US, new shootings, Biden: "Saddened by this new wave of massacres"

"We grieve for those who have lost their lives, and as our nation celebrates Independence Day, we pray for the day when our communities will be free from gun violence." U.S. President Joe Biden expressed regret over the new cases of gun violence in the country, again calling for greater control over the movement of guns, his statement said."In recent days, our nation has once again experienced a wave of tragic and senseless shootings ... today, Jill and I are deeply sorry for those who have lost their lives," the president said in a statement. Biden urged U.S. authorities to do "much more" to combat the epidemic of gun violence in the country, including banning assault weapons and larger capacity magazines, introducing safe gun storage requirements and universal screening of customers.

Recently, there have been several cases of mass shootings in the United States. Thus, on the night of July 4, when the country celebrates Independence Day, following an overnight shooting in the U.S. city of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, five people were killed and eight were injured. In addition, at least three people were killed and eight were injured in a shooting in Fort Worth, Texas. Combating "the epidemic of gun violence," as U.S. President Joe Biden calls what is happening in the country, is the stated priority of his administration, but there is no significant progress in this process.
