Quick Glance: Biden Administration Implements Stricter Background Checks for Gun Dealers
- A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.
- President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.
- The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.
- Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.
