Expresses the need to reduce gun violence.
On the anniversary of the Parkland School shooting in Florida, President Biden called on Congress to “end our epidemic of gun violence and make our schools and communities safer.”
The president said on Sunday, “Today, 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.”
“We will take action to end our epidemic of gun violence and make our schools and communities safer,“ he said. “We owe it to all those we’ve lost and to all those left behind to grieve to make a change. The time to act is now.”
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that the issue is a personal priority to the president but there are no details of a proposed package nor a timeline on when it might be sent to Congress.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For God to work His will through the president’s desire to reduce gun violence.
- For members of Congress to have wisdom in the considering of restrictions on gun ownership.
