TL;DR Summary

The White House criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for signing a bill that allows people to carry concealed weapons without a permit, making Florida the 26th state to do so. The bill overturns a state law that required gun owners to obtain licenses to carry concealed weapons. The White House press secretary called the move "shameful" and "the opposite of commonsense gun safety," citing recent shootings in Florida. President Biden has called for stricter gun-control legislation, including a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
