It also directs federal agencies to promote and enforce laws known as “red flag”, already present in 19 states, through which weapons could be seized from a person considered dangerous, and also work to reduce the number of weapons that are lost and found in illegal circulation.

“Every few days in the United States we mourn a new shooting (…) We cannot accept these facts as a permanent reality in the life of the United States. Instead, we must insist that we’ve had enough and that we will no longer let the interests of gun manufacturers override the safety of our children and the nation,” Biden said in a statement.

Biden will also ask his cabinet to jointly develop a plan to support communities affected by gun violence. so far in 2023 110 episodes have already been registered. This is the first time in a decade that this type of shooting has exceeded three figures, when it’s barely the first three months of the year.
