The Demented Usurper Biden, On His Own Dictatorial Authority, Announces "Rule" That Presumes to Outlaw Most Private Gun Sales

As did Obama before him, Biden believes that anytime Congress refuses to pass laws that he demands it's a "crisis" which empowers the executive to assume the power of Congress and pass laws on its own authority.

It's been a quarter of a century since the shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado brought the "gun show loophole" into popular discourse, and the Biden administration has just announced it would move unilaterally to end the practice following decades of inaction by Congress.
A new federal regulation published by the Department of Justice on Thursday, titled "Final Rule: Definition of 'Engaged in the Business' as a Dealer," aims to greatly reduce the number of firearms sold without a background check and comes following the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, according to the Biden White house.

That's the media attempting to claim there is congressional support for this dictator's rule. There's not. Whenever Biden assumes tyrannical power he has his unethical lawyers spam out random references to actual laws which he claims creates Penumbras and Emanations giving him the power to impose whatever law his senile head fancies that day.

Loopholes in the nation's gun laws allow "domestic abusers, school shooters, violent criminals, and gun traffickers" to obtain firearms at local gun shows without criminal background checks, the White House said, and those same loopholes allow some gun sellers who should be required to run background checks to skirt the law and operate without a license to deal in firearms.

The main thing allowing criminals to buy guns is the Democrats' refusal to prosecute criminals, which results in them never being entered into the federal no-buy syndrome.

Once again, Democrats are attempting to reduce crime without causing any distress to the actual criminals, who are their voters.

Just like all of their feigned efforts to control illegal immigration never involve actually stopping any illegal aliens from entering or remaining in the country.

...
The rule is the "largest expansion of background checks since the Brady Bill became the law," and includes a list of commercial activity that might qualify a person as a gun dealer. For example, if a gun owner were to frequently buy and sell the same model firearm, or offer to procure and sell more firearms during a private sale, or if they "repeatedly" sell firearms within 30 days of purchase, they may require a license.
The rule states that there is "no gun show or online sales loophole" and that any commercial activity that would require a Federal Firearms License if it were conducted in a brick and mortar location will now also require such a license.

...
According to Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights, the rule "will outlaw virtually all private sales of firearms between individuals."
...
A spokesperson for the National Rifle Association said the rule is an attempt to "coerce Americans to forgo legal activity" and that they are "already working to use all means available to stop this unlawful rule."
House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., hailed the move, saying the rule "honors the will" of the majority of Americans and that it will save lives, but cautioned there was more to be done.
"Now, Congress needs to build on that progress by fully closing the boyfriend loophole, enacting a nationwide red flag law, getting high-capacity magazines off the street, and reenacting the federal assault weapons ban," Clark said.

And I'm sure Biden's mob lawyers will "discover" hints and innuendoes in the US Code that empower him to impose those "rules" on his own authority, too.

51 Why not try another approach, like going into the high crime areas and do some detain and search of the likely suspects. Or call it something catchy, like "Stop and Frisk".

That was very effective when Rudy did it, but that might actually stop the gun crimes in high crime area ... can't have that. Globalists want to disarm the legit gun owner so they can't defend themselves, AND so they can't fight the globalist overthrow of USA.

64 Here's my thought:

Gun control is failure theater on the left. There is no expectation that this survives or ever gets implemented. They know how many guns are out there and that there's no hope for ever getting their hands on it. But, it drives fundraising. This, like the EO effectively banning gas cars, is posturing for donors.

I know a lot disagree with me on this, but in the decades of strong rhetoric against gun control, they've lost so completely and thoroughly to the point where more than half of all states are constitutional carry states. Gun manufacturers are even moving to those states.

If they're super serious about taking our guns, they had the perfect opportunity in 2009 in Obama's first term, and they created a massive entitlement that paid off their Big Pharma donors instead. Because the federal government is about graft and asking Internet companies to push buttons because cyberspace is their reality.

67 RFK, Jr. keeps dropping pro-Trump truth bombs BIGLY.

Today: "No court has found that President Trump interfered in an election, tried to steal an election, or engaged in or encouraged an insurrection."

A new Gallup poll shows that Biden is 20 points ahead of Trump on "likability," (IIRC), but that Trump STILL wins because of the economy.

An MSNBC focus group of swing state independents showed the same thing as Gallup, pretty much. That can't have been what MSNBC had hoped for.

It's funny how 29 years after the fact, with OJ Simpson dead & buried, there's no better way to start a furious debate than to mention his trial and acquittal. I was astonished on the ONT last night to see some posters saying they agreed with the verdict! I attribute that to blind hatred of the govt at all levels-- which is why that POS got away with double murder in the first place, ironically. Stick it to the man! This is for Rodney King!

88 >>> The rule states that there is "no gun show or online sales loophole" and that any commercial activity that would require a Federal Firearms License if it were conducted in a brick and mortar location will now also require such a license.

An easier 'rule' would be to allow public access to process 4473s.

I can't wait for this to be upheld and then used as the basis for expansion to new areas.

Wanna have a garage sale? Sorry, in a "brick and mortal location," you'd need a license. Better get one. And withhold sales tax. And remit it. And document it. Ditto if you want to sell an old TV on Craigslist or something.

Helping your buddy with a car repair because you have the tools and his wife will make lunch for you guys while you're wrenching? Well, in a "brick and mortar" car shop, you'd be subject to environment and chemical-handling requirements and fees, so you'd better comply. In a "brick and mortar" restaurant, the kitchen would have to be inspected by the health department, so I hope your friend's wife keeps a clean house, too.

Bullet points:

Western diplomats have mounted pressure on China to prevent Iran from escalating tensions in the Middle East with a direct retaliatory strike against Israel.

Tensions spiked at the start of this month when seven Iranian military advisors were killed in a strike on Iran’s consulate in Damascus, Syria. Israel has not declared responsibility.

On Wednesday, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israel “should be punished and will be punished” for the Damascus killings.

Well, I have attended numerous gun shows in the Phoenix area as a snowbird from Canada. Was at a big show in Phoenix a month or two ago. Many booths are placarded as being private sellers, and the hallmark of them is that they don't have dozens of the same or similar models on display. One such private seller had three old top-break revolvers of unknown make in a group, all incomplete, for fifty dollars. Those caught my eye as a tinkerer. Seller said, "I need to see your driver's license." Me, "OK". Proffers Alberta DL. "I can't sell to you, not a citizen." Me, "these appears to be antiques, and therefore not under the purview of the NFA." Him, "not sure". Then he says, pointing to my friend, "He could buy them for you." Me, "That would make him a straw buyer, which I know is illegal as Hell. No way." And I wandered off.

My teachers were very hungry for racial harmony but it was clear, even then, that they could not achieve it or even improve things.

Advice jerks ... letting guilty men go free, or locking up the innocent, under no circumstances will it be good for race relations, you disgusting lunatics.

Wanna have a garage sale? Sorry, in a "brick and mortal location," you'd need a license. Better get one. And withhold sales tax. And remit it. And document it. Ditto if you want to sell an old TV on Craigslist or something.

Helping your buddy with a car repair because you have the tools and his wife will make lunch for you guys while you're wrenching? Well, in a "brick and mortar" car shop, you'd be subject to environment and chemical-handling requirements and fees, so you'd better comply.
