Biden Calls for Gun Reform on Sandy Hook Anniversary

In the wake of a recent shooting that claimed four lives at a Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin, President Joe Biden has renewed his calls for gun control, urging Congress to enact measures such as universal background checks and a ban on assault weapons. His remarks coincide with the 12th anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, where he highlighted his administration's efforts to combat gun violence, including the establishment of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Critics have pointed out contradictions in Biden's stance, particularly referencing his son's pardoning for gun crimes and the ineffective nature of existing state laws in preventing gun violence. Additionally, data has emerged indicating a rise in violent crime during his presidency, countering his claims of progress. Despite these controversies, Biden emphasizes the need for continued action to protect communities from gun violence.
