On the 12th local time, US President Biden said he planned to sign the gun safety reform bill proposed by senators from both parties earlier in the day.
In a statement, Biden called the proposed legislation “the most significant gun safety legislation Congress has passed in decades.” “Obviously, it didn’t do everything I thought was needed, but it represented an important step in the right direction for us,” Biden said. With bipartisan support, Biden sees no reason to delay passage of gun safety legislation.
Before Biden’s statement, 20 senators in the U.S. Senate, including 10 Democrats and 10 Republicans, had reached an agreement on the outline of a proposal for a new measure to address gun violence, which the two parties have now reached only on basic principles Agreement, the legislative text has not yet been written.
