Biden has signed the first gun control bill in the United States in the past 30 years

U.S. President Biden signed a community security bill in the White House on the 25th to deal with the problem of flooding of firearms.

This is the first time that the United States has made a breakthrough on gun control in the past 30 years. The last time the US President signed the gun control bill dates back to the 1993 President Clinton.

In the signing of the bill, Biden said that the compromise scheme reached by the two parties of Congress "did not fully meet my requirements", but "indeed includes the measures I have called for life for a long time."

The main contents of this bill include strengthening the background review of gun buyers from 18 to 21, qualitatively illegal gun purchase behaviors into federal crimes, $ 13 billion for gun violent prevention projects and psychological health treatment projects.

The Associated Press pointed out that although the bill does not include the prohibition of offensive weapons and comprehensive gun purchase background review that the Democratic party has called for a long time, this is the "most effective" passed by the US Congress since the offensive weapon ban promulgated in 1993, the US Congress passed "Gunning measures".

The United States has recently occurred major shooting in bad nature. A month ago, a shooting in a primary school in Uvadi, Texas, killed 19 children and two teachers. According to data from the US "Guns Violent File" website, more than 21,000 people in the United States have been killed for various types of gun -related incidents this year.

Biden was signed before the visit to Europe on the 25th. He said that he would hold an event in the White House on July 11 to celebrate this "historic legislative achievement." On the contrary, the prospects of the American gun control have not become optimistic. Just two days ago, the Supreme Court of the United States decided to abolish a law that restricted people to carry guns in New York State. This sets up legislative obstacles for the tightening of gun control measures in the United States.
