In a speech today held in Monterey Park, California, President Joe Biden touted his latest Executive order focused on illegal gun control.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

USA Today reports<\/a>\u00a0on that order\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

President Joe Biden<\/a> took executive action Tuesday that seeks to increase the number of background checks conducted during gun sales as the White House reverts to unilateral<\/a> ways to tackle gun control amid bleak prospects in Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order stops short of requiring universal background checks, which the president has asked Congress to pass<\/a> through legislation. His action instead directs Attorney General Merrick Garland to clarify what it means to be \u201cengaged in the business\u201d of selling firearms.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2023\/03\/14\/joe-biden-seeks-more-gun-background-checks-through-executive-action\/11467380002<\/a>\/<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Biden can be quoted as saying\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I\u2019m here on behalf of the American people to mourn with you, to pray with you, to let you now you are loved and not alone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m here with you today to act,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I\u2019m announcing another executive order that will accelerate and intensify this work to save more live, more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My executive order directs my Attorney General to take every lawful action possible to move us as close as we can to universal background checks without new legislation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am determined, once again, to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines<\/strong><\/p>\nPresident Joe Biden<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
