"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.

"Biden Administration Implements New Rule to Tighten Gun Buyer Background Checks"

The Biden administration has announced a new rule that will require thousands more firearms dealers to conduct background checks on buyers when selling at gun shows or other places outside brick-and-mortar stores. The rule aims to close a loophole that has allowed unlicensed dealers to sell tens of thousands of guns without performing background checks. President Biden sees this as a step to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and felons, while gun control advocates praise it as a victory for safer communities. However, the rule is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists.

"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.
