Congressional Republicans are planning to introduce a new law to get rid of a new rule from President Biden’s team about background checks for buying guns. The Department of Justice said the rule will make it so people have to do federal background checks for buying guns at shows, online, and from individuals. The rule is being linked to a law passed after a bad shooting at a school in Texas. Some Republican Senators from states like Texas and North Carolina are upset about the rule and want to take it away. They say President Biden is making the rule even though most of it doesn’t have to do with the law from Congress.
The Republican Senators are getting ready to put forward a resolution to get rid of the gun rule. They think the Biden team is not following the rules and that the new rule will take away guns from people who follow the law. The Senators believe that the Biden team is not being honest about why they made this rule. They think they are trying to trick people into supporting it. A member of the House of Representatives from Georgia is also working on a similar bill.

Gun rights groups are saying that this rule will make it hard for people to sell guns privately without breaking the law. They think the government is trying to make it seem like regular people are doing something wrong when selling guns. The National Rifle Association is one of the groups speaking out against the rule. The Department of Justice did not give a response when asked for comment on the situation.
This news shows a clash between Republicans and the Biden administration over gun laws. Republicans believe that the new rule goes against the rights of gun owners and that it is not being done in a fair way. It is important to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens to own firearms. It is good to see elected officials working to make sure laws are fair and follow the rules set by Congress.
