This is VOA news. Reporting by remote, I'm David Byrd. President Joe Biden has announced a half dozen executive actions aimed at addressing a proliferation of gun violence across the United States that he called an "epidemic1" and an "international embarrassment2." AP's Sagar Meghani reports. With relatives of those killed in school shootings watching in the Rose Garden, the president called American gun violence an international embarrassment. "The idea that we have so many people dying every single day from gun violence in America is a blemish3 on our character as a nation." After pledging last month to take immediate4 commonsense5 steps, he announced the half dozen executive actions on regulating homemade ghost guns and other steps. But the president has limited power to act on guns. "There's much more that Congress can do." He's calling on the Senate to take up House-passed background check bills and urging lawmakers to go further. But Senate Republicans remain near united against most gun control proposals. Sagar Meghani, Washington.

欢迎收听美国之音新闻。我是大卫·伯德,为您远程报道。美国总统乔·拜登宣布了六项行政措施,旨在解决美国各地枪支暴力泛滥的问题,拜登认为,枪支暴力是“流行病”,令美国“在国际上难堪”。请听美联社记者萨加尔·梅加尼报道。校园枪击案中遇难者的亲属前往白宫玫瑰园观看拜登讲话,总统表示,枪支暴力令美国在国际上难堪。“美国的枪支暴力每天都在夺走很多人的生命,这是美国的性格缺陷。”在上个月承诺立即采取常识性措施后,拜登宣布了六项关于监管自制幽灵枪和其他措施的行政行动。但拜登总统在控枪问题上的权力有限。“国会能做的还有很多。”他呼吁参议院处理众议院通过的背景调查法案,并敦促议员们采取进一步行动。但是参议院的共和党人仍然团结一致反对大多数枪支管制提案。萨加尔·梅加尼,华盛顿报道

Most adults will not need a permit to carry a handgun in the U.S. state of Tennessee anymore. AP correspondent Ben Thomas explains. A new law which takes effect July 1st allows adults 21 and older and military members between 18 and 20 to carry a handgun either openly or concealed6 without first clearing a background check and training. The law does make exceptions for people with certain mental illnesses and criminal convictions and it does not apply to long guns. Governor Bill Lee signed the measure into law, tweeting it shouldn't be hard for law-abiding Tennesseans to exercise their Second Amend7 rights. The Republican is up for reelection in 2022. I'm Ben Thomas. For more on these stories and the rest of the days news, visit our website. This is VOA news.
