A deadly school shooting in Georgia is yet another example of why the country needs more common-sense gun laws, Vice President Kamala Harris said at a New Hampshire rally Wednesday.

Its just outrageous that every day in our country, in the United States of America, that parents have to send their children to school worried about whether or not their child will come home alive, the Democratic nominee for president said.

Hours earlier, a gunman at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, shot several people, reportedly killing at least four people and injuring dozens of others.

We have to end this epidemic of gun violence in our country once and for all. You know, it doesnt have to be this way, Harris continued.

She also pushed back against the pro- and anti-gun dichotomy used by Republicans , saying a Harris administration would seek to implement basic guardrails while still protecting Americans gun rights.
