The American president continues his fight once morest guns. Joe Biden once more urged Congress on Sunday (May 7) to ban assault rifles, the day following a shooting at a mall in Texas. “I once more call on Congress to pass legislation banning assault rifles and high-capacity magazines. Introducing criminal and psychiatric background checks. Requiring safe storage [des armes]. Ending the immunity of arms manufacturers”he said in a statement.

“I will sign it immediately”said Joe Biden, assuring that the country had “need more action, and faster, to save lives”. “Too many families have empty chairs around their tables. Republican members of Congress cannot continue to respond to this outbreak with a shrug. Thoughts and prayers tweeted are not enough”he denounced.

Children are among the victims, according to the president. The United States, where killings are regular, has more individual weapons than inhabitants.
