https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68791474 #GunShowLoopHole The WH is to close a loophole that allows thousands of firearms to be sold at gun shows & on the internet without federal background checks.
It will classify around 23,000 vendors as licensed firearms dealers, making their gun sales subject to the checks.
AG Garland said: "If you sell guns predominantly to earn a profit, you must be licensed."
The Biden administration said it expected a court challenge by pro-gun groups, but was confident it would win. -
“It will also close the #GunShowLoophole & it closes the fire sale loophole as well by clarifying how #firearms dealers who go out of business or lose their #license must go about liquidating their inventory,” #MerrickGarland told reporters. “Under this #regulation, it will not matter if #guns are sold on the internet, at a gun show or in a brick & mortar store, if you sell guns [you] must conduct #BackgroundChecks.”
