Second Amendment advocates criticize the Biden administration's new rule that requires additional background checks on buyers at gun shows and other venues outside of traditional stores. The rule aims to prevent unlicensed dealers from selling firearms without conducting background checks.
Second Amendment advocates are slamming a new rule from the Biden administration that will require thousands of additional firearms dealers across the nation to run background checks on buyers at gun shows or other places outside brick-and-mortar stores. The rule aims to close a loophole that has allowed tens of thousands of guns to be sold every year by unlicensed dealers who do not perform background checks to ensure the potential buyer is not legally prohibited from having a firearm.
Biden administration officials said they are confident the rule, which drew more than 380,000 public comments, would withstand anticipated lawsuits from gun rights groups. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
