On Thursday evening, President Biden addressed the country, calling for a change in gun laws after the mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York.

Recalling his recent visit to Uvalde, where 21 people were killed, among them, 19 children, and his visit to Buffalo earlier this month, where 10 people were murdered in a supermarket, Biden announced that those communities and people nationwide have called on him to “do something.”

“I want to be very clear. This is not about taking away anyone’s guns,” Biden emphasized. “It’s not vilifying gun owners. In fact, we believe we should be treating responsible gun owners as an example of how every gun owner should behave.”

“I respect the culture and the tradition and concerns of lawful gun owners.”

He went on to say, “At the same time, the Second Amendment, like all other rights, is not absolute.”

Biden called for the banning of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines by reinstating the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, stressing that if that can’t take place, the government should raise the legal age to purchase such weapons from 18 to 21.

“Why in God’s name, should an ordinary citizen be able to purchase an assault weapon that holds 30 round magazines, that let mass shooters fire hundreds of bullets in a matter of minutes,” announced Biden. “The damage was so devastating in Uvalde, parents had to do DNA swabs to identify the remains of their children, nine and 10-year-old children. Enough.”

Biden went on to say that background checks should be strengthened, stressing that a “majority of gun owners agree on.”

“I also believe we should have safe storage laws and personal liability for not locking up your gun,” Biden continued.

Recalling Sandy Hook, he announced that the shooter came from a home with too many easy-to-access guns.

“If you own a weapon, you have a responsibility to secure it. Every responsible gun owner agrees, to make sure no one else can have access to it, to lock it up, to have trigger locks. And if you don’t, if something bad happens, you should be held responsible,” stated Biden.

He went on to say that there should be national red flag laws, clarifying that those in the public should be able to flag people that may be exhibiting concerning behaviors.

“We should also have national red flag laws so that a parent, a teacher, a counselor can flag for a court that a child, a student, a patient is exhibiting violent tendencies, threatening classmates, or experiencing suicidal thoughts, makes them a danger to themselves or to others,” announced Biden, who stressed that 19 states, as well as Washington DC, have such laws.

Biden called for the repeal of the liability shields that protect gun manufacturers.
