Original title: Biden talks regarding gun control, and the gunshots rang once more…
On June 2, local time, US President Biden delivered a speech on gun control at the White House. In his speech, Biden urged a ban on private possession of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines to curb the mass shootings that plague the United States, according to CNN and AFP.
Biden delivered the speech on a prime-time television show that day. “How much more massacres are we willing to accept?” Biden said in his speech that day, according to CNN. “How many more innocent American lives will be taken before we say enough? Enough.” Nothing,” Biden said, “this time we have to actually do something.”
In his speech, Biden urged a ban on private possession of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and said that without a ban, the age for purchasing assault weapons should be raised from 18 to 21, Agence France-Presse said. In addition, according to CNN reports, Biden also called for gun reform measures and pushes for Congress to strengthen background checks on gun buyers.
Additionally, Biden has called for the repeal of immunity that protects gun manufacturers from liability. “We should abolish this liability barrier that protects gun manufacturers from being prosecuted for causing casualties and damage to the weapons they make,” Biden said. “They are the only industry in this country that has that immunity… The special protections for the gun industry are outrageous. This has to end.”
Biden criticized the Republican Party’s continued opposition to gun control measures in the face of mass shootings as “unconscionable.” He concluded his speech by saying that change is needed “for the children we have lost, for the children we can save.”
