President Biden Announces New Executive Actions to Combat Gun Violence
In a bid to address the growing gun violence crisis, President Biden, alongside Vice President Harris, is set to sign a series of executive orders that focus on reducing firearm threats and improving safety protocols. One of the key initiatives targets controversial machine-gun conversion devices and 3D-printed firearms, which have raised significant safety concerns. Additionally, the administration is aiming to reform active shooter drills in schools, seeking to make these exercises less traumatic for students. Biden's new guidelines will emphasize the mental health aspects of such drills and aim to provide a safer environment for children. The White House also highlighted the success of enhanced background checks, which have blocked numerous gun sales to potential threats, including youth and domestic abusers. These actions reflect the administration's ongoing commitment to enhancing public safety and mitigating the impacts of gun violence across the nation.
