The president wants new laws US President Joe Biden has been briefed on the shooting in Half Moon Bay, White House press secretary Karen Jean-Pierre tweeted. Biden is said to have asked that the local authorities get all the necessary help they may need. Earlier Monday, two teenagers at a school in Iowa were also killed, and a teacher injured. On Monday, Joe Biden urged Congress to pass laws banning more assault weapons and raising the age limit for gun purchases to 21. He asked the politicians to act quickly. Gun injuries are the most common cause of death among Americans under the age of 24, according to a December 2022 survey. Another survey shows that in the United States there are 120 handguns for every 100 Americans. No other country has so many guns per inhabitant, the Swiss survey shows.
