• The Justice Department will issue laws to help stop the proliferation of “ghost guns.” 
• The Justice Department will issue a proposed rule to determine when a device marketed as a stabilizing brace effectively turns a pistol into a short-barreled rifle subject to the requirements of the National Firearms Act. 
• The Justice Department will publish model “red flag” legislation for states.
• The Justice Department will issue an annual report on firearms trafficking.
• The President will nominate David Chipman to serve as Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.  
• The Biden-Harris administration would invest more in evidence-based community violence interventions.
