Former Vice President Joe Biden took to Twitter on Monday to offer his condolences and exhort Republicans to "act now to save lives" in the wake of the massacre in Las Vegas.

Appalled by the senseless loss of life in Las Vegas. Jill and I hold all those affected and grieving in our hearts.

How long do we let gun violence tear families apart? Enough. Congress & the WH should act now to save lives. There's no excuse for inaction.
