‘Enough prayers’: Biden says time for action on US gun control
President’s executive actions come in the wake of two mass shootings and pressure on legislators to pass more lasting laws. United States President Joe Biden on Thursday unveiled a series of executive actions to address gun violence in the United States in his first major action on gun control since taking office. “Gun violence in this country is an epidemic and it is an international embarrassment,” Biden said at a White House ceremony attended by key members of Congress and representatives of gun control advocacy groups. Shannon Watts, the found of Moms Demand Action Against Gun Violence, an arm of the former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg founded Everytown for Gun Safety, called the executive orders “a huge victory for the gun safety movement”. “Days like today are why we fought so hard to bring a gun safety champion to the White House,” said Giffords, who founded the gun violence prevention organisation Giffords in the wake of the shooting.
