The announcement, expected Thursday, comes amid a spate of high-profile shootings and as some advocates have grown frustrated in the White House's delay.
President Joe Biden is expected to unveil a long-awaited package of executive actions to curb gun violence Thursday at the White House, according to four people familiar with the plan.
The announcement comes nearly three months into Biden’s term, a delay that had frustrated activists who wanted the president to fulfill a campaign pledge to take action on gun violence on his first day in office. That frustration only grew after a slate of mass shootings in Colorado, Georgia and California.
Biden will direct the administration to begin the process of requiring buyers of so-called ghost guns — homemade or makeshift firearms that lack serial numbers — to undergo background checks, according to three people who have spoken to the White House about the plans.
Other executive actions remain unclear. But advocates who have been in touch with the White House have speculated that the president could announce regulations on concealed assault-style firearms; prohibitions on firearm purchases for those convicted of domestic violence against their partners; alerts to law enforcement agencies when a potential buyer fails a background check; and federal guidance on home storage safety measures.

Biden can go pound sand. They can’t even do a vote recount without screwing the pooch - what are they gonna do, send out a possee of agents to search every home in the United States?
Correct. At the point of purchase it’s not a gun or the regulated part that’s defined as a gun. I don’t see how this passes legal scrutiny.
He has over-promised and is going to under-deliver in the eyes of the rabid hoplophobes. No one is going to be happy with this bumbling fool.
“Ghost gun” sounds even more scary than “assault weapon”.
The sheep will be fine with these new restrictions.
So everyone with a ghost gun...raise your hand??
My bet is that he has assurance that the USSC will uphold his EO when challenged in court. This is a supercharged issue and I simply can’t see him doing this without that assurance.
The boys in da hood poppin caps ain’t making their own guns.
Even more stupid as you point out. How do you regulate a chunk of metal that isn’t a firearm?
A block of aluminum is a GHOST GUN!
No ghost gun has been used in a mass murder ever.
Wrong.
You are correct.
Have you figured out a way to uncheat elections?
"...he [Biden] has assurance the USSC / SCOTUS will uphold his Executive Order..."
Thanks for the correction.
More criminal government. Remember who the real enemy is, folks and that is anyone who votes for the democrat party.
But an EO isn’t law even if SCOTUS shakes the magic legal water on it.
Yeah, just where has the NRA been???
Effect on gun violence by criminals: NONE.
