Guns

Roll Call -  The Biden administration announced new actions Thursday on a range of gun-related issues, including a new executive order in part aimed at giving schools guidance about how to train for an active shooter. The executive order directs Biden administration officials to publish information for K-12 schools and higher education institutions, including resources on how to create, implement and evaluate “evidence-informed active shooter drills,” according to a White House fact sheet. The information should also include how to conduct effective and age-appropriate drills, and how to best communicate with families and students about the exercises, the White House fact sheet said.

The executive order also establishes a task force on emerging firearm threats, directing it to produce a report that assesses the dangers posed by machine gun conversion devices and 3D-printed firearms that do not have a serial number, according to the fact sheet.
