Read our privacy policy Speaking on the third anniversary of the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, America’s deadliest school shooting, Joe Biden was clear about his intentions for new gun control laws: there is no time to waste. “I am calling on Congress to enact common sense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets,” he said in a statement on Sunday. Mr Biden’s campaign promises included a wholesale ban on the manufacture and sale of assault weapons; a push to roll out personalised “smart gun” technology; closing various gun ownership loopholes, and banning the online sale of guns and ammunition. During the Obama administration, following a series of mass shootings including at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, Mr Biden as vice president took the lead on trying to shepherd through tighter gun control laws.
