President Joe Biden has announced a “zero-tolerance” policy for gun dealers including new funding for police and communities. 

The announcement comes in response to rising crime rates in the US by taking strategic steps towards gun violence. 

New gun safety measures will redirect some of the nation's three-hundred and fifty billion dollar COVID-19 funds to address crime. 

Biden believes easy access to guns in the US is the source of gun violence and is seeking more transparency on gun data and better coordination among states.
