Republican Study Committee Memo Pushes Back on Biden Administration’s ‘Gun Grab’<\/a><\/p>\n

The Biden administration recently rolled out a series of gun control measures via\u00a0executive order,<\/a>\u00a0and Republicans are pushing back on the president\u2019s \u201cgun grab.\u201d Biden recently said that \u201cno amendment to the constitution is absolute,\u201d insinuating that reforms to the second amendment are necessary.<\/p>\n

The Republican Study Committee (RSC), a House GOP caucus currently led by Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), refutes the Biden administration\u2019s rhetoric on gun control. Banks distributed a memo on Wednesday, which was first shared with Townhall, dismantling Biden\u2019s gun control plans, from a ban on \u201cghost guns,\u201d to Red Flag laws. From the memo:<\/p>\n

\n

1. Biden’s actions on pistol braces would take millions of the most popular firearms accessories on the market and make them illegal and their owners felons by executive fiat.<\/p>\n

The ATF repeatedly told sport shooters and collectors everywhere these pistol braces were legal. The federal government must stop playing games with the Second Amendment rights of Americans, including the pro-gun community. Biden has a history of infringement going back to his days in the Senate.<\/p>\n

This betrayal of the American people could force\u00a0them to either spend $200 and place their gun on a registry, or risk becoming a felon and lose everything.<\/p>\n

Stripping Americans’ freedom to customize their firearms won’t affect how criminals use firearms in crimes.<\/p>\n

2. Homemade firearms, or “ghost guns,” are a long standing tradition in America. Our country was founded by free men with handcrafted firearms. The right to make weapons is the right to be free.<\/p>\n

3. Democrats\u2019 Red Flag Law proposals are an affront to the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments. No right should ever be stripped from free and law abiding Americans by an anonymous report with a low standard of evidence and no penalty for false reporting.<\/p>\n

No one should be able to nominate their neighbor for a 4:00 am flashbang and a no-knock from the local SWAT Team.<\/p>\n

The lack of transparent reporting, strong evidentiary standards, and penalties for false statements make Democrats\u2019 Red Flag Laws a nightmare for due process.<\/p>\n

4. It is disturbing that the Biden administration would nominate David Chipman to lead the ATF who not only made a career of advocating for the restriction of Americans’ liberties, but also was present and took part in the ATF\u2019s failed operation at \u00a0Waco in 1993.<\/p>\n

\u00a0We already know about his participation in Waco, but what don’t we know?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The president said it was “time for some action,” but promised that his series of executive edicts are just “initial steps” in implementing gun control measures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
