Implementing an \u201call-of-government\u201d approach to gun violence reduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>On Day One, Biden could sign an executive order creating an interagency task force on gun violence prevention. Such a task force could bring together the White House, the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, and any federal agency that touches gun violence with the goal of coordinating the national response.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Reinvigorating the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Biden\u2019s platform does not stop with new, more focused leadership. He has said he will direct his attorney general to deliver within the first 100 days a set of recommendations for restructuring the ATF and related Justice Department agencies to most effectively enforce gun laws, including by increasing the frequency of inspections on ATF-licensed gun dealers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. An overhaul of how the ATF classifies National Firearm Act weapons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The National Firearms Act subjects certain types of weapons and accessories \u2014 machine guns, short-barreled shotguns and rifles, and silencers \u2014 to heightened regulation. The ATF determines exactly which models, components and accessories should qualifies. Under new leadership, the agency could review its previous determinations and reclassify firearms and components teetering on the line of being considered an NFA weapon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Data collection and research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In order to truly understand the workings of America\u2019s gun violence problem, you need data, but there\u2019s not much high-quality data available. There\u2019s currently a two-year lag on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on gun deaths, no reliable data on the number of nonfatal gunshot injuries that happen every year, and no up-to-date, reliable nationwide database of crime statistics. The Biden administration could direct agencies to more efficiently collect and publish data, and prioritize data related to gun violence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Cracking down on untraceable \u201cghost guns\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>While it might be difficult to ban or prohibit ghost guns through executive action alone, there are proposals on how the ATF could use its rulemaking authority to regulate the parts needed to assemble homemade weapons. One, from Everytown for Gun Safety, would see the ATF requiring the manufacturers of ghost gun parts to stamp them with serial numbers, and subject buyers to background checks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Banning the importation of assault weapons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>While banning the manufacture and sale of assault weapons would require legislative action, the executive has significant authority \u2014 and, in fact, a legal obligation \u2014 to regulate the importation of firearms from abroad under the Gun Control Act of 1968. Biden could use that authority to restrict the importation of assault weapons.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Enact universal background checks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>There are also some modest laws that could have a chance even if the upper chamber has a Republican majority.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In 2019, an expanded background check bill sponsored by Republican Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia nearly made its way out of Congress and to the desk of President Trump, who signaled he would sign the bill. That is, until the negotiations process stalled amid Trump\u2019s impeachment. With a Biden administration more focused on expanding background checks, the Manchin-Toomey proposal \u2014 or something similar \u2014 could be signed into law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, so the first six are actions Biden could take unilaterally.&nbsp; The last is one that he would actually need Congress\u2019 cooperation. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless though, and as mentioned, gun owners should assume that this agenda WILL be implemented if Biden takes the White House. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/exclusive-the-independent-news-outlet-secretly-funded-by-everytown-for-gun-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"7-ways-biden-can-circumvent-congress-to-attack-2a-rights-as-president\" title=\"7 Ways Biden Can Circumvent Congress to Attack 2A Rights as President\">Exclusive: The \u2018Independent\u2019 News Outlet Secretly Funded by Everytown for Gun Safety<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What can gun owners do to prevent it? &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure anything can be done, honestly.&nbsp; But if you have some ideas, please list them in the comments section.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-ae41d089-eb13-4a30-ba1e-f4d46f2650ee\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Biden is coming for the 2A if he is sworn into office on Jan. 20, 2021.
