Washington: For the first time since being sworn in as US president, Joe Biden has taken a big step to curb the country’s gun culture.
Joe Biden has issued orders under the name “Gun Violence Public Health Epidemic”.
The Biden government has taken steps to control the manufacture of ghost guns in America. Ghost guns are illegal means of guns that are not registered.
The ghost gun spare parts are assembled in-house and are sold randomly. It’s hard to find where the guns come from and mostly such guns are used in the mass shooting in the country.
Biden declared that serious measures would be taken regarding the gun violence along with Vice President Kamala Harris and the head of the department of justice, Garland.
It was decided to regulate guns under the National Firearms Act.
President Joe Biden called US gun violence an “epidemic” and “international embarrassment” on Thursday unveiled his first attempt to put a stop to this gun violence.
“This is an epidemic for God’s sake and it must stop.”
The recent shootings in Georgia and Colorado were a big shock, it was a massacre, and only then did they decide to impose control on these.
