US President Joe Biden. File photoWASHINGTON, Jun 12U.S. President Joe Biden backed the senators' initiative for changes to federal gun ownership and promised it would help save lives. «More children are being killed in this country every day: the sooner it gets on my desk, the sooner I sign it, and the sooner we will be able to use these measures to save lives,» Biden said in a widespread statement. He stressed that the draft will not do everything necessary, but it represents steps in the right direction and will be the most significant gun safety document that Congress would support in decades. .According to NBC News, a group of bipartisan senators proposed a framework agreement to change gun ownership law. Parliamentarians in a joint statement indicated that the proposed measures should protect children, make schools safer and reduce the threat of violence across the country, the TV channel reported. The proposed measures, the report said, would allow police or family members to take legal action to ban gun ownership for people deemed dangerous to themselves or others, a measure dubbed a «red flag.» For gun buyers aged 18 to 21, there is a stricter screening process that includes a mental health screening and a criminal record request, the release said. «/>Biden managed to offend dozens of US allies with one phrase. This is not the first initiative this year to overcome the «epidemic of armed violence,» as Biden previously described the situation. Prior to this, the President of the United States called manufacturing companies accountable, and also signed a law that prohibits the sale of kits for self-assembly of handguns on the Internet, weapons obtained in this way cannot be traced because they are not serialized at the factory. Another step towards way to reduce the number of murders was the rule introduced by the US Department of Justice that guns can only be sold to those who confirmed the presence of a safe at home for its safe storage, the White House reported earlier. Since the beginning of the year, according to analysts, as a result of cases of use of firearms in The United States killed about 20 thousand people, and there were 260 cases in the country that are qualified as mass shootings. Including, in the state of Texas, an 18-year-old from an assault rifle killed 21 people at an elementary school, and in the city of Buffalo, 10 people were killed in a store.
