Good Morning DC,
Surrounded by 56 white candles honoring victims of gun violence, President Biden addressed the nation from the White House last night.
“After Columbine, after Sandy Hook, after Charleston, after Orlando, after Las Vegas, after Parkland, nothing has been done. This time that can’t be true. This time we must actually do something.”
What does the President want to do?
“If we can’t ban assault weapons then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21; strengthen background checks; enact safe storage laws and red flag laws; repeal the immunity that protects gun manufacturers from liability; address the mental health crisis.”
Joe Biden
Biden needs a minimum of 10 Republican senators to get it done.
Next week on Thursday at 8:00 pm, the January 6 Committee “will hold a hearing to provide the American people with a summary of our findings about the coordinated, multi-step effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.”
