Biden Gun Speech Filled With Falsehoods

Biden Gun Speech Filled With Falsehoods

President Joe Biden made numerous false and misleading statements while unveiling a package of gun-control actions on Thursday.

Biden falsely described how federal firearm laws work as he called for Congress to amend those laws. He pushed the Senate to pass H.R. 8, which would ban private gun sales unless done through a licensed dealer, by claiming there is a special exemption for sales made at gun shows.

“Most people don’t know, you walk into a store and you buy a gun you have a background check,” Biden said in his speech at the White House. “But you go to a gun show, you can buy whatever you want and no background check.”

Biden Administration Announces Plans to Curb ‘Ghost Guns,’ Push ‘Red Flag’ Legislation

Biden Administration Announces Plans to Curb ‘Ghost Guns,’ Push ‘Red Flag’ Legislation

President Joe Biden’s administration is taking action to stop the proliferation of so-called ghost guns and push states to adopt “red flag” legislation, the White House announced late Wednesday.

Biden is directing the Department of Justice to, within 30 days, issue a proposed rule aimed at curbing the spread of so-called ghost guns, or guns that are made from build-it-yourself kits.


Biden could turn 3M to 4M gun owners into felons

President Biden’s abrupt move to regulate one of America’s most popular firearms for plinkers and hunters could turn up to four million owners into felons overnight.

Among the six initiatives he is taking in executive actions, Biden is ordering the Justice Department to regulate AR-15-style pistols, the current rage with buyers.

While they can currently be purchased like longer rifle versions after an FBI background check, AR pistols could soon be subject to a $200 tax and require approval by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a process that already takes nearly a year.

Gun ownership among Black Americans is soaring

“In times of uncertainty people want to be able to have the means to defend themselves,” a law professor said.

Black people are buying guns at a high record rate, partially due to fear and anxiety, according to The Guardian.

Black people owning guns have gone up 58.2 percent, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) — and gun groups like the “Not F**king Around Coalition (NFAC)” consist of armed social justice advocates who demand justice for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, visibly strapped with handguns.

Iowa Governor Signs Bill Into Law Letting Residents Buy, Carry Guns Without Permits

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed legislation into law on Friday lifting some restrictions to buy or carry a handgun in the state for law-abiding citizens.

The NRA-backed legislation named “House File 756” will take effect on July 1 and eliminates the requirement for law-abiding Iowans to obtain a permit to purchase a handgun from private non-licensed sources. Additionally, to carry a weapon, people will no longer need to have a permit as well.

BAROOTES: Trudeau’s made-in-America obsession with guns does nothing to keep us safe

You know a federal election is in the air when a Liberal government starts to dream up a new suite of exotic and invasive gun laws.

In the past year alone, the Trudeau government has announced a federal buy-back program for a list of firearms they have now deemed to be illegal. They introduced new legislation that will allow municipalities to ban law-abiding Canadians from owning restricted firearms, which could also ban airsoft sports. And, most recently, they have introduced Bill C-22 to eliminate a number of mandatory minimum penalties for firearms offenses that keep communities safe.

For those keeping score at home, this means the Trudeau government is now treating people who obey the law like criminals, people who break the law like victims, and people who work for municipalities as if they work for the federal government instead.

PBS’s Contempt for Gun Owners: Republicans ‘Don’t Have a Conscience’ on Guns

On Tuesday’s Amanpour & Co., the PBS show not only did its part to spread anti-gun misinformation, but also to demonize Republicans who dispute the value of more gun control. Host Christiane Amanpour and her guests made several blatantly false claims about the significance of background checks and the prevalence of so-called “assault weapons.” She also allowed one of her guests to sneer that Republicans “don’t have a conscience” when it comes to guns.

Can a government ‘buyback’ get these guns out of Canadians’ hands? Why some owners say they’re not selling

Can a government ‘buyback’ get these guns out of Canadians’ hands? Why some owners say they’re not selling

Cassy Parker owns many guns.

One that is near and dear to her heart is her Ruger Mini-14 Ranch rifle, a lightweight, semi-automatic gun, which her husband and five kids got her a couple of years ago for Mother’s Day.

Parker, who co-owns a gun shop called K.K.S. Tactical Supplies in a small strip mall in Prince George in northern British Columbia, says she has used her Ruger both for recreation and as part of her community-sanctioned “predator-management” efforts — killing some of the wolves and coyotes that prey on livestock animals, such as calves, and wildlife, including caribou, deer and moose.

Getting the Facts Straight on the ‘Boulder Gun Ban’

After another tragic mass shooting, the Left peddles its usual anti-gun propaganda, facts be damned.

Even in a country full of politicians, activists, and pundits who mislead and obfuscate, few public policy conversations come with more heat and less light than those surrounding “gun control.” Unsurprisingly, this is especially true during the emotion and trauma following a horrific event such as Monday’s massacre at the King Soopers supermarket on Table Mesa Road in Boulder, Colorado.

US Appeals Court Rules States May Restrict People From Openly Carrying Guns in Public

An appeals court on Wednesday ruled that states may restrict people from openly carrying firearms in public—upholding a Hawaii gun regulation that bans residents from openly carrying guns without a license.

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 7-4 that restrictions on carrying guns in public except for hunting do not violate the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms.
