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

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
