This last incident is likely to bring the discussion about gun control legislation to Congress once more like last week President Biden signed half of a dozen executive orders into effect. Taking aim at the proliferation of gun violence across the nation that he called an “epidemic and an international embarrassment.”

“It is actually a public health crisis,” Biden said during his remarks at the White House.

There have been nineteen mass shootings since the beginning of April in the United States of America alone — including three incidents on Saturday alone.

The definition of a mass shooting is a shooting incident that results in three or more casualties (dead or wounded) excluding the shooter(s).

Gun Control has been a major topic of discussion in Congress since Biden first took over his term of the presidency after the series of mass shootings since the beginning of this year. But Biden’s EO will not prevent any mass shootings. They actually underscore the limitations of Biden’s executive power to act on guns. The EO’s tighten regulations on homemade guns and provide more resources for gun-violence prevention, but fall far short of the sweeping gun-control agenda.
