Teachers union president Randi Weingarten called for gun confiscation Tuesday, saying the U.S. must follow “what other great democracies” have done to ban guns, following the shooting at a Christian Nashville school.

Weingarten addressed the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Tuesday morning regarding the aftermath of the school shooting that killed three children and three adults. After having a moment of silence for the victims, she reignited calls to ban “assault weapons.”

“Today, we renew our call for common sense gun safety legislation, including a ban on assault weapons. This is an epidemic,” Weingarten said.
