White House vows action on gun violence in late-night statement, says 'thoughts and prayers' not enough

IMO the vast majority of gun violence always has been and always will be a social issue. If you deal with the underlying social issues in a nation, gun violence will decrease.

We banned the sale of guns, made it basically illegal. Gun violence is in the news everyday here in Canada. If politicians believe gun laws alone will curb gun violence, they should demand police be disarmed since the strict laws will protect them.

We all know gun violence comes from illegal sourced weapons.

The White House said late Tuesday night that President Biden would do everything within his power to reduce U.S. gun violence, emphasizing that thoughts and prayers alone will not resolve the issue

In a statement, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Americans have been "scarred by the devastating impacts" of recent gun violence.

She cited several instances of gun violence that made news headlines the last couple of days, including a gunman shooting two Newark, New Jersey, police officers from the roof of a building, rap artist Takeoff being killed in a shooting in Houston and 14 people being shot and injured in Chicago.

Also, if you dealt with the underlying problem of not punishing violent criminals.

Want to get rid of gun violence then some important questions need to be asked to do it. Just getting rid of guns won't solve anything because the people who want to hurt other people are still here, the criminals still exist.

1 - why does a country like Switzerland with gun ownership that rivals America's have the lowest violent crime in Europe? What is different about their society than ours?

2 - decades ago gun crime was a lot lower. What has changed in our country since then? I mean gun laws have only gotten stricter so why has gun violence increased? What is different in our country and society from then to now?

Just to note, gun laws have not gotten stricter. The Supreme Court over the years have erased a large majority of gun laws. Many states have passed carry laws.

They had no choice. The Supreme Court ruled they cannot restrict people from bearing arms.

Pass a law banning nonbinary and Trans from owning a gun.
