"Push for Gun Control Gains Momentum with White House and Local Support"

The White House has called on congressional Republicans to reverse their stance on gun policy and pass an assault weapons ban. The House Freedom Caucus recently released a budget proposal that seeks to end the "pistol brace" ATF rule, which requires gun owners to register stabilizing devices. The Biden administration has unveiled an executive order aimed at tightening regulations for private gun sales, increasing awareness of state "red flag laws," and clarifying the definition of someone "engaged in the business" of selling firearms. The likelihood of passing additional federal gun legislation in this congress is slim with the GOP holding a majority in the House.
