Calling gun violence in the US an "epidemic" and an "international embarrassment," President Biden yesterday outlined a few steps aimed at tackling the problem.
Crackdown on "ghost guns," or guns that come in kits and can evade law enforcement because they don't have serial numbers.
Subject firearms that utilize stabilizing braces, which effectively turn pistols into short-barreled rifles, to more regulation.
Direct the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to release an annual report on firearms trafficking.But as executive orders, not actual laws, these moves are more a tremor than an earthquake.
