In a significant move to address gun violence, President Joe Biden has signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most substantial gun safety law in three decades. The legislation allocates $750 million to states to implement crisis interventions, including red flag laws that temporarily remove firearms from individuals who pose a risk to themselves or others.
President Biden hailed the law as a crucial step forward, stating, “That matters.” The law aims to reduce gun-related tragedies and promote public safety through proactive measures.
He said; Our Bipartisan Safer Communities Act – the most significant gun safety law in 30 years – provides $750 million to states to implement crisis interventions like red flag laws that temporarily remove firearms from those who are in danger to themselves or others. That matters.”
This landmark legislation marks a rare bipartisan achievement in a deeply divided political landscape, demonstrating a commitment to addressing the nation’s gun violence epidemic.
