The heads of multiple activist groups want decisive action from Biden.

Four years ago today, 14 students and 3 staff members lost their lives in a mass shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland, Florida. Unfortunately, in the time since then, the problem of gun violence in the United States still remains a strong constant. On the anniversary of the Parkland shooting, gun violence activists are asking for more decisive action from the US Government, and especially President Joe Biden.

“Biden has been a friend but not a leader,” David Hogg, founder of March For Our Lives and a survivor of the Parkland shooting, told CNN. “He’s made small steps but it’s not enough. The President hasn’t been receptive to our demands. We expected this from Trump, but we’re shocked that it’s coming from Biden,” he said.

To make their point clearer, a coalition of gun violence activist groups are conducting a rally outside of the White House, where they will have a billboard on display featuring the names of the over 47,000 people who have lost their lives to gun violence during the Biden Administration alone.

The coalition is calling on Biden to “establish a national office of gun violence prevention,” “invest in community violence intervention programs,” “hold the gun industry accountable” and “use the presidential bully pulpit” to keep governmental focus on the issue.

“We’re not asking for magical things. This is the bare minimum for what a champion of gun violence prevention should be doing, and thus far the President hasn’t,” Igor Volsky, founder of Guns Down America, told CNN.

“It’s been incredibly frustrating and frankly angering that as we see gun sales skyrocket, as we see gun homicides skyrocket, as we see a dramatic increase in the threat of political violence in this country and mass shootings, that this President has yet to issue a truly comprehensive plan of action,” Volsky said.
