And not just a new gun control czar or similar, according to Breitbart, but one that will coordinate between the White House, the Community Justice Action Fund and Everytown for Gun Safety, the latter two organizations of which are dedicated to violating the civil rights of gun owners throughout the country. (Well, to be honest, the White House has also dedicated itself to violating civil rights as well, but all of them not just the Second Amendment). The CJAF and Everytown will now have the imprimatur of the federal government and probably now have special sanction to work with federal agencies.
Anyway, the article reports (emphasis in original):
Shannon Watts, a Mike Bloomberg affiliate who founded Moms Demand Action, praised the creation of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, saying, “If this announcement is, in fact, the creation of a single point of leadership on gun violence in the administration, it’s a very big deal for the movement.”
She added, “A governmental focal point dedicated to creating a framework for overseeing national policy, research and resources would be more than symbolic — it would be a significant turning point for the movement.”
On August 31, 2023, Breitbart News reported that Biden’s ATF was using executive rule to expand background checks to the point of nearly being universal.
In a press release that accompanied the announcement of the proposed rule, Attorney General Merrick Garland said:
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was passed by Congress to reduce gun violence, including by expanding the background checks that keep guns out of the hands of criminals. This proposed rule implements Congress’s mandate to expand the definition of who must obtain a license and conduct a background check before selling firearms.
The ATF’s rule will redefine language so that there is not simply a category of Americans buying and selling guns from and to one another — as they have done since 1791 — and a category of Federal Firearms Licensed holders (FFLs) selling guns at retail. Rather, every seller will have to prove he is not trying to make a profit, or he will be required to ensure the purchaser undergoes a background check before taking possession of the firearm.

ReplyDelete9/11/2001 is a good
LOL. But you do raise a good point: how to prove how much you paid for a firearm 5, 10, 20 years down the road.
DeleteHmmmph. The Supreme Court would beg to differ.
ReplyDeleteThe question is whether these organizations become so entwined with the government that they, in effect, become agents of the federal government and can be sued for violating Constitutional rights.
