Following a Bloomberg investigation that linked U.S. gun exports to increasing global crime rates, the Biden administration is planning to implement the strictest gun-export restrictions in decades. The proposed measures aim to reduce the use of U.S.-made firearms, including semiautomatic weapons, in foreign crimes and human rights violations by tightening oversight and imposing stricter know-your-customer rules on commercial exports. Congressional Democrats, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren, have urged the U.S. Commerce Department to extend a pause on assault weapon exports and to enhance oversight. This push for tighter gun control coincides with President Joe Biden's call to Congress for action to prevent gun violence after a series of shootings in Joliet, Illinois, resulted in eight fatalities.
