Gun violence has been an active debate in the United States for years. Now that the number of yearly school shootings<\/a> has increased, many want policy and reform. Overall, most Americans want guaranteed safety for their children. In 2024, the country saw more school shootings<\/a> than in previous years.<\/p>\n

On December 14, 2024, President Joe Biden<\/strong><\/a> issued a statement on the 12th anniversary of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. He pointed out that those impacted by the tragedy advocated for change.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the strength of this emboldened movement by our side, we have made historic progress to reduce gun violence over the past four years,\u201d Biden explained. \u201cI signed into law the most significant piece of gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years. I announced dozens of executive actions to keep guns out of dangerous hands and get especially dangerous weapons off our streets. \u2026 After four years under my administration, homicides are down, crime is falling, and we are seeing fewer mass shootings. This progress is no accident.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden went on to point out that the U.S. is the \u201conly nation experiencing this epidemic\u201d of gun violence. He added that Congress should enact \u201cuniversal background checks, red flag laws, safe storage requirements, and a ban on assault weapons like the one used at Sandy Hook.\u201d<\/p>\n
