Biden's Persistence on Gun Safety Despite Gridlock and Controversy

President Joe Biden marked one year since the passage of the first major gun safety legislation in a generation during a summit in Connecticut, calling for further steps to protect communities and arguing that he believes the movement has reached a “tipping point.” The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, signed into law last year, includes millions of dollars for mental health, school safety, crisis intervention programs, and incentives for states to include juvenile records in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Biden also called for Congress to ban assault weapons and end liability immunity for gun manufacturers.
