President Joe Biden on Tuesday once again required more stringent weapon control, consisting of a restriction on semi-automatic rifles, after numerous fatal “tragic and senseless shootings” leading up to the July Fourth vacation.
At least 10 individuals were eliminated in mass shootings in Baltimore Philadelphia, and Fort Worth,Texas The occurrences– in addition to others in Wichita, Kansas, and Lansing, Michigan– left lots of others hurt.
A string of shootings in Chicago over the vacation weekend eliminated 5 and left a minimum of 30 more injured, NBC Chicago reports.
“It is within our power to once again ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, to require safe storage of guns, to end gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability, and to enact universal background checks,” Biden stated in a declaration on Tuesday.
His remarks come one year after a mass shooting at a Highland Park, Illinois, Fourth of July parade that eliminated 7 individuals and injured almost 50 others.
In January, Illinois prohibited the sale of semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity publications.
“As we have seen over the last few days, much more must be done in Illinois and across America to address the epidemic of gun violence that is tearing our communities apart,” Biden stated.
There have actually been 346 mass shootings up until now this year in the U.S., according to the Gun Violence Archive, which specifies a mass shooting as an event in which 4 or more individuals are shot or eliminated, leaving out the shooter.
