Second Amendment advocates criticize the Biden administration's new ATF rule requiring additional firearms dealers to conduct background checks on buyers at gun shows and other venues outside of traditional stores, aiming to close a loophole allowing unlicensed dealers to sell guns without checks.

The Biden administration has approved a significant expansion of federal background checks on gun sales, aiming to regulate the growing shadow market of weapons sold online, at gun shows, and through private sellers. The new rule, released by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, will require anyone "engaged in the business" of selling guns at a profit to register as a federally licensed firearms dealer and conduct background criminal and mental health checks on potential buyers. This move, likely to face legal challenges, is part of President Biden's efforts to address gun violence and close the so-called gun show loophole.
The Biden Administration is closing the "gun show loophole" by implementing a more specific definition of being "engaged in the business" of selling firearms, requiring more people to register for a federal selling license and run background checks on buyers. The change, in accordance with the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, aims to prevent individuals from evading licensing and background check requirements, and to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and felons. Attorney General Merrick Garland signed off on the final rule, which also addresses the liquidation of firearms inventory for dealers who go out of business or lose their license.
A federal report reveals that over 68,000 illegally trafficked firearms in the U.S. passed through unlicensed dealers who are not required to conduct background checks over a five-year period, leading to 368 shooting cases. The report also highlights that the recipients of trafficked firearms were often individuals with prior felony convictions, and these guns were used in over 260 murders and 220 attempted murders. ATF Director Steve Dettelbach emphasized the responsibility of those involved in illegal firearm trafficking for the resulting violence. The Biden administration has proposed a rule to expand background checks to more gun sellers, drawing criticism from gun-rights groups.
