President Joe Biden spoke to a crowd of people Tuesday at Gun Sense University, an annual training conference held by Everytown for Gun Safety in Washington, and reaffirmed his commitment to work for more gun restrictions as he faces reelection in November.

He touted the work of his administration so far through executive orders, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, and the funding allocated in the American Rescue Plan. Among the listed statistics were hundreds of millions of dollars for violence intervention programs, funding for state-led crisis interventions, and more than $1 billion for increasing school safety.
