A new gun law has already prevented some potentially dangerous people from owning guns. But since that law was signed by President Joe Biden last summer, the number of mass shootings in the United States has only grown.
WASHINGTON — Nine months ago, President Joe Biden signed a sweeping bipartisan gun law, the most significant legislative response to gun violence in decades.The law already prevented some potentially dangerous people from owning guns. Yet since that signing last summer, the tally of mass shootings in the United States has only grown.
"What in God's name are we doing?" he asked in a speech last Tuesday, calling for a ban on so-called assault weapons like those that were used to kill at The Covenant School in Nashville."There's a moral price to pay for inaction." But the persistence of mass shootings in the United States highlights the limits of congressional action. Because the law was a political compromise, it did not address many Democratic priorities for gun control, including universal background checks or the ban on"assault weapons" for which Biden repeatedly has called.
In contrast, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said Congress should"act with the fierce urgency of now." "This is sickening, but the opportunities for legislative change normally come after really terrible mass shootings," said Murphy, who has been the lead Senate advocate for gun control since the 2012 mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn."I hate that, I wish that wasn't how it works."On Wednesday, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y.
Tillis said he is aware of a separate case in his home state where a person under 21 who had been charged with assault and battery and assaulting a police officer was flagged and prevented from buying a gun.

Biden's strategy on Trump's indictment: No commentPresident Joe Biden says he's not going to talk about former President Donald Trump’s New York indictment. Biden was asked Friday if he had any reaction to the indictment, if he was concerned about possible protests and what he thinks the indictment means for the rule of law in the United States. Biden’s answer was the same each time: No comment, no comment, no comment. It's a broader tactic the Democratic president's administration is trying to take as it relates to the Republican former president's indictment by a Manhattan grand jury: Take the political temperature down, stay out of active criminal matters and focus on Biden's agenda.
