The Biden-Harris Administration has officially closed the 'gun show loophole' as part of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, marking the largest expansion of firearm background checks in 30 years. This regulation mandates that all gun dealers, regardless of where or how they sell, conduct background checks. The move, aimed at preventing gun violence, has been widely supported by various representatives who view it as a critical step towards safer communities. Additionally, there are calls for further actions such as banning assault weapons and implementing universal background checks and red flag laws. Representative Maxwell Frost is also sponsoring a bill to establish a federal Office of Gun Violence.
