Amplify: Biden Administration Closing ‘Gun Show Loophole’ and Expanding Background Checks for Firearms
The Biden-Harris Administration announced a new rule seeking to close the gun show loophole for firearm purchases. This is not a new law but rather an expansion of the definition of licensed firearm dealers. Under the new rule, background checks would be required for those who buy firearms at gun shows or online.
Highlights
This is the biggest expansion of background checks since the 1993 Brady Bill.
With more than 115,000 people shot and killed or wounded each year, the human cost of gun violence in America is staggering. Families, friends, and entire communities suffer the long-term and irreparable impacts of these tragedies.
Unlicensed dealers who do not conduct background checks are the largest source of firearms that are illegally trafficked into our communities.
The Justice Department estimates there are around 23,000 unlicensed firearms dealers who will now be required to complete background checks when selling guns
