President Biden will announce new executive action on gun control on Thursday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki indicated.
Psaki, during her press briefing Wednesday, declined to go into details on what the action would entail but said the president would have "more to say" tomorrow.
Earlier Wednesday, Politico first reported that an executive order is coming – after three recent mass shootings in Boulder, Colorado, Atlanta, Georgia, and Orange, California.

That's the obvious step, isn't it??
Can't/Won't get the guns...make it next to impossible to buy ammunition for them.

House Democrats Urge Biden to Regulate Concealable Assault-Style Firearms
“The recent tragedy in Boulder, Colorado, where 10 people including a police officer were killed is one in a string of deadly incidents involving this style of weapon,” lawmakers wrote
Lawmakers want the Ruger AR-556 pistol, the weapon used by the shooter, to be subject to the same restrictions as short-barrel rifles. The National Firearms Act regulates short-barrel rifles differently from other rifles since they can be more easily concealed, a former special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives explained to the Washington Post.
Following a deadly mass shooting in Boulder, Colo., House Democrats are calling on President Joe Biden to “take Executive Action to regulate concealable assault-style rifles,” the type of weapon used by the shooter. Four Democratic representatives — Gun Violence Prevention Task Force Chairman Mike Thompson (D-Calif.) and Vice Chairs Joe Neguse (D-Colo.), Val B. Demings (D-Fla.), and Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.) — authored a letter to Biden that was then signed by 101 House colleagues.
“For too long, gun manufacturers in order to circumvent the National Firearms Act have designed and marketed concealable AR-15 style firearms which fire rifle rounds,” the lawmakers wrote. “Concealable assault-style firearms that fire rifle rounds pose an unreasonable threat to our communities and should be fully regulated under the National Firearms Act consistent with the intent and history of the law.”
