In the United States, attacks on people with firearms have become more frequent, resulting in the deaths of dozens of citizens over the past two months.
In this regard, Joe Biden is initiating a ban on the sale of assault rifles and magazines for them in the country.
The American president also calls for measures to tighten gun control.
Note that currently residents of the United States have the right to buy assault rifles and magazines with a capacity of up to 30 rounds each.
We must ban the circulation of assault-style firearms and high-capacity magazines – Joe Biden, Rossiya Segodnya MIA.
According to the head of state, if such a ban is impossible, then the age at which Americans can sell weapons should be raised – from 18 to 21 years old.
Another initiative of the country’s leader is a more thorough background check of potential weapon buyers.
The president’s other proposals include “removing the barrier” that protects gun manufacturers in the courts and changing requirements for storing firearms.
Biden called his initiatives “rational, common sense steps.”
