Frequently Asked Questions

What are the new tactics being employed by gun control advocates?

Gun control advocates are shifting from pushing stalled legislation in Congress to focusing on executive actions and reinterpreting existing laws, such as the National Firearms Act (NFA), to regulate firearms.

How might the National Firearms Act (NFA) be used in new gun control efforts?

There is a proposal to regulate semi-automatic rifles under the NFA, similar to how machine guns and silencers are currently treated. This would involve background checks and registration for owners of these firearms.

Why are legislative bills for gun control stalled in Congress?

Gun control bills face significant hurdles in Congress, particularly in the Senate where a filibuster requires 60 votes to overcome. This necessitates strong bipartisan support, which is often lacking for such measures.

What is Giffords.org's role in gun control?

Giffords.org is described as a gun safety advocacy organization and a think tank that develops policy prescriptions, talking points, and statistics used by politicians advocating for stricter gun control measures.
