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.

Federal report finds 68,000 guns were illegally trafficked through unlicensed dealers over 5 years

Quick Glance: Over 68,000 illegally trafficked guns through unlicensed dealers in US, report unveils

New data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives reveals that more than 68,000 illegally trafficked firearms in the US came through unlicensed dealers who are not required to perform background checks.

Justice Department officials stated this accounts for 54 percent of the illegally trafficked firearms in the US between 2017 and 2021.

The firearms were used in 368 shooting cases, posing challenges for investigations as unlicensed dealers do not need to maintain sales records that could help federal agents trace the weapon back to the original buyer, said ATF Director Steve Dettelbach.

The report, commissioned by Attorney General Merrick Garland, marks the first comprehensive analysis of firearm trafficking investigations in over two decades.

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed an assault weapons ban passed by the state Legislature and instead signed two more limited gun regulations into law.

Youngkin signed laws banning gun trigger switches that can make firearms fire automatically and allowing criminal charges against parents who allow children access to weapons deemed threats.

While praised by gun control activists, they urge him to do more, emphasizing that the work does not stop here.

The signing of the two gun control bills by Youngkin is seen as a step in the right direction, showing that America's gun violence crisis does not have to be accepted as inevitable.
