Biden's Bipartisan Safer Communities Act Marks Two Years of Significant Gun Safety Progress
Jun 25, 2024, 04:25 PM
Today marks the second anniversary of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, signed into law by President Joe Biden. This legislation, considered the most significant gun safety reform in decades, was passed with bipartisan support and aims to enhance public safety by expanding background checks, closing the 'boyfriend loophole,' cracking down on gun trafficking, and incentivizing states to adopt 'red flag' laws. The law also provided $1 billion for crisis and community intervention programs and made the largest investment ever in mental health and addiction services. The act was a response to tragic shootings in places like Parkland, Uvalde, and Buffalo. Despite these advancements, many lawmakers emphasize the need for further action to address gun violence and protect communities.
