RELATED: House passes bipartisan gun reform legislation, sends to Biden https://bit.ly/3QN8iKg Proclaiming that "lives will be saved," President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan gun bill Saturday designed to keep weapons away from dangerous people, one month after a horrific elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. "At a time when it seems impossible to get anything done in Washington, we are doing something consequential," Biden said in brief remarks at the White House, hailing the gun bill as the most significant law of its kind in "the last 30 years." Citing a litany of mass shootings from Las Vegas to Parkland, Fla., Biden said people for too long have urged government to "do something" about the gun problem. "How many times have you heard that?" Biden said. "Just do something; for God's sake, just do something. Well, today, we did." » Subscribe to USA TODAY: http://bit.ly/1xa3XAh » Watch more on this and other topics from USA TODAY: https://bit.ly/3q3ON4B » USA TODAY delivers current local and national news, sports, entertainment, finance, technology, and more through award-winning journalism, photos, videos and VR. #Biden #Guns #GunControl
