"Biden Administration's Proposed Rule to Close Gun Show Loophole and Strengthen Background Checks"

The Biden administration has proposed a rule aimed at combating gun violence by requiring thousands more firearms dealers to conduct background checks. The rule, developed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), would target those in the business of selling guns, including online and at gun shows, and require them to obtain a federal firearms license. The proposed rule is a response to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which aims to prevent mass shootings and expand background checks. Gun rights groups argue that the rule would infringe on Second Amendment rights, while a majority of the public supports stricter gun laws. The proposed rule will be open for public comment for 90 days.
