President Biden listens as Steve Dettelbach, nominee for ATF director, speaks on measures to combat gun crime from the Rose Garden of the White House on Monday.President Biden on Monday announced the finalization of a federal rule to regulate so-called"ghost guns" more like regular guns, including requiring serial numbers and background checks for the purchase of kits to assemble guns privately.
Last year, about 20,000 suspected ghost guns were recovered by law enforcement during criminal investigations, according to the ATF, marking a tenfold increase in reported ghost guns compared to 2016. "As we emerge from this pandemic, we've got to recognize that many Americans still face fear and isolation – not because of a virus, but because of an epidemic of firearms violence," Dettelbach said."It's not a new problem, and it has many causes. That's why it's going to take an all hands on deck partnership approach to address that issue, and the ATF will be there."an assault weapons ban and universal background checks.
Biden showed off a kit sold to assemble a pistol to illustrate the ease of producing a functioning gun. Biden said ATF estimates being able to trace less than 1% of ghost guns. The president was introduced by Mia Tretta, the survivor of a shooting at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, Calif., who lost two classmates in the shooting and has worked with national gun rights groups as a gun safety activist.
