Biden renews call for assault weapons ban after Texas mall shooting.

President Joe Biden has called on Congress to pass a bill banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, enacting universal background checks, requiring safe storage, and ending immunity for gun manufacturers. This comes after eight Americans, including children, were killed in a mass shooting in Allen, Texas. Biden has directed federal agencies to provide support for the investigation and praised the first responders who acted quickly. He also highlighted the need for more action to address the epidemic of gun violence, which has already seen roughly 200 mass shootings and over 14,000 deaths in the US this year.
