United States President Joe Biden has called on lawmakers to pass legislation to curb gun violence in the country, a week after 19 children were shot dead by a gunman in their school.
Biden proposed several laws, including a ban on assault weapons, which was allowed to lapse under a Republican administration in 2004.
Other proposals included a limit on high capacity magazines, secure storage laws, red flag laws, universal background checks, and the removal of protection laws for gun manufacturers.
