In his recent speech addressing the Safer Communities Summit, Joe Biden made a remark that left people confused as the US President said "God save the Queen..." For those knowing Queen Elizabeth II passed away last year, the statement made in June 2023 seemed to be a blabbing moment of the bureaucrat that was caught on camera.

While ending his speech about gun safety in the nation, he said, "I'm going to ask The White House photographer to come up...I'm going to stand in front of each section. I really mean it. And, I really mean it. If you could see the camera, they can see you. And, it's the least consequential part of this whole meeting for you."
"I promise. All right? God save the Queen, man," he signs off.

Details from the summit
On Friday (local time), Biden urged tougher gun restrictions, one year after Uvalde, Texas, school massacre. The decision came observing the one-year anniversary of the first significant piece of federal firearms legislation in nearly three decades. He was seen declaring it was only an "important first step."
"You have to take action. You have to move. You have to do something." "If this Congress refuses to act, we need a new Congress." Biden applauded the crowd at a gun safety summit in Connecticut - full of survivors of gun violence and family members of victims - for turning "your pain into purpose" and vowed not to let up on his advocacy for tougher laws.
He spoke on the anniversary of last year's legislation that tightened gun access, signed a few weeks after a gunman took the lives of 19 elementary school children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas. A decade earlier, 26 children and staff were killed in the Sandy Hook school massacre less than an hour's drive from Hartford.
Last year's law toughened background checks for the youngest gun buyers, sought to keep firearms from domestic violence offenders and aimed to help states put in place red flag laws that make it easier to take weapons away from people judged to be dangerous.
