WH: America is enduring ‘epidemic of gun violence’
White House deputy press assistant Karine Jean-Pierre stated during a briefing on Wednesday that the United States President Joe Biden believes there is an “epidemic of gun violence”, both in mass shootings and in the lives that are being taken by gun firings.
According to Jean-Pierre, the president urges Congress to take action and calls on the Senate to pass the proposed three bills that would limit gun purchasing and require background checks for buyers. The legislation has already been passed by the US House with bipartisan support and is widely encouraged by the American people.
In regards, to the recent San Jose shooting, the White House is monitoring the situation and is looking forward to the results of the ongoing investigation.
