President Biden wouldn’t seem to need any lectures on the limits of executive power. So it makes sense to me that a planned executive order that seeks to stem gun violence is being done with all due diligence on its legality.<\/p>\n

Let’s all stay tuned for Biden’s announcement set for Thursday in which he will invoke an executive order that sets stricter regulations on something called “ghost guns” and implements more stringent background checks on those who want to purchase a firearm.<\/p>\n

Congress, to no one’s surprise, is dawdling on legislative remedies in the wake of recent Atlanta and Boulder massacres that left 20 people dead. Republicans are resisting any effort to tighten the rules for purchase. Democrats need 10 GOP senators to help them end an expected Republican filibuster.<\/p>\n

The Hill newspaper reports:\u00a0Advocacy groups, including Brady, Giffords, Everytown and parents of victims of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, have met with Domestic Policy Council Director\u00a0Susan Rice<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and Biden adviser\u00a0Cedric Richmond<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in recent weeks.<\/em><\/p>\n

Anti-gun violence advocates, including some who attended meetings with Biden officials,\u00a0told The Hill<\/a>\u00a0in February that, through executive order, Biden could eliminate ghost guns by defining what constitutes a gun.<\/em><\/p>\n

The term ghost guns refers to guns available for purchase, typically without a background check or a serial number, that are not fully finished or may have a missing part.<\/em><\/p>\n

Does any of this violate the Second Amendment constitutional provision that allows Americans to “keep and bear arms?” Hardly.<\/p>\n\n
