American President Joe Biden lashes the US Senate asking for the bipartisan law to be approved as soon as possible, which will introduce limits, albeit very timid, to the use of weapons. And he does so by praising his home state, Delaware, which has accepted the appeal from the White House by immediately adopting measures against the spread of firearms.
The Legislative Assembly of Delaware – Biden said – approved a “historic” ban on assault weapons, imposed “severe limits” on the sale of large capacity magazines and passed a law to “improve significantly. “controls on buyers of firearms.
Among the measures approved by Delaware, the president points out, also the one that makes firearms manufacturers “responsible” for the way they market and sell “weapons of war”. These, the president says, are “reasonable measures” that garner the consent of the “vast majority” of Americans “and work.”
However, continues Biden – recalling the recent Buffalo and Uvalde massacres – “a national crisis requires a national response” and “it is time for Congress to do the right thing”. It is a “question of conscience and common sense”.
Even before Delaware, another Democrat-led state – New York – had responded to the appeal launched by the White House. Meanwhile, the death toll in the shooting that took place yesterday in an Alabama church has risen to three.
