Justice Department publishes rule to close ‘gun show loophole’
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.

Maine Republican blames mass shooting on law expanding abortion access
Quick Glance: Maine Republicans Censured Over Connecting Mass Shooting to God's Wrath on Abortion Law
  • Two Maine Republican lawmakers faced censure on Thursday for linking the state's deadliest mass shooting to God's anger over a bill expanding abortion access.

  • Following discussions on a new legislative proposal, Michael Lemelin and Shelley Rudnicki were formally reprimanded by the chamber.

  • Initial remarks triggered swift bipartisan condemnation in Maine's Democrat-led House of Representatives.

  • A censure vote by the House resulted in both legislators being barred from speaking or voting until issuing apologies.
