From the official White House press release:

Now, President Biden and Vice President Harris are taking additional action on two emerging firearms threats: machinegun conversion devices and unserialized, 3D-printed firearms.
In this Executive Order, President Biden is establishing an Emerging Firearms Threats Task Force, consisting of leadership from key federal departments and agencies. President Biden is directing the Task Force to issue a report within 90 days that includes: an assessment of the threat posed by machinegun conversion devices and unserialized, 3D-printed firearms; an assessment of federal agencies’ operational and legal capacities to detect, intercept, and seize machinegun conversion devices and unserialized, 3D-printed firearms; and an interagency plan for combatting these emerging threats. The report will include any additional authorities or funding the federal agencies need from Congress in order to complete this work.

The executive order would also lead to the creation of guidance on school shooter drills:

… a summary of: existing research on active shooter drills and resources for school districts and institutions of higher education on how to create, implement, and evaluate evidence-informed active shooter drills; how to conduct effective and age- and developmentally-appropriate drills; how best to communicate with students, families, and educators about these drills; how to prevent students and educators from experiencing trauma or psychological distress associated with these drills; and how best to serve people with disabilities and those with language-related needs, including by ensuring compliance with federal civil rights laws, when designing and implementing school-based active shooter drills.

Biden refers to Senator JD Vance as "Secretary Vance," then regurgitates the debunked lie that he dismissed school shootings as "facts of life."

That's a disgusting lie from a man in cognitive decline (which Kamala covered up). pic.twitter.com/dsqhN71YTZ

Biden says, "I'm going to be very blunt: Secretary [sic] Vance of Ohio has called these shootings 'facts of life.' Who the hell do these people think they are?"

Vance was not dismissive of shootings as the AP first reported then deleted. Instead, the Ohio senator was lamenting how schools had become "soft targets" for the maladjusted.

Full quote from Vance:

“I don’t like that this is a fact of life. But if you are a psycho and you…

But if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets. And we have got to bolster security at our schools.”

Harris has said that she's opposed to stationing police officers in schools.
