Biden Administration Takes Action to Close Gun Loopholes: Is it in the Right Direction?
In response to recent mass shootings, the Biden Administration has declared executive action tackling gun violence by closing loopholes. The focus is implementing more robust gun control measures to ensure safer communities. The prevailing issue is the ease with which firearms can be purchased without background checks, a problem that this administration aims to combat.
Hailed as a significant stride towards curbing gun violence, the Department of Justice’s latest executive action demands potential gun sellers to submit themselves for licensing and conduct thorough background checks. This momentous change effectively abolishes a dangerous loophole that the Giffords Center has long criticized to Prevent Gun Violence and the Brady gun-violence prevention group. The decisive move to strengthen our life-saving background check system is expected to restrict access to firearms from undeserving individuals.
Amid a raging gun violence epidemic, Kris Brown, head of Brady United Against Gun Violence, has publicly lauded the Biden Administration’s unwavering resolve to tackle the issue head-on. With the proposed executive action set to clamp down on gun loopholes and foil the illicit distribution of firearms, Brown says the proposed measures are crucial in preventing guns from getting into the wrong hands. This effort by the Biden Administration is a step in the direction, hoping to reduce fatalities and injuries in communities nationwide significantly.
