Biden calls for freedom from gun violence on July 4th

President Joe Biden has called for more action to address the "epidemic of gun violence" in the United States following recent mass shootings in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Fort Worth that claimed the lives of at least 10 people. Biden urged Republican lawmakers to negotiate with Democrats on gun reforms, including banning assault weapons, implementing universal background checks, and ending gun manufacturers' immunity from liability. The United States has experienced over 340 mass shootings so far this year, reigniting the contentious debate over gun control.
