Bipartisan Safer Communities Act Signed into Law

President Biden signs the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (S 2551), the first major federal gun safety law in nearly 30 years. Key provisions: closes the 'boyfriend loophole' (extends firearm prohibitions to dating partners with domestic violence convictions), enhanced background checks for 18–20 year old firearm purchases (up to 10-day review), tightened FFL dealer licensing, $750M for school safety and mental health programs, and clarification of who must register as a federally licensed dealer.
