US President Joe Biden has made a statement outside the White House on new measures to tackle gun crime in the country.
The Biden administration unveiled several executive actions including issuing proposed regulations on ‘ghost guns’, which are build-at-home gun kits which need no background checks or registration.
The actions by Biden are limited and will still likely face legal opposition from gun rights advocates, who view any efforts to limit access as a violation of the Second Amendment.
The changes come in the wake of shootings in Georgia and Colorado and focus not just on trying to limit mass shootings, but also at reducing other forms of gun violence, like suicides and domestic violence, Biden said.
