JPFAZ Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Cliff notes: Keeping guns out of dangerous hands Increase the number of background checks by ensuring that all background checks required by law are conducted before firearm purchases, moving the U.S. as close to universal background checks as possible without additional legislation. Improve public awareness and increase appropriate use of extreme risk protection (“red flag”) orders and safe storage of firearms. Address the loss or theft of firearms during shipping. Holding the gun industry accountable Provide the public and policymakers with more information regarding federally licensed firearms dealers who are violating the law. Use the Department of Defense’s acquisition of firearms to further firearm and public safety practices. Additional steps to make our communities safer and support communities impacted by gun violence Help catch shooters by accelerating federal law enforcement’s reporting of ballistics data. Accelerate and intensify implementation of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) Improve federal support for gun violence survivors, victims and survivors’ families, first responders to gun violence, and communities affected by gun violence. Advance congressional efforts to prevent the proliferation of firearms undetectable by metal detectors.
