Biden announced a number of administrative measures to control guns.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Washington, April 8 (Reporter Xu Jianmei, Deng Xianlai) On the 8th, US President Biden announced a series of administrative measures to strengthen gun control and reduce gun violence.

　　Biden made a speech in the White House Rose Garden that day, saying that gun violence in the United States is taking lives every day and leaving lasting scars on the community. "Gun violence is an epidemic in the United States and embarrasses the United States internationally."

　　These administrative measures include: the Ministry of Justice issued a proposed regulation to stop the proliferation of "ghost guns" within 30 days; Issue separate regulations on strengthening the control of pistol "stable bracket" within 60 days; Publish the "Red Flag" icon warning sample regulations that are convenient for States to refer to within 60 days; The Ministry of Justice will release the first report on gun smuggling in the United States in 21 years; Federal agencies will increase funding for community projects to reduce gun violence in cities by non-custodial means.

　　"Ghost gun" is a gun that is self-processed and assembled by purchasing parts, and there is no traceable commercial serial number; The "stable bracket" can turn the pistol into a more lethal and accurate rifle, and it is not subject to the legal constraints of supervising rifles; The "Red Flag" law allows local courts to prevent people who are suicidal or may pose a danger to others from obtaining guns for a period of time at the request of relatives and friends of the parties concerned or local law enforcement departments.

　　Biden said that he hopes to treat the parts of the "ghost gun" as guns in accordance with the gun management law, and that merchants will be equipped with serial numbers when selling parts and conduct background checks on buyers. He said that in some states that have enacted "Red Flag" laws, the number of people who commit suicide with guns has decreased.

　　Biden also nominated David chipman as the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of the United States. chipman, who advocated gun control, has worked in the Bureau for 25 years.

　　According to American media reports, in 2020, nearly 20,000 people in the United States died of gun violence, and another 24,000 people committed suicide with guns. Gunmen have become worse this year, and major shootings have occurred in Georgia, Colorado and California recently.

　　On March 11th, the House of Representatives controlled by the Democratic Party of the United States passed two bills to strengthen the background investigation of gun purchase, but they were blocked in the Senate. Analysts believe that due to the long-term sharp opposition between American society and the democratic and Republican parties on the issue of gun control, it is uncertain whether the new gun control measures introduced by the Biden administration can be effectively implemented.
