Biden signs bipartisan gun reform bill into law, one of the most significant pieces of federal firearms legislation in decades

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act is one of the most consequential pieces of federal firearms legislation since the 1990's.

The bill was passed by the Senate and the House on the same day.

Lawmakers worked for weeks to craft a bill that included millions of dollars for mental health services and school security in the wake of mass shootings at a supermarket and elementary school.

Red flag laws allow law enforcement to temporarily seize guns from individuals who are a threat to themselves or others.

Biden said after the Senate passed the bill into law that bipartisan members of Congress came together to heed the call of families across the country.

Families in Uvalde and Buffalo are demanding action. We acted this evening.
