gun violence prevention

District 9 Councilmember John Courage joins "The Source" to discuss the second annual gun buyback event, his mayoral run, a survey on an abortion fund, and 'Project Marvel.'

One year after the Allen mall shooting, advocates against gun violence honored the eight lives lost and called for action on gun reforms.

More background checks will be required for gun purchases under a changing administrative rule under the Biden administration. The rule aims to close a loophole that has allowed tens of thousands of guns to be sold every year by unlicensed dealers. Stephanie Feldman, director of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, said this rule change will make the U.S. safer.

The Justice Department's new rule requires background checks for all gun sales, not just ones sold at gun stores. Attorney General Merrick Garland said it will save lives.
