WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden on Saturday signed the most sweeping gun violence bill in decades, a bipartisan compromise that seemed unimaginable until a recent series of mass shootings, including the massacre of 19 students and two teachers at a Texas elementary school.
The House gave final approval Friday, following Senate passage Thursday, and Biden acted just before leaving Washington for two summits in Europe. Most of its $13 billion cost will help bolster mental health programs and aid schools, which have been targeted in Newtown, Connecticut, and Parkland, Florida, and elsewhere in mass shootings.
While the bill does not included tougher restrictions that Democrats have long championed, such as a ban on assault-type weapons and background checks for all gun transactions, it is the most impactful firearms violence measure from Congress since enacting a now-expired assault weapons ban in 1993.
Shadey Pines let's this guy play with sharp objects?
Deflect, Deflect, Deflect
Another piece of useless legislation. Let’s try actually enforcing and prosecuting the existing laws
Does anyone think the criminals and mentally insane will be affected? They could care less about these Law's; this only affect the Law-Abiding Citizens who try to do the right thing! Wake up America, the criminals will still have the guns.
Ok you signed a law for mental health aid to schools which is a great step in the right direction, but “sweeping gun laws” unless this article forgot to add some very pertinent info about something… that would over exaggerating.
Greatest President ever.

Rich Lowry: How Joe Biden destroyed his own credibilityCommentary: 'The president’s handling of events has been poor and the same with his policies. But nothing has been quite as bad as his snakebit, maladroit, poorly informed, dishonest attempts to spin away the miserable results of his governance.' A large % of Utahn's wouldn't know 'maladroit' if it snakebit them, RICH lol. Obviously Rich is clueless too. Rich Lowry is not one to talk about a lack of credibility. GOP apologist and lackey.

Joe Biden outlines how he will battle states over abortion in post-Roe U.S.The president said his administration would protect women's rights to cross state lines in order to access abortion services. What was the point in the law than. All bullshit. We should be worried about other things like gas prices so people can go to work. Rent and home prices so people can live in there houses. Food prices so that we can eat. Get y’all’s shit together in the White House. Smh I mean… how much more nonsense do they need to put out there for their ridiculous perceived benefit… really.. 🤦♀️
