Biden Urges Immediate Gun Control Action After Texas Mall Shooting.

President Joe Biden called on Congress to pass new gun control legislation and said he would sign it immediately following a mass shooting in Allen, Texas, that left at least eight dead and seven injured. Biden urged Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, enact universal background checks, require safe storage, and end immunity for gun manufacturers. This is not the first time Biden has attempted to tighten gun control measures, having signed an executive order aimed at expanding background checks in March.
