Here’s the Biden Administration’s Latest Attempt to Go After the Second Amendment – By Madeline Leesman (Townhall) / April 12, 2024
On Thursday, the the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) announced that it will close what is known as the “gun show loophole” when it comes to buying firearms.
According to ABC News, this policy will tighten an already-existing rule, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, by updating what it means to be “engaged in the business” of selling firearms (via ABC News):
“The rule now explicitly lists the types of commercial activities that indicate whether a person should become a federally licensed dealer and thus be required to run a background check; prevents people from evading the licensing and background check requirements by claiming that they are just selling a few guns, according to the White House; and prevents people from falsely claiming that guns are part of a personal collection and exempt a seller from running a background check on a buyer.
By being more specific and precise in the definition, Administration officials on a call with reporters said it would require more people to register for a federal selling license and run a background check on the person they are selling to.“
