President Joe Biden has announced a set of 13 actions his Administration has taken or will soon take to reduce gun violence by maximizing the benefits of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA).
Biden announced these measures in an op-ed published in USA Today to mark the first anniversary of the Buffalo mass shooting.
The White House, in partnership with the Department Of Justice, will convene state and local law enforcement leaders to solicit their collaboration on BSCA implementation priorities, such as: 1) increasing state and local law enforcement agencies' response rates to enhanced background check inquiries when someone under age 21 tries to purchase a gun; and 2) ensuring that arrest and adjudication records include additional documentation of dating relationships to keep more guns out of the hands of domestic abusers.
