, which was signed by President Biden in June 2022 and was the nation’s most significant gun-control legislation in 30 years. The law expanded who was legally required to conduct background checks on gun buyers.ATF, which is responsible for regulating the sales and licensing of firearms in the United States, was then tasked with developing rules that will make clear to gun owners how officials will implement and enforce the new gun laws.
According to the proposed rules, anyone who sells a firearm through mail order or at flea markets, gun shows and online must register online and conduct the necessary background checks. “This proposed rule implements Congress’s mandate to expand the definition of who must obtain a license and conduct a background check before selling firearms,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.. It’s hard to know how many people are selling firearms without licenses, but ATF officials estimate that if the rules go into effect and people follow the law, it could increase the number of license-holders by tens or even hundreds of thousands.
