As an integral component of the initiative, the White House is urging states to take specific actions, including the establishment of state offices dedicated to preventing gun violence, enhancing support for survivors, and investing in evidence-informed solutions. These solutions encompass community violence interventions, the creation of Crime Gun Intelligence Centers, and the implementation of extreme risk protection orders.

To reinforce responsible gun ownership, the administration encourages states to mandate safe storage of firearms and reporting lost or stolen firearms. The Department of Justice has published model legislation guiding states on safe firearm storage, aiding them in developing requirements for secure gun storage, including in vehicles.
The Safer States Initiative also calls for strengthened background checks, proposing universal background checks legislation and addressing barriers that hinder enhanced background checks. President Biden’s administration advocates for increased accountability within the gun industry, emphasizing the need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Additionally, firearm-specific liability laws are proposed to ensure that victims of gun violence have the opportunity for legal recourse.

Whatfinger’s response: The Biden Admin has zero care for actual gun violence as they have our borders wide open and people are killed daily. Unfortunately it is by the wrong people. Biden and crew only care when a White cop kills a black. Nothing more. Or when a homeowner or citizen dares to defend themselves from attack. Biden and his Merry Marxists hate that people can defend themselves. All actions they take are to disarm legal gun owners while letting criminals commit as many crimes as they want. – Mal Antoni
