Which is why, on the heels of the tragedies we saw unfold across the last few days, the president continues to call on Republican lawmakers in Congress to come to the table and ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, to require safe storage of guns, to end gun manufacturers, immunity from liability and to enact universal background checks.\u201d Jean-Pierre continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Lives are at stake here,&#8221; Jean-Pierre warned, stressing the importance of these &#8220;meaningful, common-sense reforms.&#8221;  She claimed that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/pew-survey-gun-violence-concerns-surge-divide-over-impact-of-gun-ownership-persists\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"white-house-presses-republicans-for-action-on-gun-control-amid-holiday-violence\" title=\"White House Presses Republicans for Action on Gun Control Amid Holiday Violence\">majority<\/a> of Americans support these changes. &#8220;We need Republicans in Congress to protect our communities,&#8221; she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Biden also mourned the lives lost across the country over the 4th of July weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-biden-signs-bipartisan-safer-communities-act-with-help-from-these-15-gop-senators\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/biden-signs-bipartisan-safer-communities-act-with-help-from-these-15-gop-senators\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"white-house-presses-republicans-for-action-on-gun-control-amid-holiday-violence\" title=\"White House Presses Republicans for Action on Gun Control Amid Holiday Violence\">Biden Signs Bipartisan \u2018Safer Communities Act\u2019 with Help from These 15 GOP Senators<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In his own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2023\/07\/04\/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-gun-violence-across-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"white-house-presses-republicans-for-action-on-gun-control-amid-holiday-violence\" title=\"White House Presses Republicans for Action on Gun Control Amid Holiday Violence\">statement<\/a>, the president addressed a wave of shootings, from Philadelphia to Fort Worth, Baltimore to Lansing, Wichita to Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He marked the one-year anniversary of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Highland_Park_parade_shooting\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"white-house-presses-republicans-for-action-on-gun-control-amid-holiday-violence\" title=\"White House Presses Republicans for Action on Gun Control Amid Holiday Violence\">shooting<\/a> at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Illinois. Following this tragedy, Illinois lawmakers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/assault-weapons-ban-passed-illinois\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"white-house-presses-republicans-for-action-on-gun-control-amid-holiday-violence\" title=\"White House Presses Republicans for Action on Gun Control Amid Holiday Violence\">banned<\/a> &#8220;assault weapons&#8221; and &#8220;high-capacity magazines&#8221; statewide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biden praised Illinois&#8217; &#8220;progress&#8221; but called for more restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And as we have seen over the last few days, much more must be done in Illinois and across America to address the epidemic of gun violence that is tearing our communities apart,&#8221; Biden explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Violent crime has risen 86% over the past two years, and 56% over the past four in Chicago, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/illinois\/article_40a8774a-1b77-11ee-abc3-2b5f298541d5.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"white-house-presses-republicans-for-action-on-gun-control-amid-holiday-violence\" title=\"White House Presses Republicans for Action on Gun Control Amid Holiday Violence\"><em>TheCenterSquare.com<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biden urged other states to follow Illinois&#8217; lead and called on Republicans for support. As mentioned he seeks a nationwide ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, mandatory safe gun storage, an end to gun manufacturers&#8217; immunity, and universal background checks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/repeat-offender-on-probation-goes-on-murder-carjacking-spree\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"white-house-presses-republicans-for-action-on-gun-control-amid-holiday-violence\" title=\"White House Presses Republicans for Action on Gun Control Amid Holiday Violence\">Repeat Offender On Probation Goes on Murder, Carjacking Spree<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>He concluded by reiterating the broad public support for these &#8220;meaningful, commonsense reforms.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note precisely what Biden is saying. That is, the failure of these new restrictions in Illinois to curb &#8220;gun violence&#8221; in cities like Chicago is proof of the need to do &#8220;much more.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does that work exactly? It doesn&#8217;t make any sense. The reason?  Because it&#8217;s insanity. That is, it&#8217;s doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be clear, additional gun control laws will not disrupt the entrenched cycle of drug and gang-fueled violence that plagues our urban centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To truly address this issue, we must look beyond surface-level &#8220;solutions&#8221; &#8212; &#8220;solutions&#8221; that actively work to disarm the law-abiding &#8212; and dig deeper into its root causes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply repeating the same failed strategies will not lead us to different outcomes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, it will likely perpetuate the problem we aim to solve by rendering good guys defenseless in the face of the criminal element. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"white-house-presses-republicans-for-action-on-gun-control-amid-holiday-violence\" title=\"White House Presses Republicans for Action on Gun Control Amid Holiday Violence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the aftermath of a series of tragic shootings that darkened the Independence Day holiday weekend, the White House made a plea to Republican lawmakers to back more stringent gun-control measures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":115,"featured_media":177118,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,25,240],"tags":[132,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-190878","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>White House Republicans Gun Control Amid Holiday Violence<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"White House pushes for stricter gun control following holiday shootings;
