Understanding Obama's Executive Order
Obama's Executive Order aims to broaden the regulations surrounding firearms, creating new compliance challenges for businesses operating in the industry. It is crucial for firearms industry participants to stay up-to-date with these changes and ensure full compliance.
Key Highlights of the Executive Order
Under the Executive Order, several key provisions have been implemented, including:
- Expanded Background Checks: The order expands background check requirements for individuals purchasing firearms by closing existing loopholes.
- Regulation of "Ghost Guns": The order aims to regulate ghost guns, which are homemade firearms often lacking serial numbers, to ensure greater accountability and traceability.
- Investment in Community Violence Intervention Programs: The Executive Order directs federal agencies to invest in programs aimed at addressing community violence and preventing firearms-related incidents.
The Impact and Compliance Challenges
The Executive Order's broadened regulations have significant implications for the firearms industry, leading to several compliance challenges:
Increased Administrative Burden
Firearms industry businesses will need to allocate additional resources to ensure compliance with the expanded background check requirements and enhance internal processes to perform thorough checks on buyers.
Regulating "Ghost Guns"
The regulation of "ghost guns" poses unique challenges for businesses in the industry. Manufacturers will have to ensure compliance with serial number requirements, and retailers will need to update their protocols to verify the legality of firearms lacking identification.
Adapting to Community Violence Intervention Programs
With the introduced investment in community violence intervention programs, businesses may need to collaborate with local authorities and organizations to align with the objectives of these initiatives.
