Biden Signs Order on Gun Safety Measures

President Joe Biden signed an executive order aimed at curbing gun violence by targeting emerging gun technologies such as 3D-printed guns and machine-gun conversion devices. The order establishes a new task force to address these threats and mandates federal guidance to minimize trauma from active shooter drills in schools. Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized balancing Second Amendment rights with measures to prevent gun violence, calling for the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban and universal background checks. The initiative coincides with the first anniversary of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and seeks to bypass congressional gridlock. This action is part of the administration's broader efforts to enhance community safety and address the ongoing epidemic of gun violence in America.
