US President Joe Biden again called on Congress this Sunday to pass gun control laws after several violent events were recorded, including a birthday massacre.

“What has our nation come to when children cannot go to birthday parties without fear, when parents have to worry every time their children go out of school, to the movies or to the park?” the president said in a statement.

Joe Biden sent this message hours after learning that at least four people had died and more than a dozen were injured in a shooting at a teen’s birthday party in Dadeville, Alabama (southeast of USA), Saturday evening.

The event, which is still full of unknowns, took place on the same day that at least two people were killed and four were injured by gunshots in a park in Louisville, Kentucky.

In the same city last Monday, five people were killed and eight others were injured, including two policemen, as a result of a shooting at a bank.

“Firearms are the leading cause of death for children in USAand their number is increasing, not decreasing,” the president said. Although it has not been officially confirmed, those killed in Dadeville may have been teenagers who attended a 16th birthday party, media outlets such as CNN have noted.

Announces implementation of standards

Joe Biden He assured that he was ready to “work in good faith on federal legislation that saves lives,” and emphasized that it is “in the power of Congress” to implement rules such as “safe possession of firearms requiring background checks for all sales.” weapons, remove immunity from liability for arms manufacturers, and ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”

“Americans agree and want legislators to act on common sense gun safety reforms,” he added. Joe Bidenwho criticized the Republican Party for attending last week’s annual meeting of the National Rifle Association (NRA, in English).

Leading Republican candidates, including former President Donald Trump, have been involved in defending the right of citizens to bear arms.

USA There were at least 162 mass shootings in the country this year, according to the Archives of Gun Violence, which defines mass shootings as those in which four or more people died, not counting the perpetrator of the attack.
