    they gonna do to 80% and braces what Trump did to Bump Stocks. And GOA is going to sue them again. Hopefully this time the court will issue an injunction immediately

    Yep, Trump set this precedent. It was inevitable that a future Dem would follow suit.

    I have no faith in the courts stopping any of it.

    FACT SHEET: Biden-Harris Administration Announces Initial Actions to Address the Gun Violence Public Health Epidemic | The White House


    Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing six initial actions to address the gun violence public health epidemic. The recent high-profile mass shootings in Boulder – taking the lives of 10 individuals – and Atlanta – taking the lives of eight individuals, including six Asian American women – underscored the relentlessness of this epidemic. Gun violence takes lives and leaves a lasting legacy of trauma in communities every single day in this country, even when it is not on the nightly news. In fact, cities across the country are in the midst of a historic spike in homicides, violence that disproportionately impacts Black and brown Americans. The President is committed to taking action to reduce all forms of gun violence – community violence, mass shootings, domestic violence, and suicide by firearm.

    President Biden is reiterating his call for Congress to pass legislation to reduce gun violence. Last month, a bipartisan coalition in the House passed two bills to close loopholes in the gun background check system. Congress should close those loopholes and go further, including by closing “boyfriend” and stalking loopholes that currently allow people found by the courts to be abusers to possess firearms, banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines, repealing gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability, and investing in evidence-based community violence interventions. Congress should also pass an appropriate national “red flag” law, as well as legislation incentivizing states to pass “red flag” laws of their own.

    But this Administration will not wait for Congress to act to take its own steps – fully within the Administration’s authority and the Second Amendment – to save lives. Today, the Administration is announcing the following six initial actions:

    The Justice Department, within 30 days, will issue a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of “ghost guns.” We are experiencing a growing problem: criminals are buying kits containing nearly all of the components and directions for finishing a firearm within as little as 30 minutes and using these firearms to commit crimes. When these firearms turn up at crime scenes, they often cannot be traced by law enforcement due to the lack of a serial number. The Justice Department will issue a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of these firearms.

    The Justice Department, within 60 days, will issue a proposed rule to make clear when a device marketed as a stabilizing brace effectively turns a pistol into a short-barreled rifle subject to the requirements of the National Firearms Act. The alleged shooter in the Boulder tragedy last month appears to have used a pistol with an arm brace, which can make a firearm more stable and accurate while still being concealable.

    The Justice Department, within 60 days, will publish model “red flag” legislation for states. Red flag laws allow family members or law enforcement to petition for a court order temporarily barring people in crisis from accessing firearms if they present a danger to themselves or others. The President urges Congress to pass an appropriate national “red flag” law, as well as legislation incentivizing states to pass “red flag” laws of their own. In the interim, the Justice Department’s published model legislation will make it easier for states that want to adopt red flag laws to do so.

    The Administration is investing in evidence-based community violence interventions. Community violence interventions are proven strategies for reducing gun violence in urban communities through tools other than incarceration. Because cities across the country are experiencing a historic spike in homicides, the Biden-Harris Administration is taking a number of steps to prioritize investment in community violence interventions.

    • The American Jobs Plan proposes a $5 billion investment over eight years to support community violence intervention programs. A key part of community violence intervention strategies is to help connect individuals to job training and job opportunities.
    • The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is organizing a webinar and toolkit to educate states on how they can use Medicaid to reimburse certain community violence intervention programs, like Hospital-Based Violence Interventions.
    • Five federal agencies are making changes to 26 different programs to direct vital support to community violence intervention programs as quickly as possible. These changes mean we can start increasing investments in community violence interventions as we wait on Congress to appropriate additional funds. Read more about these agency actions here.
    The Justice Department will issue an annual report on firearms trafficking. In 2000, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) issued a report summarizing information regarding its investigations into firearms trafficking, which is one way firearms are diverted into the illegal market where they can easily end up in the hands of dangerous individuals. Since the report’s publication, states, local, and federal policymakers have relied on its data to better thwart the common channels of firearms trafficking. But there is good reason to believe that firearms trafficking channels have changed since 2000, for example due to the emergence of online sales and proliferation of “ghost guns.” The Justice Department will issue a new, comprehensive report on firearms trafficking and annual updates necessary to give policymakers the information they need to help address firearms trafficking today.

    The President will nominate David Chipman to serve as Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. ATF is the key agency enforcing our gun laws, and it needs a confirmed director in order to do the job to the best of its ability. But ATF has not had a confirmed director since 2015. Chipman served at ATF for 25 years and now works to advance commonsense gun safety laws.
    I am sure drug dealers, pimps, gangs, etc. currently involved in ultra-lucrative activities are going to turn in their guns and other weapons and go sign up for Slo Jo's minimum wage plan job. NOT It will however be a great excuse to piss a bunch of money into more "shovel ready jobs" and reward some big donor handsomely.

    Any gun owner that would comply with such un-Constitutional laws being proposed, deserves to have his guns confiscated!

    Lol. Lots of gun owners knowingly voted for this shit.

    Just look at the liberal trolls flooding this site lately. Even some so-called 'conservatives' with lower IQs fell for the russian collusion hoax and voted for gun bans this time around.

    Here's a bigger question. So if they do pass more restrictive gun laws, are you going to comply, or what?

    If you cannot order it online, buy it at Academy, Cabelas, etc., you have little choice. Most folks will be forced to comply, as they do not have ability to make raw forgings and do their own 80%. They also have no ability to make a brace, so they will be forced to comply on that to.

    Need a lawsuit to reach SCOTUS. And then get the overarching ruling Thomas, Scalia and Gorsuch have been seeking to issue. Kavanaugh and Barrett will join them.

    You think so, huh? You have more faith than I do.
    It is not about faith, we are currently dying a death by a thousand cuts SCOTUS is one avenue to making it stop, since voting does not seem to work

    Sounds to me like you are the one eating up the propaganda Wheaties for breakfast, Fuddaphobe.


    Are you a FUD? You sure seem butthurt.


    I know & have met several FUDS over the years. All have the same mentality.... " I don't know why you need 30 rnds, my .243 shoots just fine with 4 rounds." Most dont own pistols either. If they do its a revolver.
    There is no propaganda in my statement... nothing but truth. You'd be suprised the folks you know personally, that have a gun or two ... & you would think they would be PRO 2A.... until they open their mouth & spout stupid shit.

    Go back and read what those justices have put in writing about 2A. Will be encouraging to you.

    They had been refusing to hear 2A cases, I suspect, because they did not trust Roberts. Now they don't need Roberts vote.
    I've heard that theory and I hope it's correct but I'll have to believe it when I see it. Every one of these justices except for Thomas and Alito (mostly) has signed off on some very stupid things.

    Allow me to re-phrase - Will not have an impact on reducing the use of guns by criminals doing criminal shit.

    This has never been the commie's goal to begin with. The commies love criminals, want to give them more rights, want to coddle them, want them to roam the streets wild due to a fucked up justice system. Gun control has always been about controlling and neutering the law abiding masses (conservatives), not about public safety.

    This is my take on what was just said...

    - David Chipman nominated to lead the ATF
    Giffords Simp and self-proclaimed hoplophobe/gun control advocate leading the organization. Makes perfect sense coming from Biden...
    -Ghost gun loophole will be closed... lol
    Trying to enforce unenforceable rules on untraceable printing and unfinished chunks of aluminum...
    - ATF to make braces illegal unless taxed
    This sucks, but we knew it was going to happen as soon as this fogie won in November.
    - Red Flag laws will be enacted on the federal level and can allow family and friends to report YOU with a simple statement
    Pretty much sums up the liberal agenda of completely eliminating due process.
    - Throwing 1 billion to support local communities on helping these Salem Witch (red flag) trials.

    I am not surprised, and I wonder where this will lead and how many will comply.

    Pistol braces are now SBRs and you can't have unserialized weapons. Not surprising and not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. That being said we must say no.
    I shall stamp them "FVCKBIDEN001", etc

    will be watching to see what the process is before I decide if I will register braces as "SBRs", or just remove the brace and put on a single point sling
