President Biden plans to sign new executive actions aimed at reducing gun violence (msn.com)
Of course! Since they are infringing upon one specific enumerated right, they may as well infringe on two at the same time. Shoot, why not infringe on a bunch more at the same time. Why not throw people in jail if it is rumored they are thinking of buying a gun. Presume they are guilty and give them “due process” by an opportunity in court to prove they were not going to buy a gun to use to murder babies in hospital nurseries.
Also note this item from the same article:
In 2024, the gun background check system helped block more than 4,600 gun sales to people convicted of misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence, according to the report. To date, the Department of Justice has charged more than 500 defendants with violating provisions under the law, and the expanded background check provision has kept guns out of the hands of nearly 900 young people who shouldn’t have them, federal officials said.
Notice the metric they use for the usefulness of the law. It is not a reduction in the crime rate. It is the number of people prevented from purchasing a gun from a FFL.
Their object is not making the general population safer. It is preventing the general population from purchasing firearms.
These people have zero respect for individual rights of the people.
Prepare appropriately.
For the trifecta, infringe on the 4A as well, like Giuliani.
Ya, well we allowed the communist to do background checks in the first place.
Where else is it supposed to go?
No matter the excuses or perceived necessity of the law? It’s always about power and control. And absolutely zero to do with stopping crime/criminals, AKA, communist fellow travelers.
When I worked at the gun shop I used to tell the cops. Why not let criminals buy guns here?
They’re just shopping for them through the local cartels. Which probably has a better selection than we do.
They always agreed, think it was ironically funny. Also knowing how much political cover the cartels enjoyed.
Asking permission for a human right is a violation of them. It’s that simple.
And the first law of human nature is self-defense.
We should not be asking Obama/Biden/Harris for anything. Their communists, whatever they have? They stole it.
“Notice the metric they use for the usefulness of the law. It is not a reduction in the crime rate. It is the number of people prevented from purchasing a gun from a FFL.”
This violates number nine of Robert Peel’s Nine Principles of Policing:
To recognize always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them.
We have a psychological field of study called Criminology, the study of bad people. We do not combine that with Hagiography, the study of good people, and wonder why we have so many bad people nowadays.
But then, why shouldn’t modern American government and police theory get yet another thing completely backwards.
