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.

Quick Glance: DeSantis criticizes radical abortion and marijuana amendments

Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized ballot amendments that would guarantee abortion rights and legalize recreational marijuana for adults as too radical.

The amendments require 60% of the vote to pass and were approved by the Florida Supreme Court.

DeSantis argued that the abortion amendment was too broad and would create California-like abortion legislation.

He warned of marijuana stores popping up everywhere in the state, claiming that the quality of life would be affected by the proposed amendment.

President Biden's son Hunter loses bid to dismiss gun charges: A federal judge in Delaware on Friday declined to dismiss gun charges against Hunter Biden ...

reuters.com/legal/president-bidens-son-hunter-loses-bid-dismiss-gun-charges-2024-04-12/

Quick Glance: Judge Denies Hunter Biden's Attempt to Dismiss Federal Gun Charges

A judge in Delaware has denied attempts by President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden to dismiss three federal gun charges, all but ensuring a trial will move forward this summer.

Hunter Biden's lawyers had pinned their hopes for dismissal largely on the belief that an immunity provision in their plea agreement, which eventually collapsed, was validated upon both parties signing it. However, Weiss' office contended that the agreement necessitated approval from a probation officer, a requirement that was never fulfilled.

This ruling signifies another legal setback for Hunter Biden following a federal judge in California recently rejecting similar objections to a nine-count indictment related to tax offenses. The trial for this case is anticipated to commence shortly after the Delaware gun case.

Hunter Biden also alleged that Weiss succumbed to political pressure from Republicans and former President Donald Trump. Nonetheless, Noreika delivered a scathing criticism.
