AI Summary
This bill, the Gun Violence Reduction Resources Act of 2021, aims to address gun violence in the United States. It authorizes the Attorney General to hire 200 additional agents and investigators for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to help enforce existing gun laws. The bill cites findings that over 100,000 people are shot annually, many by individuals who should not have been able to purchase a gun, and that hundreds of law enforcement officers have lost their lives to gun violence. The goal of the additional ATF personnel is to enhance the enforcement of gun laws and reduce gun violence across the country.
