Biden: ‘We cannot end this epidemic until Congress passes commonsense gun safety laws’ 

“Since Uvalde, our country has experienced more than 650 mass shootings and well over 40,000 deaths due to gun violence. We cannot end this epidemic until Congress passes commonsense gun safety laws that keep weapons of war off our streets and out of dangerous hands,” President Joe Biden wrote on Twitter, Report informs.

“Today, guns remain the number one killer of children in America. We’ve taken action, but not nearly enough. It’s time to ban AR-15-style firearms and other assault weapons, and high-capacity magazines. Congress must act. It's been a year since Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas turned into another tragedy in America. A year of missed birthdays. A year of every day joys – his smile, her laugh – gone. Today, we mourn the 19 children and two educators stolen from us by gun violence,” ,” the President tweeted.
