Time and time again, we have seen Congress fail to pass the sweeping reform needed to drastically cut down violence in communities across the country. March For Our Lives is committed to working with the Biden-Harris Administration to ensure campaign promises are enacted including executive action and funding to reduce gun violence in America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur generation is not interested in thoughts and prayers; we look forward to the President implementing foundational gun violence prevention policies,\u201d Markham added.<\/p>\n<p>Among the executive orders the organization demands from Biden within his first 100 days:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Near-universal background checks, requiring anyone who sells 5 or more guns per year to run a background check on all gun sales.<\/li>\n<li>Mandate and enforce license revocation for gun manufacturers and dealers who break the law.<\/li>\n<li>Closing the boyfriend loophole to prevent those convicted of domestic abuse from purchasing firearms.<\/li>\n<li>Reversal of President Trump\u2019s dangerous change to the definition of \u201cfugitive from justice.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Hold the gun industry accountable by directing the IRS to open an investigation into the tax-exempt nonprofit status of the NRA, and direct the FEC to investigate whether the NRA has broken campaign finance laws.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/this-is-embarrassing-march-for-our-lives-co-founder-shreds-david-hogg-for-pillow-grift-company\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018This Is Embarrassing\u2019: March For Our Lives Co-Founder Shreds David Hogg For \u2018Pillow Grift\u2019 Company<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
