US President Joe Biden, during a ceremony at the White House to mark the signing of a new gun control law on June 25, noted that this is the first significant progress in thirty years, but not enough to stop gun-related violence in the United States of America.

He emphasized that “it took a long time, with a lot of bloodshed and massacres”, noting that “over the past few years they have transformed our schools, places of worship, workplaces, shops, music festivals, nightclubs and many places of everyday life . to the killing fields.”

Biden listed recent shootings that killed 19 elementary school students and teachers in Yuvaldi, Texas, ten people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and seven people in Highland Park, Illinois, during a Day of independence 4th of July. In addition, he stressed that “tragic murders do not make headlines every day. Districts and streets have also become killing fields.”

He promised to restore the assault rifle ban that was in place from 1994 to 2004. Since the ban was lifted, millions of powerful submachine guns have been sold across the country and have been repeatedly used in massacres. “I am determined to ban these weapons again … I will not stop until we achieve this,” he said.
