In another attack against our 2nd Amendment, the Biden administration announced new gun control laws that would ban “ghost guns” and kits to build your own guns, requiring manufacturers to include serial numbers on kits and run background checks on each person prior to the sale. Licensed firearm dealers will also be mandated to maintain records of their sales until their business closes, and are then required to report their list to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). In other words, an unconstitutional gun registry.
The Biden administration and Justice Department state this is part of their effort to “reduce gun deaths.” In reality, it is their weak on crime policies that release violent criminals and the open southern border that is allowing criminals to flow in unchecked that is causing ‘gun deaths.’ This is just another attack on law abiding gun owners and our 2nd Amendment rights, as a disarmed society cannot hope to fight back against a tyrannical government.
We need to fight against this and all other attempts at “gun control” (which really means “law abiding gun owner control”). There is nowhere in the Constitution that states the Federal Government has the authority to prevent citizens from building their own firearms. Our West Virginia Attorney General should coordinate with other gun friendly states to sue to prevent the requirement to maintain records, since that would be a de facto gun registry, and should investigate other aspects of the Biden regime’s anti-gun policies for violations of our rights.
As a veteran and someone who has been reloading for 30 years, I will always fight to protect and preserve our 2nd Amendment rights and freedoms under the Constitution as our Founders intended.
