President Biden is expected to announce on Thursday a series of executive actions aimed at curbing gun violence, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hill.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki appeared to indicate during a press briefing on Wednesday that Biden would address gun violence the following day, but she would not elaborate on what specific measures he would announce.

Politico first reported that the new actions will focus on tightening restrictions around so-called ghost guns. Democratic senators and advocacy groups have pushed Biden in recent weeks to address that particular aspect through executive action.


Biden has faced mounting pressure to act unilaterally to address gun violence in the wake of shootings in Atlanta and Boulder, Colo., last month. Both shootings reignited the debate around gun laws, but Biden dismayed advocates when he said during a press conference that he planned to prioritize infrastructure legislation.

It remains unclear whether there is a path for Congress to pass stricter gun laws or expanded background checks. But the White House has previously indicated Biden is open to using executive action to enact some changes.

Advocacy groups, including Brady, Giffords, Everytown and parents of victims of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, have met with Domestic Policy Council Director Susan Rice and Biden adviser Cedric Richmond in recent weeks.


Anti-gun violence advocates, including some who attended meetings with Biden officials, told The Hill in February that, through executive order, Biden could eliminate ghost guns by defining what constitutes a gun.

The term ghost guns refers to guns available for purchase, typically without a background check or a serial number, that are not fully finished or may have a missing part.

Through executive orders, Biden could also change or expand the definition of who is in the business of selling guns and prioritize funding for community violence prevention programs, according to advocates.

The two gun violence prevention bills the House passed last month don’t tackle the issue of ghost guns.

One would strengthen background checks by requiring a licensed or private seller to conduct a check before transferring a firearm and the other would close the so-called Charleston loophole by extending the time federal investigators have to conduct background checks.

Both bills face an uphill battle in the Senate and would need 60 votes to make it through the Senate, meaning 10 Republicans would have to cross the aisle to overcome a legislative filibuster.

Ghost guns are a red herring. They are not widespread.

And we have 3D printers and the software to make our own guns.

Prior to his cognitive decline, Joe seemed more than willing (even enthusiastic) about addressing the demographic reality of the problem. He's talking about "ghost guns" because it's an empty gesture.

What is a "ghost gun"? Do you need an Exorcist to get rid of them, you know, a Ghost Gun Buster.

This is why they are so desperate for control of the courts.

BREAKING: Biden's Gun Control Executive Orders Are Imminent.....

"Biden will direct the administration to begin the process of requiring buyers of so-called ghost guns — homemade or makeshift firearms that lack serial numbers — to undergo background checks, according to three people who have spoken to the White House about the plans. He is expected to be joined at the event by Attorney General Merrick Garland," POLITICO reported Wednesday. "Other executive actions remain unclear. But stakeholders have speculated that the president could announce regulations on concealed assault-style firearms; prohibitions on firearm purchases for those convicted of domestic violence against their partners; and federal guidance on home storage safety measures."
The executive orders come at a time when first time gun ownership is at an all time high, driven by minority and female purchasers.


National Shooting Sports Foundation Public Affairs Director Mark Oliva stated. "March’s background checks shows that President Biden’s demand to enact a ban on AR-15s and the push by Democrats to enact laws that would deny Americans their rights is out of step with Main Street, U.S.A. The firearm industry will continue to serve those law-abiding citizens who choose to protect themselves and their loved ones and, at the same time, pursue real solutions to keep firearms from criminals and other prohibited individuals to stop them from victimizing innocent lives. The challenge facing America today isn’t the law-abiding gun owner. It is crime. We urge our lawmakers to join us.".....snip~

Don't forget Biden also wants to change the Narrative, and deflect from his losing immigration and border stance. Also his Losing Tax Infrastructure bill and his failing in Foreign Affairs.


As well as from lying about Georgia's New Election Law.

I can see where keeping track of firearms no one knows actually exist in the first place makes perfect sense. "I am going to make a gun that the government can't track to keep it private but before I do I have to submit to a background check"

How can he do this with an EO? What the hell do we even have a congress for?

I suspect that Sleepy Joe handlers know he is not electable in 2024 so why not convince the feeble old man to go full blown leftists? They made him believe he will have a progressive legacy even greater than Obama and a disaster from Americans.
