Biden Urges Gun Reform on George Floyd's 50th Birthday

On what would have been George Floyd's 50th birthday, President Biden reiterated his commitment to fighting gun violence and called for Congress to pass meaningful police reform. While legislation with Floyd's namesake, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, is currently stalled in the House, Biden signed an executive order implementing some elements of the bill. He urged Congress to act and emphasized the need for real and lasting change at the state and local levels. Biden has been a staunch supporter of gun reform in policing and previously established the Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
