During the daily briefing at the White House Wednesday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed Biden will sign a series of gun control executive orders on Thursday. This from Katie Pavlich on townhall.com.
“I don’t have anything to preview, but I can convey [Biden] will have more to say tomorrow,” Psaki said.
Psaki’s confirmation comes after POLITICO first reported the news and what Biden is expected to include in the orders.
“Biden will direct the administration to begin the process of requiring buyers of so-called ghost guns — homemade or makeshift firearms that lack serial numbers — to undergo background checks, according to three people who have spoken to the White House about the plans.”
“Other executive actions remain unclear. But stakeholders have speculated that [Biden] could announce regulations on concealed assault-style firearms; prohibitions on firearm purchases for those convicted of domestic violence against their partners; and federal guidance on home storage safety measures.”
“It is clear that firearm sales in March were driven by gun control calls from politicians to ban entire classes of firearms and enact onerous gun laws. Americans continue to vote with their wallets when it comes to lawful firearm ownership. Over 2 million chose to exercise their right to keep and bear arms last month,” National Shooting Sports Foundation Public Affairs Director Mark Oliva stated.
“March’s background checks shows that Biden’s demand to enact a ban on AR-15s and the push by Democrats to enact laws that would deny Americans their rights is out of step with Main Street, U.S.A. The firearm industry will continue to serve those law-abiding citizens who choose to protect themselves and their loved ones and, at the same time, pursue real solutions to keep firearms from criminals and other prohibited individuals to stop them from victimizing innocent lives. The challenge facing America today isn’t the law-abiding gun owner. It is crime. We urge our lawmakers to join us.”
What say you Def-Con News readers? Any Executive Order by a democrat in 2021 will certainly speak ‘infringement,’ right? I personally don’t feel existentially frightened by “ghost gun background checks,” and “prohibitions on firearm purchases for those convicted of domestic violence against their partners” but I believe words such as “concealed assault-style firearms” and “home storage safety measures” could very well turn into serious infringement.
