Thousands more firearms dealers across the United States will have to run background checks on buyers at gun shows or other places outside brick-and-mortar stores, according to a Biden administration rule that will soon go into effect.

Biden has made curtailing gun violence a major part of his administration and reelection campaign, creating the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention overseen by Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden also has urged Congress to ban so-called assault weapons -- something Democrats shied from even just a few years ago.
The administration first proposed the rule in August, after the passage of the most sweeping gun violence bill in decades, a bipartisan compromise in response to the massacre of 19 students and two teachers at a Uvalde, Texas elementary school. The rule makes clear there are instances when a license is not be needed, such people who occasionally resell firearms to a family member or liquidate their personal collection.
"Expanding background checks and closing the gun seller loophole is a massive victory for safer communities -- and it was made possible thanks to the tireless advocacy of our grassroots movement," Angela Ferrell-Zabala, executive director of Moms Demand Action, said in an emailed statement.O.J.
