President Biden is serious about trying to stem the tide of mass shootings that seem to be taking place almost daily in American life. Other developed nations experienced mass shootings and quickly moved to ban the weapons commonly used in these horrific events. America has taken a decidedly different approach, one that actually makes mass shooting weapons more readily available to the general public. Unsurprisingly, the shootings are continuing and more people are dying almost every day as a result.
