A prominent gun control advocacy group is urging President Joe Biden to act quickly on his proposed firearms legislation, after a week that saw 345 people killed by gun violence in the United States.
"He doesn't have all the time in the world. He needs to move forward with legislative changes today, now, because what's at stake is real human life," Kris Brown, president of gun control advocacy group Brady, said on CBSN Friday. Mr. Biden unveiled a set of six executive actions Thursday aimed at reducing gun violence. Those include measures directing the Justice Department to draft model "red flag" laws for states, as well as directing the DOJ to introduce a new, comprehensive report on firearms trafficking. The actions also target "ghost guns," which come in build-it-yourself kits that do not require a registration number or background check.More Related News
