Joe Biden<\/a>\u00a0called for gun control less than 24 hours after two LA County deputies were shot in the head and wounded during an ambush in Compton.<\/p>\n‘Weapons of war have no place in our communities,’ the former Vice President tweeted. ‘We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.’<\/p>\n
Donald Trump’s comments were in stark contrast to Biden’s, calling for a ‘fast trial’ and the death penalty for the ‘animal’ who carried out the attack.<\/p>\n
The gunman was still at large on Monday after the 31-year-old female deputy and 24-year-old male deputy underwent surgery on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
