Biden Celebration Of New Gun Law Clouded By Latest Shooting

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Monday hailed a new bipartisan law meant to reduce gun violence as “real progress,” but said “more has to be done” after just 16 days in effect, that legislation already has been overshadowed by yet another mass shooting. Biden on Saturday invited Americans to share with him via text — a new White House communications strategy — their stories of how they’ve been impacted by gun violence, tweeting that “I’m hosting a celebration of the passage of the Safer Communities Act.” He told some of their stories on Monday of people traumatized by shootings and kids left orphaned by gun violence. “And as we were reminded by the shooting on July 4, and there’s so many other gun deaths that have occurred since then, the crisis of of gun violence is just far more urgent.” Volsky’s group, along with other gun violence advocacy groups, was set to host a news conference on Monday outside the White House calling on Biden to stand up a dedicated office at the White House to address gun violence with a greater sense of urgency. “I recently signed the first major bipartisan gun reform legislation in almost 30 years into law, which includes actions that will save lives,” Biden said after July 4th shooting.
