Georgia School Shooting Triggers New Gun Technology Order

In response to the tragic school shooting in Georgia, President Joe Biden has enacted a stringent new order targeting gun technologies. This legislation is designed to restrict access to firearms and to enhance active shooter drills in schools nationwide.

Furthermore, a task force will investigate the risks of conversion devices that transform semi-automatic weapons into fully automatic firearms and assess the challenges posed by undetectable 3D-printed guns.

  • The arrests span across 45 states, affecting students as young as four.
