Biden crackdown on 'rogue' gun dealers unlikely to stop violent crime
Fox News
President Biden's pledged crackdown on “rogue” gun dealers is unlikely to put a dent in gun crime, only a tiny minority of which is committed with weapons bought from licensed dealers, according to federal statistics.
The "zero-tolerance" policy targets federally licensed firearms dealers who "willfully" transfer a weapon to someone prohibited from owning one or ignore a tracing request from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The ATF would seek to revoke the dealer's license after the first offense, a senior White House official said. Biden, standing next to Attorney General Merrick Garland, told Americans on Wednesday that "enough rogue gun dealers" – whom he described as "merchants of death" – "feel like they can get away with selling guns to people who aren't legally allowed to own them."More Related News
