ALERT: Universal BG Check EO Coming

From the GOA and from Breitbart news: President Biden is set to announce a new rule going into effect. Universal background checks will be going into effect for ALL firearms transactions. Any firearm that changes hands will soon require a background check, per a soon to be issued executive order from Biden.

How can Biden do this? A unique reading of changes made to 18 USC 921 that were made by the “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act” when Biden signed it into law on June 25, 2022. Yes, the word “bipartisan” is actually in the law’s title. The Republicans sold gun owners down the river. The law’s sponsors were none other than Florida’s Marco Rubio and Rick Scott.

Here is what the law did:

Section 12002 of the BCSA amends a subparagraph of the GCA definition of “engaged in the business” as it pertains to federally licensed firearms dealers, by striking the language “with the principal objective of livelihood and profit,” and replacing it with “to predominantly earn a profit.” As amended, the definition at
18 U.S.C. §921(a)(21)(C) reads as follows:
[“Engaged in the business,”] as applied to a dealer in firearms, as defined in section 921(a)(11)(A), [means] a person who devotes time, attention, and labor to dealing in firearms as a regular course of trade or business to predominantly earn a profit with the principal objective of livelihood and profit through the repetitive purchase and resale of firearms, but such term shall not include a person who makes occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or for a hobby, or who sells all or part of his collection of firearms.

(text that was added is in bold, text eliminated is struck through)

By choosing to interpret it in a way that is most restrictive, this EO will direct the ATF to consider anyone who sells a firearm for more than they bought it for as being an unlicensed dealer. In one fell swoop, they have virtually eliminated all private sales. This also explains why the ATF has such a hard on for kitchen table dealers as of late. Read the entire thing here. (pdf warning)

An article released by the New York Times today is reporting that, “The regulations required to put the new law into effect — expected to be released soon — would require anyone who earns a profit from selling firearms to obtain a federal license and conduct background checks. Previously, dealers were required to join the federal system only if they derived their chief livelihood from selling weapons. Failing to register carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines.”

This is huge. In one fell swoop, the Biden administration has enacted the most sweeping change to gun control law in decades. The rules will be backed up by a renewed push to prosecute businesses that refuse to register by accessing bank records, storage unit leases, and other expenses associated with running an off-the-books gun business.

Make no mistake- if this is in fact the case, we are looking at a national firearms registry, and the only real purpose for registration is confiscation. It’s plain that the left is looking to completely circumvent Congress and will simply use executive orders and the administrative rule making process to create whatever laws and regulations that they wish, and in this case they were helped out with the help of Republican Senators.

I have said it plenty of times before- Just because the Democrats are your enemy doesn’t make Republicans your friend. Again and again, we see that Republicans only SAY that they are pro Second Amendment during election time, but then sell us down the river once they get our votes. Now they have figured out that the way to stay in power is to do what you are told. All Republicans care about is staying in power, and the writing is on the wall- play music to the tune dictated by the Left, or they will make sure you are gone. So Republicans are selling us out.

Things are going to get a lot worse before they get even worse. The year 2024 is going to be a cast iron bitch.

“Male Subject” Shoots Car After Driver Honks

An individual described in a news release as a “male subject” was reportedly one of several people crossing Grove Street when the victim honked their horn at the group. The subject then allegedly brandished a gun and fired a single shot into the vehicle’s trunk as it left to the north.

To the police: If you are looking for him and want the public to give you leads, perhaps a more accurate and precise description is in order…Never mind, a picture speaks 1,000 words.

Ask and Receive

Many have asked for a video copy of Sharpton’s boneheaded quote. Here is a link to it. I can’t find it on a platform that will allow me to embed it, so follow the link to see it yourself.

One day, our children’s children will read American history, and can you imagine our reading that James Madison or Thomas Jefferson tried to overthrow the government so they could stay in power?

The best part? MSNBC though his quote was so pithy and poignant that they decided to highlight it on their feed:

I’m so glad that MSNBC brought in a subject matter expert for this segment. So I have a question for Mr. Sharpton. Who wrote the following phrase?

whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive… it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

was it:

  1. Thomas Jefferson
  2. Donald Trump
  3. James Madison
  4. 1 and 3, above

No cheating.

Discourse

Like I have said before, they don’t want to have a discussion, they just want to dictate terms. That’s why replies are blocked:

So I will place my answer here: No. Your move.

They Don’t Want Discussion

Try to have a serious discussion on gun rights, and the left either shuts it down, or turns it into childish sexual innuendos:

More on Super Safety

So a question was raised, asking if this super safety is similar to the Forced Reset Trigger that the ATF already decided was a machine gun. The ATF has deliberately reworded the statute in order to make it more to their advantage:

On March 25th, 2022 the ATF raided Rare Breed Trigger’s vendor and inhibited them from shipping triggers. Currently, the ATF is trying to classify these triggers themselves as a machine gun. The ATF issued an open letter to Federal Firearms Licensees on March 22 of this year. If you don’t have the time or inclination the read the letter about Forced Reset Triggers, the important part is below:

“ATF’s examination found that some FRT devices allow a firearm to automatically expel more than one shot with a single, continuous pull of the trigger. For this reason, ATF has concluded that FRTs that function in this way are a combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon into a machine gun, and hence, ATF has classified these devices as a ‘machine gun’ as defined by the NFA and GCA.”

“Accordingly, ATF’s position is that any FRT that allows a firearm to automatically expel more than one shot with a single, continuous pull of the trigger is a ‘machine gun,’ and is accordingly subject to the GCA prohibitions regarding the possession, transfer, and transport of machine guns. They are also subject to registration, transfer, taxation, and possession restrictions under the NFA.”

You will note that ATF even states that Congress defined a machine gun as:

Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger

The ATF has engaged in some linguistic gymnastics to say:

FRT devices allow a firearm to automatically expel more than one shot with a single, continuous pull of the trigger.

Note that this isn’t what the statute says. Why is this important?

The FRT, Bump stocks, and the Super Safety all cause the operator of the weapon to hold their finger in position so that the recoil of the weapon causes the shooter’s finger to pull the trigger very quickly.

  • In the case of the Bump stock, the entire weapon is moving.
  • With the FRT, a spring is forcing the trigger to reset by using the bolt to push the trigger forward
  • The Super Safety is using the motion of the bolt to engage and disengage the safety, which on the AR will reset the trigger. The rate of fire is about 400 rounds per minute. Seems fast until you realize that the cyclic rate of the M-16 and the M-249 are right about 800 rounds per minute.

The ATF is going to go after any device that causes rapid fire. The way that an AR’s fire control system works means that it is fairly easy to modify for rapid fire that comes in about half the rate of FA. The ATF would declare all AR’s as machine guns if they thought they could get away with it.

They Want to Kill You

The Root is a black news and opinion website. It bills itself as “Black News and Black Views with a Whole Lotta Attitude.” Do you want to know what black people are saying? Read this article, titled “Whiteness is a pandemic.“

White supremacy is a virus that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect. Which means the only way to stop it is to locate it, isolate it, extract it, and kill it.

You say, “but he is talking about white supremacy, not white people.” Nope. Read his definition:

gentrification, to red-lining, to racial profiling, to gerrymandering, to voter oppression, to mass incarceration, to the war on drugs, to the subprime mortgage crisis, to the vast disparities in both COVID deaths and who receives COVID vaccinations, to how the men and women who stormed the capitol just went home and had dinner with their families afterward.

  • Gentrification is another word for “improving slums and making them livable.”
  • Racial profiling? Guilty. When half of all violent crime is committed by 1/8 of the population, that’s where you concentrate your law enforcement efforts.
  • COVID is racist?
  • The jab was free to anyone who wanted it. How does blacks not getting the jab have anything to do with white people?
  • .How many black people were killed at the Capitol? Zero.

He clearly wants whites to be the scapegoat for all that ails the black race. Including for the death of his mother. Was she murdered? He says that she was. No, she died of lung cancer cancer, but he says that, if his mother had been white, she would have lived. He comes right out and says it, that if his mother had been a white woman, she would have gotten better medical care and would still be alive. There is no way to reason with or talk to someone who is that biased and racist. He wants you dead because you are white, and are thus responsible for every bad thing that happens. To anyone, but especially to him, and his mother- who received a full ride scholarship to Carnegie Mellon University, thanks to white people and affirmative action.

He isn’t some unknown hack writer. Noe, Damon Young writes for the Washington Post, GQ, and the New York Times. He is a well known liberal member of the MSM. And he hates you.

Don’t you understand? There are people that have declared war on you, and you are at war, whether or not you know it, or want to be. He bitches about black people being killed by whites, but ignores the fact that 88% of black homicide victims are killed by other black people. (In fact, 49% of ALL homicide victims are killed by black people, but that is a discussion for another day.)
