Throughout history, Congress has achieved very little in terms of tightening arms laws.
President Joe Biden calls for significant blackmail into U.S. gun laws. On the night between Thursday and Friday, Biden gave a speech at the White House during which he pressed the Congress to act.
“How much massacre are we prepared to accept?” the president asked with reference to the recent mass shootings.
Biden noted that too many mundane places have become the scene of a massacre. The president said several mass shootings have been ignored without politicians taking action.
Among other things, Biden demanded a ban on assault weapons and large magazines, raising the age limit for gun buyers to 21 years and background checks on buyers.
In addition, gun owners should be held liable if they keep the gun unlocked.
It is not a question of anyone taking their weapons away, the president stressed.
The United States Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said earlier that the House of Representatives will vote next week on a new law aimed at eradicating torture in the country.
Bill prepared by the House of Representatives The Protecting Our Kids Act carries in its name the idea of protecting children. Among other things, it would raise the age limit for gun buyers at the federal level from 18 to 21 years.
“This package of laws that we will be voting on next week will mean a lot in our fight against armed violence,” Democrat Pelosi said on Thursday.
It is very unlikely that the bill will succeed in the Senate, where Democrats have only a subtle majority.
Several devastating mass shootings have shaken the United States in recent weeks. The shootings at a supermarket in Buffalo, a primary school in Uvalde, and a hospital district in Tulsa have once again sparked a heated political debate over whether the gun problem should be addressed with guns or stricter laws.
More than 18,000 people have died as a result of gun violence in the United States in 2022, according to statistics from the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive. The chapter also includes suicides.
The majority of Americans are in favor of blackmailing gun laws, but Republicans and some Democrats have been blocking such legislation for years.
“Thoughts and prayers are important, but not enough. Congress must act, ”the vice president Kamala Harris said Thursday before Biden’s speech.
Biden hoped Senate Democrats and Republicans could reach an agreement but added that he considered it unreasonable that the majority of Republicans did not want to do anything.
