New Biden-Harris Executive Order on Gun Control!

in News

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the National Rifle Association (NRA) are speaking out after the White House’s latest executive order on gun control, which was announced earlier yesterday.

Both organizations heavily criticized the move, describing it as a misguided attempt to clamp down on gun rights and a distraction from the real issues.

Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of GOA, took direct aim at the timing of the announcement.

“The White House just made a huge mistake by reminding gun owners of Kamala’s radical, gun-grabbing agenda, with the election a mere month or so away,” said Pratt in a press release obtained by GunsAmerica.

“Kamala Harris just claimed responsibility for each infringement—every banned gun and part—by ATF in the last four years, so we are pushing back and calling her out,” he added.

Pratt’s comments highlight the frustration many 2A advocates feel about the policies being pursued by the Biden-Harris Administration. It’s pretty clear to all of us that the administration is overstepping by using federal agencies like the ATF to enforce unconstitutional gun control measures.

Aidan Johnston, GOA’s Director of Federal Affairs, also weighed in, pointing to the danger he sees in weaponizing background checks.

“Shockingly, Kamala Harris is weaponizing the ‘enhanced background check’ for young adults into a tool for gun confiscation,” he observed.

“If an existing gun owner goes to purchase a new firearm legally, the government may ‘red flag’ them instead and seize their currently owned firearms in the process,” he continued. “The chilling effect this could have on new gun purchases is unimaginable.” 

The executive order contains several provisions that have triggered alarm.

Most Notable Executive Orders:

  • The use of “red flag” laws to disarm gun buyers during an “enhanced background check”
  • $135 million in federal funding offered to states as an incentive to pass and enforce “red-flag” gun confiscation laws and expand “enhanced background” checks
  • Pressure on states to modify privacy laws, specifically to allow the federal government access to minors’ records in order to extend waiting periods for adults under 21 attempting to purchase firearms
  • The creation of a task force to target homemade firearms, 3D-printed guns, and machine gun conversion devices
  • A push for Congress to pass a federal ban on so-called “assault weapons” and bump stocks, along with mandatory “safe-storage” laws and expanded background checks to support the ATF’s gun owner registry

No doubt that these measures represent a serious threat to the 2A and are part of a broader plan to restrict gun ownership in the U.S.

In addition to the GOA’s response, Randy Kozuch, Executive Director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), also issued a statement.

Kozuch took a broader view of the political context behind the executive order, stating that the Biden-Harris Administration is using the announcement to deflect attention from other, more pressing problems.

“This Executive Order is just one more attempt by the Biden-Harris Administration to deflect attention from their soft-on-crime policies that have emboldened criminals in our country,” said Kozuch.

“The orders are notably heavy on election-year rhetoric and light on substance,” he continued. “It’s no secret that Americans don’t feel safe under the Biden-Harris Administration, as evidenced by the record number of firearms being purchased for the defense of self and family.”

Kozuch’s comments reflect growing concerns about the current administration’s handling of crime and public safety. With violent crime rates on the rise in many urban areas, critics argue that focusing on restricting gun rights ignores the root causes of these issues.

Both GOA and NRA are pointing out the obvious. This executive order is part of a larger effort to curtail Second Amendment rights.

To some extent, we’ve all been on high alert as the administration continues to push for tighter gun control regulations.

The $135 million in funding attached to this executive order is particularly alarming, as it incentivizes states to adopt policies that will lead to more gun confiscations.

Additionally, the expansion of background checks and the push for Congress to pass “assault weapons” bans are a direct attack on gun ownership and individual rights.

GOA and NRA have promised to keep up the fight, with both organizations encouraging their members and supporters to stay informed and engaged in the ongoing battle.

As the 2024 election looms, it’s no time to sit on the sidelines. Get out there. Spread the word.

    It’s amazing the conceit of gun violence, mine must be CO category, because Ted Kennedy killed more people with his car than all of my firearms past present and hopefully future have combined.
    Firearms have no more cognitive ability than a car can tell if the driver is drunk, big difference is there are now self driving cars, but I have yet to hear of a self shooting firearm with targeting abilities.

    The only “scourge” in America is the democrat party and their destructive and rights-violating policies…..

  • Patrick September 28, 2024, 7:15 pm

    1 in 5 Americans. Where did Kamaliar get that statistic? That’s a blatant lie.

    “Glocks switches off the street” Thats with the criminal elements. Not law abiding citizens.

    It’s never been about stopping the violence,…it’s disarming the American public. A good start, target the perpetrators of violence and remove them from society. Enforce the laws already on the books, and convict with great prejudice those that willfully break them.

    Hello and God bless you.
    It’s interesting that the executive branch of the government is bribing states to pass red flag gun laws (a $ 135m million dollar fund as an incentive… please). WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! The freedoms of the Constitution are slowly being rewritten. The next time you play fight with someone and shoot water at them auth a water gun, you’ll get shot, arrested, and detained, under suspicion. But if you car jack and assault someone, you’ll be back on the streets in 2 hours. Great administration. I pray for this country, it’s leaders, and it’s want to make laws to enforce someone’s feelings.

    Notice not one word in the executive order about punishing criminals it only punishes legal gun owners!!

  • Rock September 27, 2024, 12:21 pm

    All we have to do is open our eyes to the actions of all these alphabet agencies. Huge intrusions on the rights of ALL citizens in America and at all levels. Just look at what the feds (DOJ) recently did to the mayor of NYC because he dared to speak out about “Buyden’s” immigration policy. Then there is rhe ATF and Brian Malinowski. Many more we never hear about. Consider what is happening to the recent FBI whistleblowers. America is becoming a “thugocracy”. Democrats are literally destroying this country. People had better wake up.

    The term “gun violence” is an another way DEMOCOMMUNIST’s continue to CON brainwashed the gullible SHEEP There is no such thing as “gun violence”. .It is violence caused by HUMANS using INANIMATE OBJECTS (guns), to do harm, just as people use BATS, KNIVES, CARS, etc. we don’t hear these objects being referred by the same names as firearms by “politicians”.
    Just another ploy to disarm LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS , so the democommunist’s criminal “friends” (and “military aged”, illegal alien that are being flown in, and put up in hotels in major cities, over this country, cared for, and waiting for “their orders”, will not be harmed when they come to rob , RAPE or murder YOU and also when the democommunists decide to use them to take over this country. (time to wake up city dwellers)
    An ARMED law abiding populace are considered citizens, a DISARMED populace are merely controlled “subjects” that can be used, abused, taxed and regulated to dearth, or “eliminated” whenever the “RULING CLASS” decides to make it so, and that day is quickly coming my friends!

    These two clowns(Joe Biden and Kamala Harris) are a couple of idiots. These two numbnuts are also the ones paying bail for the blm who were burning down our cities. Also just an fyi, that account is still open, so if you start burning down a city, call Kamala and Joe, they will get you out.

  • Richard Ladner September 27, 2024, 9:13 am

    When the US Government can with a 100% guarantee that every criminal will abide by these new laws, then I’ll be willing to contemplate the situation.
    I do remember standing in line at the sheriff’s office with felons waiting to get our concealed carry permits

  • Cornfed September 27, 2024, 8:10 am

    “Assault weapons” is a hilarious term. If you assault someone with a rock, that rock is an assault weapon. ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is an assualt weapon if it’s used to assault someone. Good thing I only own DEFENCE WEAPONS. 🙂

    • paul I'll call you what I want/1st Amendment September 27, 2024, 9:47 am

      yea a bag of fries or a soda can fall into the catagory of “assault weapons” so will fast food get banned………

  • paul I'll call you what I want/1st Amendment September 27, 2024, 7:34 am

    I’m sure the sneaky bastards have it written to exploit unforeseen issues and the order might nullify current 2A court wins!
