Biden Admin Closes "Gun Show Loophole"
--------------------------------------

The Biden administration finalized a rule closing the "gun show
loophole." Vendors who sell firearms online, at gun shows and through
private purchases will now be required to conduct background checks on
buyers. The change is expected to affect over 20,000 people who
currently deal in unlicensed firearms sales. They will also be required
to register with the government.
