The United States is set to close the 'gun show loophole' and implement stricter background checks for gun purchases. This decision comes as part of efforts to enhance gun control measures and address concerns surrounding gun violence in the country.
The 'gun show loophole' refers to the exemption that allows individuals to purchase firearms at gun shows without undergoing a background check. This loophole has been a point of contention among gun control advocates who argue that it enables individuals to acquire guns without proper screening.
