Amid rising crime, Biden targets gun violence in the US

Al Jazeera  

After wave of mass shootings, Biden to impose a ‘zero-tolerance’ policy for gun dealers who flout the rules. Responding to a string of mass shootings and rising crime in the United States, President Joe Biden is taking new steps to control gun violence with a “zero-tolerance” policy for gun dealers and new funding for police and communities. “Let’s show the world and show ourselves that democracy works, and we can come together as one nation,” Biden said, calling on Congress and states to tighten gun ownership rules. Biden is asking Congress for more money for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the agency responsible for enforcing federal gun laws and regulating gun dealers, White House officials said. Biden has long political experience with implementing anti-crime and gun control measures that will help him as he navigates the US’s sharply divided present-day politics on guns and crime.
