The Tennessee Bar Association shared the following legal news blog on September 30, 2024.

President Joe Biden signed an executive order last week aimed at limiting access to machine gun conversion devices and 3D printed guns, as well as improving active-shooter drills in schools. Memphis Mayor Paul Young attended the event, writing on Instagram, "This bold action will help save lives and protect our neighborhoods from the devastating effects of gun violence."

The order establishes an interagency Emerging Firearms Threats Task Force to conduct a risk assessment of the threats posed by machine gun conversion devices and 3D-printed guns, and report back within 90 days on ways to ways to stop the proliferation of such devices.

The order also directs the executive branch to research how active-shooter drills may cause trauma to students and educators, with the goal of helping schools conduct drills that maximize effectiveness and limit harm. That information is to be published within 110 days. The Daily Memphian has more.
