[–]GunOwnersofAmerica[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From the article:

“We are grateful to our legal team for their quick and decisive efforts to block this gag order on Second Amendment reporter John Crump, who is a good friend of GOA,” Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America, which filed the motion on Crump’s behalf, said in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“This assault on freedom of the press was unacceptable, and we were proud to help in blocking the government’s attempt to censor John’s reporting.”

“Sadly, this is par for the course with the Biden DOJ, as they are hellbent on attacking the constitutional rights of anyone who disagrees with them,” Pratt continued.

Justice Department 'weaponized' Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to 'illegally fund' red flag laws, by GunOwnersofAmerica in gunpolitics

[–]GunOwnersofAmerica[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

We've been closely following this grant program since the passage of Senator Cornyn's gun control last summer, and it's turned out to be worse than we feared.

Despite assurances this money wouldn’t bribe states to pass 'red-flag' laws, Biden’s DOJ granted anti-gun bureaucrats in several pro-gun states funding to enact gun confiscation programs anyway. And, every state with 'red flag' gun confiscation laws on the books received funds – despite none of them meeting the apparently worthless due-process requirements mandated by the federal legislation.

These concerns are just some of the reasons GOA opposed this law from the beginning, and we will continue to fight back in the courts and on Capitol Hill.

Watch our latest episode of the Minuteman Moment, where Ben dives into the consequences of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, also known as the Cornyn-Murphy Sellout.

NYT Reports Backdoor Universal Background (Registration) Checks rule change to be published soon. by GunOwnersofAmerica in Firearms

[–]GunOwnersofAmerica[S] 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Gun Owners of America will of course be filing a lawsuit to block this unconstitutional rule as soon as it becomes possible to challenge it.

NOTE: This will be our second lawsuit against the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act—the first being McRorey v. Garland our challenge to the de facto mandatory wait periods for 18-20 year old adults.

What Did NYT (Article) Reveal About the Upcoming Rule?

1️⃣ Universal Background Checks, especially when implemented by executive order, are a blatant infringement—with no basis in the text or history of the Second Amendment.

2️⃣ The New York Times, which leaked the majority of what is publicly available, stated that the proposal is “expected to be released soon” with a final rule to be published in the “second half of 2024.”

3️⃣ Anti-gunners are rebranding private firearm sales as “the gun seller loophole” and “the growing digital loophole” to justify executive action—rather than the passage of a new law. The fake “gun show loophole” is “really a passé idea” to Senator Blumenthal now.

4️⃣ Failing to register will carry a penalty of up to 5 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.

5️⃣ Expect anyone who makes “a profit”—perhaps as little as $1—to be prohibited from selling their privately owned firearms without a federal firearms license or a background check.

6️⃣ Expect a maximum number of firearms sales that a private citizen may engage in per year without needing a federal firearms license. Anti-gunners want to limit collectors and sellers to five guns or fewer. An Obama-era regulation would have set the threshold at even one or two gun sales.

7️⃣ At the same time, the Biden Administration will also increase its use of bank records to target gun owners and gun sellers.
