Gun safety advocates are pushing US President Joe Biden to take stronger measures on his own to curb gun violence after the Texas elementary school shooting.

The White House has spoken with gun safety groups since Tuesday’s rampage in Uvalde, Texas, in which 19 elementary school students and two teachers were killed – the deadliest school shooting in nearly a decade – activists said.

The White House has been in touch with top Democrats in Congress regarding next steps on firearms laws. “President Biden is not doing enough,” David Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland, Florida, high school massacre, said on Wednesday. They include requiring that “ghost guns,” which are often assembled from kits, be regulated the same way as traditional firearms, and launching a strike force aimed at cracking down on illegal firearms trafficking in major cities, including New York and Los Angeles.“He should declare gun violence a public health emergency,” said Kris Brown, president of Brady, a gun violence protection group.

The White House says Biden has already called it an emergency and a legal invocation would not lead to the authorities needed to address gun violence.
