Biden announces limited gun restrictions as pressure rises following mass shootings
Facing pressure to act after a recent spate of high-profile mass shootings, President Joe Biden unveiled a package of moves Thursday that seek to address a scourge of gun violence he deemed a “blemish on the nation.”
“Gun violence in this country is an epidemic,” Biden said in the Rose Garden to an audience of lawmakers and Americans touched by gun violence. “And it’s an international embarrassment.”
The executive actions which Biden repeatedly argued did nothing to impinge on the Second Amendment right to bear arms include efforts to restrict weapons known as “ghost guns” that can be built using parts and instructions purchased online.
