US President Joe Biden has unveiled a new strategy for the US administration to tackle the rise in gun crime, which includes hiring more police officers. On Monday, the US leader held a meeting at the White House with law enforcement officials, as well as federal and local authorities, on the subject.

According to the President, the plan, firstly, includes measures to combat the circulation of illegal weapons, which are sold in violation of federal law.

"Second, it's about supporting local law enforcement with the federal funds they need", Biden explained.

"Our strategy provides, among other things, funding for law enforcement so that states and cities have the ability to hire more police officers and pay them overtime to improve policing in local communities", the politician added.

Biden has previously called acts of gun violence in the US a veritable epidemic and an international disgrace. He said they cost the state $280 billion annually.

The right to buy and bear arms is guaranteed to Americans by the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. Because of the repeated incidents of mass shootings of citizens by miscreants in the country in recent years, the debate has intensified on what measures should be taken to tighten gun control. In recent years, the US federal authorities have repeatedly attempted such measures, but so far they have been unsuccessful.

MULANEY John

A man's man can be wearing the best clothes, drinking the finest wine, sitting with the most beautiful woman in Las Vegas, but if he doesn't treat everyone around him with respect and class, he's not a real man's man. He's just a jabroni in a good suit

OLSEN Chris

There is currently no beef

MALKOVICH John

I am humbled to be chosen for this award, which has been given to so many wonderful actors over the past 83 iterations of the Venice Film Festival

KIMMEL James

This is yet another attack on free speech, something that has become all too familiar for us at the show, for us in the country

COMPSTON Martin

It's for Jed to say, it's not for me to say whether the show will ever end but I think it's fair to say that this is the end of the story arc that's been building since series one. Everything will come to a head on this one.
