Joe Biden heckled by gun violence victim’s father
Joe Biden was heckled as he called for further action on gun safety laws, including a full ban on assault weapons.
The President spoke to a crowd of hundreds of lawmakers, advocates, as well as relatives of gun violence victims at the White House.
The President marked the passage and signing of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act in the wake of a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left nearly 20 children dead.
But as the President continued speaking, the father of a gun violence victim called him out for not doing enough.
At the end of his remarks, Biden acknowledged more needed to be done, focusing in particular on the availability of high-powered weapons.
“We’re living in a country awash in weapons of war,” Biden said. “What is the rationale for these weapons outside war zones?”
“Assault weapons need to be banned,” Biden continued. “They were banned. I led the fight in 1994. And then under pressure from the NRA and the gun manufacturers and others, that ban was lifted in 2004. In that 10 years it was law, mass shootings went down.”
“I’m determined to ban these weapons again, and high capacity magazines. … I’m not going to stop until we do it,” the president added.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
