According to Venkatraman, earlier in June marked the one year since U.S. President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan gun bill into law. Reports say the law was the first significant gun safety legislation in several years. It included a funding worth $750 million to help U.S. states implement and administer crisis intervention programs.
