All right, Y'all, what's up? This is Greg. We're at day 228 of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. A lot has happened in the space of domestic violence. We pulled together their first ever gender based violence roundtable discussion with domestic violence leaders and gun violence leaders to talk about solutions, challenges and the intersections on the areas of mass shootings. We actually pulled together 6 communities that were impacted by mass shootings from Highland Park to Brooklyn Homes Baltimore to learn more about the resources they need. And we officially launched the first ever gun violence Emergency Response system composed of 10 agencies with hundreds of employees to deploy and millions of dollars to actually deploy in resources in the wake of those tragedies. We also finished the first analysis of gun trafficking in 20 years with the ATF. And we found one big, big thing that the main source of guns trafficked are unlicensed private sellers, which is right on time because we finalize the rule of what it means to be engaged in the business of. Pulling guns. And we actually now have 20,000 additional people who are selling guns who now must be licensed and conduct background checks. That means we close the gun show loophole and the online sales loophole. And to top it all off, we actually went to Parkland alongside the Vice President to meet with families and see the tragedy first hand and announced the first ever National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center. So a lot has happened. More to come.

BIQ + NIBIN = solving gun crime faster! Why not have more systems in more places helping identify the number of guns/shooters at or near the crime scene? Let's work together to reduce gun violence!
