Biden secured the Bi-Partisan Safer Communities Act in the summer of 2022, thanks to help from Sen John Cornyn (R-Texas), who worked with Democrats to get the legislation passed.
His ATF has put in place rules defining partially complete firearm frames as firearms, has put forward a rule requiring registration of AR-pistols with stabilizer braces, and has most recently proposed a rule to bring the county nearer to universal background checks.
