The speech was delivered at an event sponsored by Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety.

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) is the gun control bill which Republican Sen. John Cornyn helped Democrats fashion and pass in 2022.

The president went on to outline how the BSCA has opened the door for his administration to spend millions upon millions for more gun control and the promotion of more firearm regulations. And he noted the establishment of the “first ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.”

He said the office was created to send a “clear message” about how important the fight against gun violence is to him.
