President Joe Biden is addressing the Nation to reiterate his calls for new gun laws following several mass shootings. Watch now
President Joe Biden addressed the Nation on Thursday evening to reiterate his calls for new gun laws following several mass shootings.
Biden was slated to leave the White House for Delaware this afternoon but delayed his trip by a few hours to deliver the remarks. The latest mass shooting came on Wednesday when a gunman killed four inside a Tulsa, Oklahoma medical center. Biden said on Monday he was not in direct talks with Republicans on gun reform legislation, but thought last week's tragedy might prompt some to join Democrats in supporting a bill.
Democrats have proposed raising the age to purchase semi-automatic assault rifles, requiring background checks on all gun sales, and establishing new requirements for storing guns at home, among other items.
