            BIDEN ADMINISTRATION GUN SAFETY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

  (Ms. PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate President 
Biden's historic gun safety accomplishments.
  The Biden administration recently closed a loophole that let 
unlicensed dealers sell guns without a background check. This action 
clarifies who qualifies as a gun dealer, and it gives the Bureau of 
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives the ability to hold gun 
sellers accountable to the American people.
  This is just one example of President Biden's commitment to tackling 
gun violence. The White House also created the first Office of Gun 
Violence Prevention to investigate how to reduce gun violence and 
create safer communities.
  Each death from gun violence is one too many. Congress needs to step 
up and do its part to stop preventable gun violence.
