Biden to designate Pulse nightclub as national memorial, renews gun control calls on mass shooting anniversary
Fox News
President Biden announced Saturday that he would designate Pulse nightclub, where 49 people were gunned down five years ago, a national memorial, as he again called on Congress to pass gun control legislation.
Biden pushed for the Senate to take up House-passed legislation to close loopholes to background checks, ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, establish "red flag" laws and eliminate gun manufacturers’ liability immunity. He also said the nation must acknowledge the impact of gun violence on the LGBTQ community. "We must drive out hate and inequities that contribute to the epidemic of violence and murder against transgender women – especially transgender women of color," the president said.More Related News
