th street outside a number of popular bars.
A total of six people, three men and three women, died in the 2am attack. Cops are yet to officially confirm the identities of the victims but two of the dead have been named as Sergio Harris, 38, and DeVasia Turner, 29.
Witness video obtained by KCRA showed rapid gunfire of at least 76 shots ringing out over the course of 54 seconds as people screamed and ran for cover.

We knew that was coming, because guns kill people. What is next, hammers, screwdrivers, knives, stones, bricks.......will we need permits for all those, only professionals will be allowed to own them?
