Vice President Kamala Harris made the announcement on Thursday that all gun dealers then must conduct background checks, regardless of where or how they sell their goods.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was scheduled to release the law to the Federal Register on Thursday. It will be implemented in 30 days, Politico reported.
” It’s a false choice to indicate that you’re both in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take one’s weapons apart”, Harris insisted. ” I’m in favor of the Second Amendment, and I am in favor of affordable gun safety rules— for instance, history checks”.
” A background check is now required by law for gun stores to perform for each gun sale. However, some dealers who sell weapons elsewhere than the conventional weapons business, such as at a gun show, flea market, or even through social media, have gotten away without conducting background checks for decades.  , This is the thus- called’ gun show loophole,'” she stated.
Therefore Harris added more products to her list of gun control requests, including” President Joe Biden and I will continue to call on the US Congress to have the fortitude to move universal background checks, red-flag laws, and an assault weapons ban.”
On a national level, the idea of implementing red-flag laws, which permit the expropriation of forearms if the proprietor is deemed a danger to themselves or others, has been criticized as giving the government too little power.
The Rand Institute stated in January 2023 that there is insufficient evidence to support the impact of assault weapons restrictions on mass killings. There is little evidence that high-capacity newspaper restrictions may reduce mass shootings.
An administration official told investigators during a visit announcing the news that the new law, the most extensive development of firearms history checks in decades, would apply to more than 20 000 people who trade illegal firearms and have an annual impact on “tens and tens of thousands of weapon sales,” according to Politico.

The ultimate concept of today is intended to ensure compliance with a significant section of the existing law, which we all know, the information show, and where a number of people are flagrantly violating it. That leads to not just cruel but, in this case, dangerous effects”, ATF producer Steven Dettelbach stated.
The 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which was passed following the shooting in Uvalde, Texas, made the rule probable. The Act expanded the concept of a firearm dealer who is licensed to sell firearms and established increased background checks for purchasers under the age of 21.
