"Justice Department Updates Gun Regulations to Expand Background Checks for Online and Gun Show Sales"

The Justice Department has submitted the "Engaged in the Business" Final Rule to the Federal Register, clarifying when a person is "engaged in the business" of dealing in firearms and required to obtain a federal firearms license. The rule aims to increase compliance with federal background check requirements for firearm sales, requiring those predominantly selling guns for profit to be licensed and conduct background checks. The rule aligns with the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and aims to prevent unlicensed dealing, enhance public safety, and clarify regulations for licensed firearms dealers.
