President Joe Biden has made a renewed appeal for a ban on assault weapons following a series of mass shootings before Independence Day celebrations. One incident in Philadelphia resulted in five deaths and two children being injured, while three more deaths and 14 injuries occurred in four separate shootings in Fort Worth, Texas. Biden expressed grief for these tragic incidents and called for stricter gun control measures, urging other states to follow Illinois' example in banning assault rifles. He emphasized the need for Congress to pass meaningful gun reform laws and rejected the idea of arming teachers as a solution.
