Joe Biden admits to having "two rifles" but despite this he pushes for a close on guns. "What I mean is that the Second Amendment is not absolute," says the American president who mocks the idea of Republicans arming teachers to increase safety in schools.
“There are reasons why the military takes a long time to train someone. It's not easy to grab a shotgun or a pistol and blow someone's brains out, ”he points out.
Even today, several demonstrations were held in major American cities, with the anti-gun movement strengthening following the dramatic massacre in Uvalde , Texas, where 19 children and two teachers were killed in an elementary school.
" Keep demonstrating " is the appeal launched by Biden , who said he was "moderately optimistic" on the ongoing negotiations to find a compromise on arms reform.
A bipartisan group is working to find an agreement, according to the President, Congress must " ban assault weapons, strengthen controls and remove immunity for arms manufacturers ".
"We cannot disappoint the Americans once again," he said.
