During a speech in Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden addressed rising gun violence across America

President Biden addressed gun policy in a passionate speech at the “Safer America” rally, in Wilkes-Barre.

The President says he is “determined to ban assault weapons” in the United States, in a bid to curb violence and senseless shootings.

“It’s time to ban these weapons. We did it before. We can do it again.”
Joe Biden, U.S. PRESIDENT

He used the platform to call out Republicans for failing to support a ban on assault-style weapons, urging voters to “vote against” politicians that stand in the way of reform.

He accused Republicans of withholding their support for change because they’re “afraid of the NRA.”

“It’s time to hold every elected official’s feet to the fire and ask them: Are you for banning assault weapons, yes or no? Ask them… If the answer’s no, vote against them.”
Joe Biden U.S. President

We just passed the first significant new gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years in this country.

We took on the NRA—and beat them. But we are not stopping here.

I am determined to ban assault weapons in this country. I did it once before, and we are going to do it again.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 28, 2022

As a gun owner himself, Biden assured American’s he’s not “taking away anybody’s guns” or rights.

“I want to be clear: It’s not about taking away anybody’s guns. In fact, we should be treating responsible gun owners as examples how every gun owner should behave.”
Joe Biden U.S. PRESIDENT

However, Biden says there must be a bill in place to prevent dangerous people from accessing firearms.

The President referenced a grim statistic saying the biggest victims of gun violence are America’s children.

“More children die from gun violence in America than active police and active military combined”
Joe Biden, U.S. President

Investors are buzzing as SpaceX gears up for a potential IPO, aiming to raise more than $25 billion, possibly as soon as June. The offering could value the company at over $1 trillion, fueling Musk’s ambitious plans for Mars and beyond.

Despite the high-risk nature of space ventures, demand from retail investors is expected to be strong. Experts predict this IPO could become historic, with the company’s market value potentially soaring past $2 trillion once it launches.

Musk’s unconventional management style hasn’t slowed investor enthusiasm, even amidst regulatory hurdles. The funds raised could also support groundbreaking innovations, including energy-efficient space data centers.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.

Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
