Last year, President Biden signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most significant gun violence reduction legislation enacted in nearly 30 years. While he celebrated the bill’s passage, he called on Congress to seize bipartisan momentum and move forward with more general steps to reduce gun violence. He has repeatedly called on Congress to take action, including banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, requiring background checks on all gun sales, mandating safe gun storage, closing loopholes in dating violence restrictions and repealing the exemption for the responsibility of gun manufacturers.
Continuing to call on Congress to act, President Biden will do everything in his power to reduce gun violence and save lives. That’s why, over the past two years, President Biden has taken more executive action to reduce gun violence than any previous president during his entire presidency.
