He faces an uphill battle in passing&nbsp;new gun restrictions through an evenly divided Senate. He indicated support for breaking down the 60-vote threshold for ending the filibuster\u2014a legislative tactic embraced by gun-control advocates. He said he wants filibuster reform to require senators to physically talk to block bills<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;If there&#8217;s complete lockdown and chaos as a result of the filibuster, then we&#8217;ll&nbsp;have to go beyond what I&#8217;m talking about,&#8221; Biden said.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is the second time in a week Biden has promised to institute new gun-control policies either by legislation or executive action.

The House has not scheduled a vote on an &#8220;assault weapons&#8221; ban and did not pass one in the previous Congress. The&nbsp;two House&nbsp;bills focused on expanding background checks&nbsp;do not have enough support in the Senate to reach 50 votes, let alone 60.
