Many Places in US Become ‘Killing Fields’: Biden - Tasnim News Agency

US President Joe Biden called on lawmakers to pass legislation to curb gun violence in the country, saying there are too many schools and everyday places that have become killing fields and battlefields in America.

A week after 19 children were shot dead by a gunman in their school, Biden proposed several laws, including a ban on assault weapons, which was allowed to lapse under a Republican administration in 2004.

Other proposals included a limit on high capacity magazines, secure storage laws, “red flag” laws, universal background checks, and the removal of protection laws for gun manufacturers.
