Weapons seized in “Operation Casper,” a six-month investigation by county, local and federal law enforcement in Westchester and Putnam counties are on display Jan. 27, 2022, at Westchester Police Academy in Valhalla, New York. More than 100 weapons, including rifles, handguns, “ghost guns” and high-capacity drum magazines were seized and 11 people were arrested facing state and federal charges.
(CNN)President Joe Biden is expected to announce new firearm regulation as soon as Monday meant to contain the use of privately made weapons, people familiar with the matter said, as he comes under pressure to take more steps to address gun violence.
The regulation on so-called “ghost guns” — unregulated, untraceable weapons made from kits — would address a critical gap in the government’s ability to track them.
Biden is also expected to name Steve Dettelbach, a former US attorney from Ohio, as his nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as soon as Monday, according to a US official. Biden’s previous nominee was forced to withdraw amid opposition in the Senate.
The moves come as gun violence and crime have ticked up in the United States, putting pressure on the White House to take action. Biden was expected to address new steps on guns in a public event Monday afternoon, according to people who have received invitations.
They are NOT enforcing the current laws on the books!
This is about control of the populace!
