The Treasury will revise rules for spending the $1.9 T Covid relief money to enforce this, support police, and to fund a variety of social efforts (summer jobs, targeted support for favored minorities, etc) that are said to be related to "gun" violence.The Biden administration on Wednesday announced "zero tolerance" for gun dealers who willfullyviolate the law, as part of the administration's strategy to combat what the Department of Justice calls a "staggering" surge in violent crime.
The rollout will be highlighted by closely watched remarks by Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland Wednesday afternoon.
The "zero tolerance" policy targets federally licensed firearms dealers who "willfully" transfer a weapon to someone prohibited from owning one or ignore a tracing request from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The ATF would seek to revoke the dealer's license after the first offense, a senior White House official said.
The Department of Justice announced Tuesday that it is launching "strike forces" to target gun traffickers and to provide more transparency around the enforcement of federally licensed firearms dealer policies.

The DOJ "strike force" teams are meant to target illegal gun trafficking in five cities – New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay area and Washington, D.C. – all locales where authorities have said many guns used in crimes originate elsewhere.
