In the wake of several deadly mass shootings, President Biden announced a list of executive orders last Thursday aimed at reducing gun-related violence, and called for Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Biden's orders included better regulation of "ghost guns"—homemade weapons that lack traceable serial numbers—and stabilizing braces that transform pistols into more lethal, short-barreled rifles. They also called for increased support for violence-intervention programs, and model "red flag" legislation to make it easier to get guns away from people who pose a danger to themselves or others.
