How the A.T.F., Key to Bidenâs Gun Plan, Became an N.R.A. âWhipping Boyâ The federal agency tasked with enforcing gun laws has been hamstrung for years by the firearms lobby. Now, the presidentâs plan to rein in gun violence hinges on the A.T.F.âs success. Edward Stely walks through an outdoor container filled with thousands of paper gun records which are part of the National Tracing Center at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Martinsburg, W.V.Credit.Erin Schaff/The New York Times May 2, 2021, 5:38 p.m. ET MARTINSBURG, W.Va. â If there was one moment that summed up the current state of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, it was when the floor at the agencyâs gun-tracing center caved in a couple of years ago under the weight of paper. ....
Congress could start a push for universal background check legislation as soon as this month. Democrats control the House, Senate, and White House, making passage more likely than in past years. But it will be a tougher fight for passage in the Senate, where Republicans can still filibuster. A small troop of House Democrats marched across the Capitol on November 20, 2019, to GOP leader Mitch McConnell s office. They demanded the passage of HR 8, otherwise known as the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, joined by fellow Democrats, the bill s lead sponsor Rep. Mike Thompson of California, anti-gun violence activist Rep. Lucy McBath of Georgia, and several others carried a large sign demanding then-Majority Leader McConnell take up the bill. The measure had passed the House that February only to languish for more than 260 days with no action from the Senate. ....
Leaders of prominent gun control groups said Wednesday they expect to see substantive action from President Biden on the issue in the near future after a meeting with White House officials. ....
Dems Seek $300 Million in Taxpayer Dollars for CDC Gun Research Democrats this week introduced bicameral bills to Congress that aim to give the Centers for Disease Control big bucks to support research into guns. The Gun Violence Prevention Research Act of 2021 would appropriate $50 million to the CDC each fiscal year from 2022 through 2027, for the purpose of conducting or supporting research on firearms safety or gun violence prevention. The legislation was introduced jointly by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., who were not coy about what laws the research would be used as justification to enact. We know of the commonsense solutions like the need for better and more robust background checks and the need to renew the assault weapons ban, but we must also seek other solutions,” said Maloney in a statement. And we do that by studying gun violence like the public health crisis it is. ....
Bill Would End Out of State Gun Purchases Democrats on Capitol Hill last week introduced a measure that would end direct legal gun sales to out of state residents. H.R. 647 would prohibit a Federal Firearms Licensee from transferring a shotgun or a rifle to a person who they feel does not reside in the same state. Handguns already are subject to a state resident only sales restriction, which is a holdover from the days prior to federal instant background checks. The proposal to move long arm sales under the same 1960s guideline comes from a Colorado Congressman who argues it is needed. ....
