The bipartisan Safer Communities Act provides funding to incentivize states to implement red flag laws, increases mental health resources and enhances background checks for gun buyers under 21, among other measures.
PUBLISHED 1:39 PM EDT Jul. 11, 2022President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday celebrated the gun safety reform law Biden signed last month, exactly one week after another mass shooting in which a gunman killed seven in Highland Park, Illinois. Biden echoed calls from advocates and victims’ family members for more impactful action, including a ban on semi-automatic weapons.
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act provides $750 million in funding to incentivize states to implement red flag laws — which can keep guns out of the hands of people considered dangerous— closes a loophole to keep guns away from more domestic abusers, increases mental health services for children and families and enhances background checks for gun buyers under 21 years old.
“You have to do more than this!” Oliver yelled, Biden listening and responding: “We have one. Let me finish my time.” Biden also said he owned four shotguns and believed in the second amendment as a “responsible gun owner.”“With rights come responsibilities,” Biden said. “Yes, there's a right to bear arms. We also have a right to live freely, without fear for our lives."
