Biden said as a nation, the U.S. owes action to the families of those affected by gun violence. Biden then said that, since the start of his administration, he has tried to act by “curbing the proliferation of ghost guns, cracking down on rogue gun dealers, promoting safe firearm storage.” Biden also said the American Rescue Plan legislation included funding for states and cities to spend on reducing gun violence.
Biden also said his budget calls for doubling funding for gun violence prevention research, including by treating gun violence as a public health threat.
Biden then called on the Senate to pass three bills he said would help reduce gun violence.
