President Biden is taking his case for tougher gun limits directly to the American public, writing in an op-ed that his power is limited and Congress must 'do more.'
President Biden is taking his case for tougher gun limits directly to the American public, writing inMr. Biden, writing in USA Today, said last year’s bipartisan bill to expand background checks for young people and red flag laws that remove guns from those who are a danger to themselves or others was just a good start, and he is exploring executive action to rein in firearms.
Mr. Biden, who recently announced his reelection bid, took credit for past actions against gun violence even as he said more needs to be done. The bill got through Congress after a racially motivated mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and a massacre in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
The president said he wants to build a bigger coalition to convince Congress it is time to ban AR-15-style weapons, which are often dubbed “assault” weapons. He said law enforcement could serve as a critical voice in the fight since police officers do not want to be “outgunned” by criminals with high-powered weaponry.
