Biden's Controversial Gun Control Measures Spark Debate.

President Joe Biden plans to issue a new executive order to combat gun violence, directing Justice Department officials to increase the use of background checks for gun buyers and promoting safe storage of firearms. The order will also call for working with law enforcement to ensure the bipartisan gun control law passed last year is being put to full use. Biden's power to enact change is limited without Congress passing new gun laws, but he plans to ask the U.S. Attorney General's office to take whatever regulatory actions are available to get the U.S. as close to implementing universal background checks as possible without congressional approval.
