‘An All-Out Assault on the Second Amendment’: Gun Rights Groups
Respond to Biden’s New Executive Order

New executive order will make criminals out of law-abiding gun owners,
2A advocates say

Second Amendment advocates have responded to President Joe Biden’s
newest executive order designed to advance his gun control agenda and
his repeated call for a ban on so-called “assault weapons” and
high-capacity magazines.

“Crimes are committed by criminals. Until President Biden and his
allies decide to go after violent criminals, violence will continue to
spiral out of control as it has. The focus of our laws and efforts
should be on the criminal element and not on law-abiding Americans,” a
statement from the National Rifle Association reads.

Biden’s order will require background checks on more than just retail
firearms sales, promote the adoption and use of “Red Flag Laws,” make
gun dealer inspection reports public, call for stricter enforcement of
the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, and request that the Federal
Trade Commission issue a report on the marketing of firearms to
children by gun makers.

“The executive order ramps up our efforts to hold the gun industry
accountable. It’s the only outfit you can’t sue these days,” Biden
said while in California on March 14.
‘Most Anti-Gun President in US History’

Dudley Brown, president of the National Association for Gun Rights,
issued a statement calling on Congress to stand against an
unconstitutional attempt at gun registration.

“This is an all-out assault on the Second Amendment, and we’re looking
into every legislative and legal option to fight back against the most
anti-gun president in U.S. history. What part of ‘shall not be
infringed’ does Biden not understand?” Brown’s statement reads.

Like the other organizations that responded, Brown said the order
wouldn’t reduce crime. Instead, it will make law-abiding citizens
criminals if they don’t comply with the government’s voluminous
regulations, he wrote.

“The reality is this executive order will do nothing to stop criminals
from buying and selling firearms illegally, but it will entrap
otherwise law-abiding Americans and put them on the bad side of the
ATF. The unconstitutional NICS database should be abolished, not
expanded,” Brown wrote.

Gun Owners of America wrote in a statement that it has been expecting
such action from the president.

The organization’s senior vice president, Erich Pratt, is quoted as
saying that the current background check system fails 90 percent of
the time. Pratt doesn’t believe expanding it will make things better.

“Guns will continue to fall into the wrong hands as long as
politicians and bureaucrats fail to acknowledge the real elephant in
the room—violent criminals freely walking the streets,” Pratt wrote.

Biden also declared his intention to continue pursuing a ban on
certain types of rifles and magazines. He claimed that mass shootings
tripled in the United States after the previous 10-year ban expired in
2004.

“I’m determined once again to ban assault weapons and high-capacity
magazines,” Biden said.

The chairman of the Committee for the Citizens’ Right to Keep and Bear
Arms, Alan Gottlieb, said Biden’s agenda has nothing to do with
safety. Like the other gun rights advocates, Gottlieb believes that
Biden’s plan will fail if it’s implemented.

“The only people who will be any safer are the criminals who ignore
gun-control laws already,” Gottlieb said.
