President Joe Biden today will announce that heâs taking executive actions to tighten gun restrictions, including stopping the proliferation of so-called ghost guns, according to administration officials.
Currently people can buy kits that contain the components and directions to put together firearms in as little as 30 minutes, one of the officials said, and use them to commit crimes. The weapons, known as ghost guns, canât be traced by law enforcement because they donât have serial numbers.
Biden has been under pressure to address gun violence since shootings last month at a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, and at spas in Georgia. Biden has urged lawmakers to pass gun-control measures that are widely opposed by Republicans.
