Biden attended an event held at the White House regarding the Gun Regulation Act, which was passed by Congress after 30 years.

–  Guns are the number one killer of children in the US . More children are killed by guns than car accidents and cancer. In the last 20 years, the number of high school children killed as a result of an armed attack is greater than the number of policemen and soldiers killed on duty – said Biden.

The US President pointed out that gun sales measures should be expanded accordingly and that guns should not be sold to people with a record of domestic violence and said that guns should only be sold to people who can keep their guns in a safe place.
