Biden to reinforce background checks for gun buyers

[Madmallard]

President Biden will announce an executive order on Tuesday that reinforces background checks for gun buyers in what the White House is promoting as the most comprehensive policy the president can enact without Congress.

The order will also strengthen federal support for red flag laws intended to stop gun sales to people deemed dangerous that have been passed by 19 states and the District of Columbia. It follows previous executive action the Biden administration has taken with the intent to reduce gun violence.

What? This is a pure publicity stunt for his base to make it seem like he’s doing something. This EO encourages safe storage and encourages FFLs to tell others they need to do a background check to sell a gun? This is a big nothingburger. Let’s pass an EO that says follow the laws in place. Freaking morons, all of em.
But the heart of the executive order would seek to expand background checks intended to prevent felons or domestic abusers from buying guns, largely by leaning on federally licensed gun dealers to comply or educating others who may not realize they are required to run background checks under existing law, the White House said.

This EO will do nothing and not save a single life. There is NO PENALTY for not adhering to any EO.

EO, did we vote that in?
We don't need Congress or anyone, I got an EO!

I wouldn't discount EO's that quickly, it was an EO #9066 that put 120,000 Japanese US Citizens into Internment prison camps....

If the article is right it means nothing. Then again we all know how reporting is and it could strip every American of their gun rights for all we actually know.
I think what most are saying is EO are bullshit altogether and Congress didn’t vote on the
Contents. This one seems to just raise awareness and have FFLs talk to their customers or have a sign up saying don’t sell you guns to felons or domestic abusers on the private market. Also says we encourage you to store your guns safely.

I wonder if they are also going to do background checks on those Taliban's who took all the weapons left behind by biden?

I wonder if the EO will require background checks on all the Ukrainians getting our weapons that are sent over there, and the Russians who are getting them as battlefield pickups.

There is zero chance, that an alzheimers patient, can even write his name or avoid shitting his pants every two hours, while he dreams of his daughter in the shower with him.

This was written, by more fat dumb ugly cat ladies who are OBAMA/SUSAN RICE/SCHUMER, green commies, who hate men, and specifically white men preventing the "JUSTICE TAKEOVERS OF THEIR FORTUNES AND HOMES............all stolen from, minorities since the end of the Civil War.

Can't have a revolution, without gunless gun owners.

 

[subsonic]

The way I read this is he wants more feds at gun shows narcing on private sellers. In other words, more of the same, with some showboating.

Unless the justice department goes after people like, and including, Hunter Biden who flagrantly disregard gun laws, it's just happy commie bullshit.

 

[Jsmegs77]

And that’s gonna do what for private party sales, which are legal in the majority of states? Oh that’s right… nothing. Political grandstanding and stroking his base’s collective schlong, that’s it.

Reimagining what's already on the books? Bravo Joey. Your reward; you can now go out and wait for the ice cream truck.

The problem is that can order *anything* without consequences.

The worst that will happen is the courts will eventually stop it.

If they violate rights with an EO that should be prosecutable. Even for POTUS (after impeachment of course).

As it stands, Biden could re-instate prima nocta via EO and send the FBI out to round up some of your daughters, and the best you can hope for is an injunction in time.

What you're missing is ATF agents and DOJ shills trolling private sales venues, forums, and sites and threatening, harassing, or prosecuting any Bubba who's privately bought and sold a gun too many for their liking for "engaging in the business" without a license, and secondarily for not doing a background check while doing so.

They're already doing that, but clearly there's deep state agents who want more and more that. Be smart, and never ever sell to a stranger who could possibly be a fed or informant without some sort of proof of residence. Assume anyone is a fed or an informant until proven otherwise. Remember what they did to Randy Weaver.

Will Hunter get a background check?

 

[Cooolone]

Is nothing more than another example of the Executive Branch bypassing the Legislative... The Exec already ignores the Judicial...

So what have we then...?

 

[livingston]

 

[Willyone]

Will Hunter get a background check?

Nope. He just gets checks, or diamonds, or cash.

 

[GOPerfect]

Good, about time the elected do something to protect Americans against all of this gun violence and senseless death.

Biden’s executive order does not make policy changes but calls on executive agencies to ensure compliance with existing laws, moving the US as close to universal background checks as possible under existing laws without requiring Congress to pass additional legislation.

Biden’s Gun Executive Order Literally Doesn’t Change Anything

He's just posturing. It doesn't change policy or laws.

“Rather, it directs federal agencies to ensure compliance with existing laws and procedures.”
You’ll be forgiven if you think the Bruen decision is included among the “existing laws.”

To paraphrase a popular joke, this EO simply says "comply, or we'll say 'comply' again!"
