Summary: Biden Group is recommending redefining 'gun trafficking'.
Currently: It is illegal to sell a gun to a person that you "know or have reasonable cause to believe" is a felon.
Biden Group's Proposal: It is illegal to sell a gun to a felon.
This means that they want to shift the burden of proof onto private gun sellers. If you sell a gun to a person who lies about their status as a felon, you would be held criminally liable.
Goodbye, private sales...
