Biden's Unwavering Commitment to Gun Safety Despite Controversy

President Biden called for stronger gun laws at a firearms safety summit in Connecticut, saying American children caught up in school shootings are suffering from the same trauma as soldiers in war. Despite one mass shooting after another in the United States, any effort to pass new gun control measures is almost certain to fail in the Republican-controlled House. However, Biden said Congress must find a way to tighten the laws and if it refuses to act, "we need a new Congress." The legislation already had an effect on violent crime in America, but Biden called it merely a "first step."
