Biden laid out several ways his administration will tackle gun violence. He ordered action on ghost guns, firearms without serial numbers that are sold in kits. He directed the Justice Department to draft a new rule regulating a device that can be placed on a pistol to turn it into a short-barreled rifle.
He also instructed the Justice Department to create a template that states can use to enact “red flag” laws, which allow judges to seize firearms from people who are deemed a threat to themselves or others. And he ordered a repeat of a landmark 2000 gun-trafficking study that was instrumental in helping police determine the source of guns used in crimes.

Curbing gun violence is one of the most pressing public health safety concerns in America. Passing common sense gun control has to be one of the Biden Administration’s top legislative priorities to stop the onslaught of violence now gripping most major cities from coast to coast. Absent new gun control laws, the nation’ cities will descend further into violent chaos and jeopardize the economic rebound now underway.
