"Biden Takes Action to Expand Background Checks and Close Gun Show Loophole"

President Biden's administration is set to enforce a new rule expanding the number of firearms dealers required to conduct background checks on customers, applying to those who sell at gun shows and other venues outside traditional stores. The rule is expected to affect around 20,000 dealers and has drawn criticism from Republicans in Congress, who are moving to block it. Attorney General Merrick Garland detailed the new rule, which requires anyone selling firearms predominantly for profit to be federally registered and conduct background checks. Gun rights groups are likely to challenge the rule, but the administration asserts it does not infringe on Second Amendment rights.
