500 Charged Under Federal Gun Law Across The US
More than 500 people linked to cartels and organized crime have been charged under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. The White House says enhanced background checks blocked about 800 firearms sales to people under 21. The report notes $85 million in funding to 125 school districts for mental health and crisis response, while states expand red flag laws. Biden touts progress but calls for stricter checks and an assault weapons ban.
