President Joe Biden speaks about gun safety on Friday, Sept. 22, 2023, from the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington. Vice President Kamala Harris listens at right. – President Joe Biden said Friday he was determined to stop gun violence in the U.S. as he formally launched the first-ever federal office to be dedicated to uncovering solutions and supporting communities ravaged by shootings.
It will seek to find new actions the White House can take unilaterally as further congressional support for gun safety laws seems slim. It will aim to build better support systems in states and cities and coordinate support for families who have lived through mass shootings and violence.But the office is limited in what it can do. In order to tighten restrictions or pass a ban on so-called “assault weapons,” as Biden, Congress would need to pass legislation. That seems unlikely.
