He is expected to be joined at the event by Attorney General Merrick Garland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than 100 Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/mikethompson.house.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/chairman-thompson-vice-chairs-neguse-demings-and-perlmutter-lead-letter\">signed a letter last week demanding that Biden take executive action<\/a> on so-called \u201cassault weapons\u201d that are \u201cconcealable,\u201d citing a gun control law authored to regulate the sale of machine guns, initially, in the mid-1930s, and updated in later decades to keep up with technology. The group argued that the measure allows Biden to move on banning such firearms without the approval or input of Congress, which is so evenly split, it is unlikely any assault weapons ban would pass.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, Politico notes, is expected to push back on the possibility of executive action beyond merely regulating \u201cghost guns,\u201d and tossing the difficult subject of gun control back to House and Senate Democrats, particularly measures expanding federal background checks and curbing the sale of both assault weapons and \u201chigh-capacity magazines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn response to criticism from gun control advocacy groups that his administration has moved too slowly on executive actions, the Biden White House has responded that legislative fixes are a priority,\u201d Politico noted. \u201cBiden is likely to make the same point on Thursday, in addition to expressing support for bills to expand background checks and close the so-called Charleston loophole that allows a gun to be transferred from licensed gun dealers before a completed background check. He also is likely to push for legislation to keep guns away from people believed to be a danger to themselves or others, as well as a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gun rights groups are already planning on challenging any new executive order on firearms, and some governors, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) Tuesday signed into law&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/legtext\/55leg\/1r\/bills\/hb2111h.htm\">HB 2111<\/a>, which would prevent state and local governments from implementing any new gun control laws coming out of Washington, D.C. Those who support the bill say law-abiding gun owners are protected from potential laws that would be a violation of the Second Amendment., are moving to limit whether Biden\u2019s executive actions have force within their states.<\/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.
