U.S. President Joe Biden has cited U.S. firearms violence as an internationally embarrassing issue. He has issued several separate executive orders on firearms control, saying no amendment to the constitution is final.President Biden sat in the Rose Garden of the White House on Thursday to discuss changes to the firearms control law. He noted that the controversy surrounding gun rights was completely unfounded. The Second Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees the right of citizens to bear arms. American society is deeply divided over this right.President Biden said there was a second amendment to the constitution from the beginning. He noted that not everyone had the opportunity to collect all types of weapons.
Comparing America's firearms violence to an epidemic, Biden said the issue has become internationally embarrassing for the United States.
President Biden, along with Vice President Kamala Harris and Attorney General Merrick Garland, has announced six steps to control firearms in the United States. In it, he instructed the judiciary to take action to control ‘ghost guns’ (home-made firearms).
This type of light firearm is made by easily purchasing spare parts from online. These firearms do not have any registration or serial number.
These self-made weapons are widely used in violence in America. President Biden, in his directive, has called for a "background check" before buying online. At the state level, he enacted the Red Flag Act to make it harder for people at risk to procure guns.Biden's directive calls for the conversion of light pistols into consideration under the National Firearms Act.
President Biden has instructed the judiciary to release a report on gun smuggling or gun smuggling.
Five federal government agencies will spend money on community-based firearms violence through various programs.
President Biden has nominated David Chipman, one of the most vocal voices in fire control in the United States, as head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). David Chipman has 25 years of experience as an ATF agent.
President Biden announced the executive orders, citing recent violence in the states of Atlanta, Colorado and South Carolina. "People are being shot every day," he said. The matter has become an epidemic. It needs to stop.Biden's directive on firearms control from the Rose Garden was attended by representatives of the United States, who are vocal about firearms violence. Among them was former congresswoman Gabriel Gifford. Gifford himself was fatally shot in 2012 by a gunman. The parents of the children killed in the 2012 shooting at Sandyhook Elementary School in Connecticut were also invited to the White House.
President Biden called on the House of Representatives and Senate to enact rapid firearms control legislation. The two regulatory laws passed in the House of Representatives have not been passed in the Senate. The Republican Party opposes the control of firearms law.
Addressing the opposition, President Biden said, "Prayers and good wishes have been enough." Now it's time to take action.People who have long fought against this violence are happy that Biden has taken the initiative to control firearms in America.
But Republicans have reacted negatively. Kevin McCarthy, a Republican leader in the House of Representatives, said Biden was not taking a hard line against criminals. On the contrary, he is interfering in the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens. He said that any problem should be solved by following the constitution.Similarly, Republican Senator Ted Cruz said tough action must be taken against criminals. But the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens cannot be denied.
