There better be a lawsready to go and impeachment papers since he is breaking his oath of office.

But in not holding my breath.

I have always wanted to build an AR.   Seems like now is a good time to at least get my 'ghost gun' 80% lower. >:D
So, I just ordered a 80% lower from 80percentarms.com.    Thanks for the motivation Joe! [ar15]

And 46 will be nominating a gun control advocate as the new ATF Director:

Quote
Zeke Miller
@ZekeJMiller
WASHINGTON (AP) — AP sources: Biden to nominate former special agent, gun control advocate David Chipman as ATF director.

Quote
In his Twitter bio, David Chipman describes himself thusly: “ATF Special Agent (retired), Gun Violence Prevention Advocate @GiffordsCourage, Michigander in Virginia and Proud 97%er.”

Apparently the dude locked his twitter account ahead of time so people can't find out how much of a totalitarian commie he is.

If anyone was waiting on a tax stamp I would be willing to bet there's suddenly going to be some extra delays.

Yeah, seeing this guy nominated, my first thought was to get another can in the pipeline, but then I wondered if it would even go through. It would suck to pay $800 for a can, then suddenly have tax stamps suspended or something and be out the dough.

Maybe this guy will be too much of a hot potato to make it through the confirmation hearings. At least a couple of D senators might be afraid of getting voted out if they confirm him.

The Arizona Governor just signed a bill to preempt any new fed gun laws that the state deems unconstitutional. Good for him.

The same was supposed to happen here in Idaho, but it appears the legislation is held up. Maybe Biden's announcement will get them off their asses. I recall reading a quote in the local paper from a legislator here that it is vital to get this kind of legislation through BEFORE any new fed laws ore EOs are issued as it is apparently legally problematic to do the prohibition thing to laws already on the books.

Quote
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed legislation on April 6 that would prohibit police and sheriffs in the state from enforcing new federal gun laws that may violate the Constitution’s Second Amendment.

Proponents of the bill have argued that it would ensure that the rights of gun owners are protected from what they have described as potential overreach by the federal government, while critics say the law will undermine cooperation between Arizona law enforcement and federal officials.

Waiting on something like that here in Ky. %$@! Dem gov would probably veto it but the Rs in the senate have enough votes to override.

I see those laws as a little bit dangerous; all they do is say police and sheriffs will turn a blind eye to federal gun laws and prohibits them from assisting the feds.  It offers no protection against the feds arresting and prosecuting you on their own, but it might lead citizens to think they had protection.

I like it since it might give pause to some of the big city police chiefs who would be tempted to go crazy with gun control enforcement.

Some stuff seems to be leaking. "Ghost guns" and also...

Quote
The Justice Department will be given 60 days to issue a separate rule on stabilizing braces, which can turn a pistol into a more accurate weapon that fires like a rifle. Sixty days will also be provided for the DOJ to develop model "red flag" legislation that would allow friends and family members to identify an individual as a potential danger, thereby temporarily preventing the person from accessing a firearm.

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 Justice Department, within 60 days, will publish model “red flag” legislation for states.

If they go NFA with the braces and allow the free issuance of Tax Stamps as floated a while back I will just have to get a couple of extras for SBRing my spare lowers. ;)

But he owns a gun and has a carry permit!!!!!!!

Quote
In an op-ed he penned in The Roanoke Times last year, Chipman described himself as a "proud gun owner" who has sometimes been "mischaracterized as a gun grabber." Chipman noted that he supports gun safety regulations that would "save lives" but wouldn’t take guns away from law-abiding citizens.

"I am a proud and responsible gun owner, as are millions of Virginians," Chipman wrote. "I am also permitted to carry a concealed handgun. I am not afraid of lawmakers in Richmond passing laws to make it harder for criminals to get guns. In fact, I’m part of the majority who demand it."

I found this link to a reddit Q&A discussion Chipman held. His answers here tell a lot about him.

https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/d285va/i_am_david_chipman_giffords_courage_to_fight_gun/

Example:

Quote
Hi David you made an appearance on CBS news and seemed to have made several conflicting or outright false statements.

For example at 4:40 in the clip below you state that its a

it's a myth that silencers can be used in lieu of hearing protection"

and then in your next statement

silencers are particularly deadly because they cause confusion in shootings and make it hard to recognize gun fire.

My question is: How is it something can be so loud that it still requires hearing protection, but quiet enough that it makes it hard to recognize gun fire?

In case you need a refresher the clip can be viewed at

I'll let this gun violence survivor speak for themselves.

"When we heard the first shots, it sounded like a nail gun going off."

He also really hammers on AR pistols in this discussion.

Edit again. One more. You really have to read through that link. Holy moly.

Biden moves on "Gun Control"

Large Numbers of NICS Checks

I believe these gun sales are a direct result of the threat to our freedoms. I believe more and more people are beginning to see where all this government control is leading and realize that it may come to a shooting war. It will take a shooting war to preserve those freedoms and restore those that have been infringed or lost and no one wants to be caught unable to participate in such a righteous end to the dictatorial human debris that staff and despotically abuse the offices of our Constitution.

I think it is ironic that Biden and his ilk - authors all to the threat to our rights and freedoms - continue to press on with their agenda in light of the obvious rising of the people's ability to resist. We can only hope and pray that they reach the epiphany that they can't have us before those of us who revere our rights and freedoms and and revel in them must take a stand. I believe they misjudge our need and desire to remain a free people. I believe they have forgotten that their jobs working for the Constitution are primarily to secure our rights and freedoms or are simply ignoring their constitutional duties in order to turn us into subjects, slaves, and villein.

I would love to agree with you, but I can't.

Some people are buying guns because of the threat to our liberty, but I think most of the new buyers are of the mindset of, "I'd better buy one while I can."  At the first sign of new laws enacted or confiscation started, those new buyers will happily turn in their guns.
