Vice President Joe Biden was in Connecticut Thursday - at Western Connecticut State University, 15 miles from Sandy Hook elementary School - to speak about gun control. He said, "If you're concerned about your political survival, you should be concerned about the survival of our children...There's a moral price to be paid for inaction."

One of Biden's goals was to obtain support for Obama's proposals on gun control. He referenced the Sandy Hook shooting multiple times, calling on elected officials to speak for the voices of those killed that day as a result of gun violence. Huffington Post reports:

"Biden advocated a series of proposals, including universal background checks for gun owners, a ban on many military-style weapons and a limit on the size of magazines. He said the measures would save lives even though there was no guarantee they would prevent all mass shootings. 'Fewer children will die,' Biden said."

Biden displayed strong conviction regarding the need for gun control legislation.
