President Joe Biden signed an executive order Tuesday designed to increase background checks in a visit to a Los Angeles suburb that was the site of a mass shooting this year.
The executive order directs Attorney General Merrick Garland to clarify the statutory definition of who is "engaged in the business" of selling firearms...
The order also urges members of Biden's Cabinet to promote effective use of extreme risk protection orders...
"Let's be clear, none of this absolves Congress from the responsibility of acting, to pass universal background checks, eliminate gun manufacturers' immunity from liability," Biden said. 'I'm determined once again to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines."
