US President Joe Biden says there is a need to go further with reform that places restrictions on firearms and bans assault rifles, following Monday’s shooting in Illinois that left seven dead and 30 wounded.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday, stressing that the president was “very clear” about the need to go deeper into firearms reform.

“Pleased” with the laws adopted in June

However, he claimed that Joe Biden he is “pleased” with legislation passed in June agreed between Democrats and Republicans.

A spokeswoman indicated that a shooting on Monday during a parade in the city of Highland Park (Illinois) for the US Independence Day USAwhich is celebrated on July 4, the attacker used a machine gun.

Jean-Pierre emphasized that thirty years ago, when Joe Biden he was a senator, led the effort to ban assault weapons, and now would like to see such an achievement again.

In that sense, he was optimistic that such a veto would be possible in Congress, where Democrats have a slim majority in the Upper House after a minimal deal reached in June.

In 1994 the Legislative USA passed the Brady Act, which prohibited assault weapons at the federal level, although it expired ten years later when it was not renewed by congressmen.

Last June, Congress approved tougher gun control following an agreement between Democrats and Republicans after 19 children and 2 teachers were killed in a May shooting at an elementary school in Uvalda, Texas, and other schools. racist attack in Buffalo, New York.

Despite this legislative milestone, the Supreme Court USA., with a conservative majority, expanded the right to bear arms in June, approving that they can be carried in public places.
