President Joe Biden on Monday hailed the bipartisan gun safety legislation he signed into law last month as an important step that will save lives, while urging the advocates and activists who’ve pressed for more comprehensive gun laws to keep up the fight.
Mr Biden put his signature to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — the first gun-related legislation to clear both the House and Senate in more than three decades — on 25 June, just one month after a gunman wielding an AR-15 style rifle killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and six weeks after a white supremacist murdered 10 others in a Buffalo, New York supermarket.
