Where are the calls for more gun control after Trump was shot?

I have not heard any Democrats, or anyone in the main stream media talk about
gun control since the shooting, this is a first.

President Biden renews call to ban AR-15 rifles after Trump assassination attempt July 17, 2024

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden renewed his call for stronger gun control Tuesday following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump ...

... in a speech Tuesday in Las Vegas at the NAACP National Convention, Biden finally did − declaring it's time to ban assault weapons like the one used in the shooting at a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pa.

"An AR-15 was used in the shooting of Donald Trump, just as it was assault weapons that killed so many others including children. It's time to outlaw them," Biden said, drawing applause from supporters.

@ElwoodBlues And that from someone who has no clue what an AR-15 is
@sunsporter1649 Meanwhile, firearms have been the leading cause of death for US children and teens since 2020, representing 19% of all deaths for children 18 years and younger in 2021.

@sunsporter1649 If guns make you safer,
Why are guns banned from RNC meetings??
Why are guns banned from NRA meetings??
Why are guns banned from EVERY TRUMP RALLY??

C'mon dude, why do all these groups ban guns if guns make you safer??

Answer: Guns DON'T make you safer, and these groups know it!!

@ElwoodBlues So why has gun crime gotten worse lately? We have far less households
with guns now, than we did 40-50 years ago when we had very little mass shootings.

Something has been broken in the mental health arena, it has nothing to do with guns.

In 1970 50% of households had guns. When I was a kid in the 60's & 70's, every family
I knew had guns and ammo in their unlocked closets, and no one EVER even thought
about playing with them, or using them. Something has changed, and it has absolutely
NOTHING, to do with guns. Only 35% of households have guns now days, and most
have them are in locked cases and safes.

What changed???
