U.S. President Joe Biden was interrupted during a celebratory address on Monday marking the passage of a law aimed at reducing gun violence by the father of a teen who was killed during the Parkland shooting.

“We have to do more than that,” said Manuel Oliver, whose 17-year-old son Joaquin was one of the 17 people killed in the Parkland shooting.

Biden told him to “sit down and hear what I have to say” before telling security: “let him talk, let him talk. Because make no mistake about it, this legislation is real progress. More has to be done.”

While applauding the bipartisan effort that resulted in the Safer Communities Act, which implements changes to the mental health system, school safety programs and gun safety laws, Biden said “assault weapons need to be banned” in the U.S.

“I’m not going to stop until we do it,” he said.
