Politico is reporting that the Biden administration is ready to release its plan to curb gun violence. Biden’s executive action is expected to include background checks for owners of “Ghost-guns” ,  regulation on “Concealed Assault-style Firearms”, and firearm prohibitions on owning firearms for those who are convicted of domestic violence against their partners. Some speculate that Biden could also announce a director for the ATF(Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) with his executive action.

From Politico: 

President Joe Biden is expected to unveil a long-awaited package of executive actions to curb gun violence Thursday at the White House, according to four people familiar with the plan.

The announcement comes nearly three months into Biden’s term in office, a delay that had frustrated activists who wanted the president to fulfill a campaign pledge to take action on gun violence on his first day in office. That frustration only grew after a slate of mass shootings in Colorado, Georgia and California.

Biden will direct the administration to begin the process of requiring buyers of so-called ghost guns — homemade or makeshift firearms that lack serial numbers — to undergo background checks, according to three people who have spoken to the White House about the plans. He is expected to be joined at the event by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Other executive actions remain unclear. But stakeholders have speculated that the president could announce regulations on concealed assault-style firearms; prohibitions on firearm purchases for those convicted of domestic violence against their partners; and federal guidance on home storage safety measures.

After this report came out the stock market saw a massive shift in prices for firearm manufacturing companies such as Smith & Wesson and Ruger. The companies saw their stock prices skyrocket only for them to soon return to where they were before the report came out.

In the past few weeks the Democrats have pushed a litany of reforms aimed at taking on the 2nd Amendment. 100 House Democrats wrote a letter to Biden just last week urging the President to act on “Concealed Assault-style Firearms”.
