Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main focus of President Biden's 2023 executive order on gun violence?

President Biden's executive order aims to reduce gun violence by utilizing existing federal authority. Key areas include clarifying who is considered a firearms dealer requiring an FFL, promoting red flag laws, enhancing ballistics tracking through NIBIN, and addressing the marketing of firearms to minors and lost shipments.

How does the executive order affect firearms dealers?

The order directs the Attorney General to clarify the definition of 'engaged in the business' of dealing firearms. This means more individuals selling firearms may need to obtain a Federal Firearms License (FFL), with penalties for non-compliance including prison time and fines.

What are 'red flag laws' and how are they addressed in the order?

Red flag laws, or Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), allow authorities to petition courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others, often with limited due process. The executive order encourages their increased use.

What measures are being taken to hold the gun industry accountable?

The order directs the DOJ to release ATF inspection records of dealers cited for violations and encourages the FTC to analyze how gun manufacturers market firearms, particularly to minors and through military imagery, potentially mirroring strategies used against the tobacco industry.
