These guns typically do not require background checks.<\/p>\n Stabilizing braces are accessories that allow users to fire pistols much like rifles, without being subject to the same regulations as a rifle.<\/p>\n "Red flag" laws give family members or law enforcement agencies the opportunity to ask state courts to temporarily block firearms from people deemed to present a danger to themselves or others.<\/p>\n The Justice Department has not issued a report on firearms trafficking since 2000.<\/p>\n Biden is expected to nominate David Chipman for ATF director. Chipman is a senior policy advisor at gun control advocacy group Giffords and served as a special agent at ATF for 25 years<\/p>\n Read more of CNBC's politics coverage:<\/p>\n Subscribe to CNBC on YouTube.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nCNBC Politics<\/h2>\n
