President Joe Biden says his administration stands with advocates working to end gun violence and urges the nation to uphold the “solemn obligation” to “keep each other safe.”
U.S. President Joe Biden speaks at Germanna Community College in Culpeper, Virginia, U.S. , President Joe Biden says his administration stands with the advocates working to end gun violence and urges the nation to uphold the "solemn obligation" to "keep each other safe."
Biden has acted to crack down on " ghost guns," homemade firearms that lack serial numbers used to trace them and that are often purchased without a background check. He has worked to tighten regulations on pistol-stabilizing braces like the one used in a Boulder, Colorado, shooting that left 10 people dead. He’s also encouraged cities to use their COVID-19 relief dollars to help manage gun violence.
"We can never bring back those we’ve lost," Biden said. "But we can come together to fulfill the first responsibility of our government and our democracy: to keep each other safe. For Parkland, for all those we’ve lost, and for all those left behind, it is time to uphold that solemn obligation."
