Frequently Asked Questions

What is Biden's plan regarding private gun sales?

President Biden intends to use executive powers to direct the ATF to issue a rule that effectively bans private gun sales. This is being achieved by redefining who is considered 'engaged in the business of selling firearms,' which will require more individuals to obtain federal firearms licenses and conduct background checks.

How did Republican votes contribute to current gun control measures?

Fourteen House Republicans and fifteen Senate Republicans voted with Democrats to pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. This legislation is now being leveraged by the Biden administration to implement stricter regulations, particularly concerning the definition of a firearms dealer and the scope of background checks.

What are the potential consequences of the new definition of 'firearms dealer'?

Under the proposed redefinition, selling a firearm to a friend or family member could be interpreted as being 'in the business of selling firearms.' This could necessitate a federal firearms license and background checks, with penalties of up to five years in jail and a $250,000 fine for non-compliance.

Is there evidence that universal background checks reduce gun violence?

Research from California over a ten-year period indicated that universal background checks had no discernible effect on gun homicide or suicide rates. The argument presented is that most mass shooters acquire firearms legally, and these checks may not be an effective deterrent.
