Gun sales are surging amid the pandemic. Now, Trump’s Justice Department is asking Congress for more enforcement resources – including to confiscate guns from people who shouldn’t legally own them.
As gun sales surge during the coronavirus pandemic, the Justice Department is asking Congress for more enforcement resources — including to confiscate guns from people who shouldn’t legally be able to own them.
The department also asked for more resources and personnel for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to deal with firearm retrievals and other field work related to delayed denials, according to the two sources. The term “delayed denials” refers to situations where people buy weapons and take them home before the NICS system can flag those buyers as ineligible to own guns.
