Two months after 11 people were killed and nine others were injured in a mass shooting that has rocked the city of Monterey Park, California, President Joe Biden acknowledged the mostly Asian American community’s “unbreakable spirits” as he announced a sweeping executive order to “accelerate” his administration’s work on gun reform.
“This is a tight-knit community with intergenerational households and deep reverence and respect for its elders,” the president said in his remarks inside the Boys & Girls Club of West San Gabriel Valley on 14 March.
