The White House is to close a loophole that allows thousands of firearms to be sold at gun shows and on the internet without federal background checks.
It will classify around 23,000 vendors as licensed firearms dealers, making their gun sales subject to the checks.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said: "If you sell guns predominantly to earn a profit, you must be licensed."
