Vice President Kamala Harris spoke on Saturday at the funeral of 86-year-old Ruth Winfield, one of the 10 people killed when a racially motivated mass shooter armed with an assault rifle opened fire at a Buffalo grocery store on May 14.
"Let's have an assault weapons ban," Harris said. She also encouraged listeners not to "allow small people to create fear in our communities."
Speaking to reporters later, Harris described the AR-15-style rifle the killer used as a "weapon of war" that has "no place in civil society."
