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.

“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).
