US gun violence an international embarrassment, says Biden Brett Samuels © Getty Images President Biden unveils executive actions meant to combat American gun violence
President Biden on Thursday decried the epidemic of gun violence in America as an international embarrassment as he rolled out a series of executive actions intended to address the issue. Nothing I m about to recommend in any way impinges on the Second Amendment, Biden said in the Rose Garden. They re phony arguments suggesting these are Second Amendment rights at stake with what we re talking about. But no amendment, no amendment to the Constitution is absolute. So the idea is just bizarre to suggest that some of the things we re recommending are contrary to the Constitution, he added. Gun violence in this country is an epidemic. And it s an international embarrassment.
