Biden Blames Crime Rates Surging on Guns, Prepares Executive Orders to Combat Problem
(Worthy News) – President Joe Biden plans to tackle escalating crime rates on Wednesday, a politically charged issue that has rarely been a winning one for Democrats. And once a president addresses any issue, he owns it.
Biden will unveil an anti-gun crime prevention strategy on Wednesday as homicides, in particular, tick up across the country. But Biden’s acknowledgment of the situation chafes his muted response to this year’s spate of mass shootings, and it presents a risk for Democrats before the 2022 midterm elections.
The White House confirmed Tuesday Biden was poised to announce another slate of anti-gun executive actions and boosts to community policing. Activists condemned the first raft of measures covering ghost guns, stabilizing braces, and red flag laws introduced in April as timid, and they were unable to hide their hopes that Democratic control of the White House and Congress would result in further-reaching reforms.
