Washington — On Saturday, US President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan gun safety bill. This is the first major federal gun reform in 30 years, a few days after the Supreme Court expanded its gun rights.
"Today is a monumental day," Biden said at the White House with his wife Jill. "God willingly save many lives."
Thursday's Supreme Court said the US Constitution would protect the right of individuals to publicly carry pistols for self-defense. Was declared for the first time. Gun control has long been a divisive issue in the country, with some attempts to repeatedly fail new regulations on the sale of guns.
The new law keeps guns out of the hands of people who are considered dangerous to themselves and others, and is guilty of abusing unmarried intimate partners. Contains provisions to prevent the sale of guns to people convicted of. It does not prohibit the sale of assault guns or large magazines.
The law has taken some steps in the background check by allowing access to information about the serious crimes committed by the boy for the first time. It will also crack down on the sale of guns to buyers convicted of domestic violence.
It provides new federal funding to the state that administers a "danger signal" law aimed at removing guns from those who are considered dangerous to themselves and others.
Biden said he would host an event in July for victims of gun violence to show the signing of the bill.
"Their message to us was to do something ... we did today," Biden said.
The President also repeatedly criticized Friday's Supreme Court ruling, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion nationwide, and his administration violated how the state implemented the decision. Other legislation that states that it will focus on avoiding.
"Is the Supreme Court broken? The Supreme Court has made some terrible decisions," Biden said. "Jill and I know how painful and devastating this decision is for so many Americans, which means so many Americans. We are women's rights.
