Biden Issues Executive Order On Background Checks

US President Joe Biden has issued an executive order that aims to increase the number of background checks conducted before firearm sales.
It aims to move the US “as close to universal background checks as possible without additional legislation”.
The Democratic president signed the measure Tuesday during a visit to Monterey Park, California, where a gunman killed 11 people in January.
Action on gun control appears unlikely in a divided Washington.
Last year, Mr Biden signed a cross-party gun violence reduction measure into law and he has repeatedly asked Congress to do more about what he calls an “epidemic”.
But his call for an assault weapons ban, universal background checks on gun sales and repealing gun manufacturers’ immunity from prosecution are unlikely to make headway while Republicans control the US House of Representatives.
Mr Biden’s executive order – which does not require the approval of Congress – acknowledges this political reality and lays out a series of actions within his authority, beginning with the expansion of background checks.
“It’s just common sense,” said the president. “Check whether someone is a violent felon, a domestic abuser, before they buy a gun.”
