Biden to unveil executive actions to tighten gun restrictions

President Joe Biden is set to unveil six executive actions aimed at curbing gun violence on Thursday, following a string of mass shootings that has put pressure on the administration to act upon the president’s long-held campaign promise to tackle gun control. The first action will direct the Department of Justice to propose a rule within 30 days to stop the proliferation of so-called “ghost guns,” or makeshift weapons that can be constructed at home or that lack a serial number, according to a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.  Moreover, administration officials emphasized that the executive actions were “initial steps” they would take to address gun violence and that officials would work on additional actions in the weeks ahead.
