We rate Joe Biden's campaign promise to require background checks for all gun sales as Stalled.Universal background check legislation is unlikely to pass the U.S. Senate as long as it is so closely divided by party.
During the last couple of decades, Democratic lawmakers have generally favored further gun regulation while Republican lawmakers have generally resisted it, said Kristin A. Goss, a Duke University professor of public policy and political science.
"But the alignment between position on guns and party affiliation has been strengthening over time," Goss said. "Thus, I think it's fair to say that universal background check legislation is unlikely to pass the U.S. Senate as long as it is so closely divided by party and the filibuster remains in place."
The community violence-intervention approach "works remarkably well and is not about guns or gun control," said David M. Kennedy, professor of criminal justice at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. "This administration for the first time in the country's history is making a substantial investment in that kind of violence prevention."
