On Tuesday, the White House announced that President Joe Biden is set to sign an executive order that would expand background checks to more firearm sales by expanding the statutory definition of a firearms dealer. The order is part of Biden’s efforts to reduce gun violence in the country, however, many feel that he is targeting legal gun-owning American citizens, and not getting at the root cause of the country’s issue with crime.
The executive order aims to bring the U.S. “as close to universal background checks as possible” without additional legislation.
The order also directs the attorney general to develop and implement a plan to prevent former federally licensed firearms dealers, whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered, from continuing to engage in the business of dealing in firearms. In addition, it will improve public awareness and increase the use of extreme protection, like “red flag” laws and safe storage of firearms.
Furthermore, the order will hold the gun industry “accountable” by providing the public and policymakers with “more information regarding federally licensed firearms dealers who are violating the law.” It directs the attorney general to publicly release ATF records from the inspection of firearms dealers cited for violation of federal firearm laws. The order also requires the Department of Defense to develop and implement principles to further firearm and public safety practices through DOD acquisition of firearms.
The order also seeks to catch shooters by accelerating federal law enforcement’s reporting of ballistics data. Under the order, all federal law enforcement agencies will be directed to issue “rigorous requirements regarding NIBIN data submission and use of this tool.” Moreover, Biden’s order would help advance congressional efforts to prevent the proliferation of firearms undetectable by metal detectors.
The president is also expected to encourage the Federal Trade Commission to issue a public report analyzing how gun manufacturers market firearms to minors. The order will accelerate and intensify the implementation of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act; improve federal support for gun violence survivors, victims, and survivors’ families, first responders to gun violence, and communities affected by gun violence. A senior administration official said that Biden will continue to call on Congress to ban “assault weapons” and “high-capacity magazines.”
Anything anyone does to restrict the 2A is Unconstitutional. Period!
The office of the President is to be respected, but the man himself is useless. He wants to be king and make laws bypassing Congress. My weapons were lost during an unfortunate boating accident, but I will resist his evil ways. May his unlawful ways catch up to him sooner than later. Keep your powder dry!
Executive order’s were provided by the founder’s for times of crisis. In bidens occupation, everyday is a time of crisis.
Joe Biden and the anti-gun loving morons think we are idiots. They want open borders which let criminals into our country. Then they want to defund the police and they want to take away our guns and make it harder to own guns. We the people know better than to let that happen. The 2nd Amendment is our constitutional right to defend ourselves even from a tyrannical government with firearms. PERIOD!!!
Biden is once again by-passing Congress to impose a partisan politically bigoted ” law” . Clearly , it is aimed at law abiding citizens , doing nothing to prevent illegal activity by criminals nor citizens alike .
Incremental steps towards gun confiscation carefully crafted to avoid problems under the Bill of Rights. The courts would otherwise toss them out. The states under Federalism rule!
Ironically he is somewhat correct if he thinks that the ATF or FBI,NOT the gun dealers, sometimes negligently allow bad people to fall thru the cracks. And in Illinois, CA, and New York they don’t even enforce their own vigorous gun laws.
Sure. He wants to punish the honest gun dealers,gun manufacture companies or tax paying citizens who use guns safely. Gun confiscation. They first law enforced by dictators. As LENIN said. “One man with a gun can control 100 without.”
The Socialists HATE the Constitution. It limits their ability to control us.
I estimate 500 million guns owned by at least one third of the population. What government entity like the IRS or private like Antifa could be utilized, or crazy enough, to try and confiscate guns from honest citizens and attempt to do it without a warrant? Suicide anyone?
The police unfortunately don’t have enough man power to deal with crime let alone guns. And they would refuse.
The military? Not trained for gun confiscation. Plus military Captains who lead troops into battle (Extremely unlikely even to be ordered by our current politically orientated Generals,) in this country, would never issue an order to shoot fellow Americans and the troops would refuse the order anyway.
Joey. Tough toenails. Thank GOD for a free America
A couple good things in there, regarding law enforcement. However most of it is the same crap that has been tried and failed before.
It also is probably unconstitutional to do these things via an executive order. That power belongs to the legislature not the executive branch.

There is only ONE Reason for this, or Any Government to “OUTLAW” the private ownership of FIREARMS! One, ONE ONLY! They FEAR That the “common person” will find out and begin to Fully Understand the Dishonesty, Theft, and out&out Control (THEY) have and Are Trying to KEEP PEOPLE UNDER! ARM UP, DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE COMMUNIST MOTHERFUCKERS! RECIST!
So PoopyPants Biden wants to violate the Constitution of the United States of America and the rights of America . Ego Mania as well as Dementia run deep in him . But make no mistake , should he be allowed to do this and get away with doing it , this will be but only the first of our Constitutional Rights he and his cronies on the left will try to remove from us .
This hatred of our Constitution began with Obama who hated it because it kept him from seeking a third term and destroying America turning it into a Communist dictatorship . His Dictatorship !
Fuck commie biden. Who the hell does that turd think he is. He is not our king.
Gun snatching laws are not about safety, they are all about seizing total control over Americans. The left doesn’t care in the least about you and me.
FJB!
Biden is not happy killing 100,000 Americans a year from fentanyl, now he wants us to be at the mercy of the out-of-control criminal element he has created with his un-constitutional agenda.
The left is trying their best to do away with our right to own a gun, without their permission. If they ever tried to take our weapons they would find out that the second war for independence that’s been talked about for several years now, is going to start. If we want our constitutional republic to survive we must purge every left wing democrat from our governments, from county level to federal. If we don’t this country will be destroyed by them.
There he goes again, grabbing at straws. I see absolutely nothing in this executive order that does a single thing that they’re not already able to do, except to become more dictatorial. I shouldn’t have to give up my right to bear arms because Dementia Joe doesn’t like guns. Lord knows that men with guns keep him protected on a daily basis. I forgot. Rules for thee but not for me!!!
Marbury vs Madison Supreme Court decision – any law repugnant to the Constitution is Null and Void it is invalid and not a law – concerning 2nd Amendment – also stated The 2nd Amendment Shall Not Be Infringed
Gee nowhere does the dumb pos say he is going after CRIMINALS, DRUG DEALERS, GANGS, DRUG CARTELS, ILLEGALS, CRAZY PEOPLE, VIOLENT PEOPLE!
I hope the Republicans in the House Have the SCOTUS look into this DICTATOR WANNABE OVERREACH OF THE CONSTITUTION! FJB
Biden is playing a game. He cannot get this done and he knows it. He just wants to use this to get votes from people who are dumb enough to believe that criminals won’t have guns either. Criminals will just automatically give up their guns since they follow the law.
This banana republic dictator needs to go. By whatever means necessary.
I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE TO SHOVE A TREE TRUNK UP BIDENS ASS WITH NO VASOLINE.
