‘Historic’ action by justice department closes ‘doggone dangerous’ loophole in Biden administration’s fight against gun violence
The sale of firearms on the internet and at gun shows in the US will in future be subject to mandatory background checks, the justice department said on Thursday as it announced a “historic” new action to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals.
The closing of the so-called gun show loophole, which exempts private transactions from restrictions that apply to licensed dealers, has long been a goal of the Biden administration, and is specifically targeted in the rule published in the federal register today.
…
The White House estimates that 22% of guns owned by Americans were acquired without a background check and that about 23,000 more individuals will be required to be licensed as a dealer after the rule’s implementation.
all the things you complain about are already illegal. it’s not that things aren’t enforced. it’s that CRIMINALS DON’T FUCKING FOLLOW LAWS.
Why wasnt Kyle Rittenhouse and the adult who bought the gun for him (illegally as a straw purchase) prosecuted?
Like, the issue is the laws aren’t enforced.
By your logic no law should exist, which might very well be what you meant to say
He was held responsible.
"The man who bought an AR-15-style rifle for Kyle Rittenhouse pleaded no contest Monday to a reduced charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor in a deal with prosecutors that allows him to avoid prison.
Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder accepted Dominick Black’s plea during a six-minute hearing. Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger dropped two felony counts of intent to deliver a dangerous weapon to a minor as part of the deal."
how does my logic say no law should exist? how the FUCK to you twist what I said to mean that? You’re delusional person who is afraid of an inanimate object. Yes, enforce the laws we have. making all these new ones does nothing but create more criminals.
