How Biden could tighten gun control without Congress
Fox News
Experts say President Biden could use executive authority to restrict background checks and regulatory authority to slow down arms sales.
Domestic policy adviser Susan Rice and White House public engagement director Cedric Richmond met virtually with gun control groups Wednesday, reiterating their commitment to "common sense steps." Officials familiar with the meeting said Biden was prepared to use any avenue, including executive action, to take these steps. But Americans are divided on the matter -- 57% support stricter gun laws, a four-year low, according to a November Gallup poll. Though Democrats enjoy a razor-thin advantage in the Senate, new gun legislation would be hard pressed to clear the 60-vote filibuster hurdle.More Related News
