US President Joseph Biden has repeatedly spoken out in support of increasing arms sales. In particular, he proposed to ban the sale of assault rifles and large-capacity stores, as well as to oblige buyers of weapons to pass an identity check.
On April 9, the US president proposed to Congress the first steps towards reducing armed violence in the country. Among the proposed measures – a ban on the sale of weapons, change the status of pistols modified by the stabilizer, as well as allow courts to seize weapons from individual citizens at the request of relatives or others. The governor of Texas then opposed the implementation of these measures.
