The Biden administration is finalizing plans to expand background check requirements in effort to close the 'gun show loophole.'
The Biden administration announced Thursday final plans to expand requirements to perform background checks for those who buy firearms at gun shows or online, aiming to effectively close what gun control advocates have long referred to as the 'gun show loophole.' The new federal rules will not create new law but will expand the definition of licensed firearms dealers.
Purchasing online ads, record keeping, and operating credit card systems are some indicators that an unlicensed seller would now need to be licensed as a gun dealer, the officials said.While President Joe Biden supports background checks for all gun sales and transfers, Thursday's announcement does not require 'universal' background checks. Instead, officials said the move expands the definition of a firearm dealer, which as a result, will expand requirements.
