amount of the top stories in office here us president joe biden has announced a series of measures to tackle gun violence calling the situation an epidemic and an international embarrassment biden says he'll restrict the use of self assembled weapons as well as arm braces that effectively turn some pistols into rifles and he's called on congress to help them pass even tougher measures. whether congress acts or not i'm going to use all the resources in my disposal present to keep the american people safe from gun violence but there's much more in the congress can do to help that effort and they can do it right now they've offered plenty of thoughts and prayers members of congress but they passed not a single new federal law to reduce gun violence. enough prayers time for some action. just hours after biden made that announcement news of another shooting broke in bryan texas one person has been confirmed dead and 4 people are in hospital the gunman is believed to be an employee at the cabinet business where the shooting took place. a critical care doctor says george floyd died from a la
