US President wants to sign a law banning high-powered guns that can kill many
As gun culture and violence increase in the United States, President Biden wants to sign a law that could end licensing high-powered guns being used in assaults.
“The idea that we will still allow the purchase of semi-automatic weapons is sick. Just sick,” Biden said on Thanksgiving Day. He said he would try to get rid of the military weapons.”
After last Saturday’s shooting at a gay club in Colorado Springs, he said, “When do we decide we’ve had enough? … We need to enact a gun ban to get guns off America’s streets.
When Biden and other lawmakers talk about “assault weapons,” they’re using the wrong term to describe a high-powered or long-range automatic rifle, such as an AR-15, which can fire 30 rounds quickly without reloading. In comparison, New York City police carry about half as many guns. Gun bans are far from a divided Congress.

But Biden and the Democrats have grown increasingly to push for stricter gun control, with no clear election results. Biden is confident Democrats support a ban on so-called assault weapons.
President Joe Biden and Democrats have grown increasingly vocal in pushing for stricter gun control. The Democratic-led House passed legislation in July this year to revive the 1990s ban on some semi-automatic weapons, with vocal support from Biden. The president has banned gun laws almost everywhere he has campaigned this year.
