In 2022, President Joe Biden signed a significant gun safety legislation, marking the most comprehensive reform in nearly three decades. This move came in response to a tragic incident where a White supremacist carried out a mass shooting at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket, resulting in the loss of 10 lives.
The new law includes provisions that allocate over $750 million to assist states in implementing crisis-intervention programs. It also addresses certain loopholes in existing gun-control laws and mandates more thorough reviews for individuals aged 18 to 21 seeking to purchase firearms.
