Biden turns to limited executive actions on gun control with Congress at a standstill

Quote:

President Joe Biden on Thursday harnessed the powers of the presidency to advance a half-dozen executive actions on gun control, but they fall far short of the ambitious goals he outlined as a presidential candidate as the real fight still looms on Capitol Hill. The executive actions are aimed at taking certain guns out of the hands of criminals and pouring resources into community violence prevention, and a senior administration official cautioned that Thursday's announcement is just an initial set of actions that the new President is taking. But their limited scope once again underscores Biden's broader challenge as he faces an evenly split US Senate, which he challenged in his remarks from the White House Rose Garden.

The actions as far as I am aware are:

• a crackdown on self-assembled "ghost guns"
• a rule change to classify pistols with stabilising braces as short-barreled rifles
• promises to provide more data on firearms trafficking
• Investing in community violence intervention programs

This is a limited set of actions (Biden's full plan to address gun violence is still on his website), but my question to Americans is this: Is this announcement likely to affect you greatly?
