(The Center Square) – The White House on Monday called for a controversial pistol regulation that would impact millions of Americans, requiring many more gun owners to register with the federal government.
President Joe Biden’s Office of Management and Budget released a statement backing new federal regulations for “stabilizing braces” for pistols. The White House also blasted a Republican Congressional effort to push back against the rule, making clear Biden would veto Republicans’ bill if needed.
The fight over this issue kicked into high gear in January when the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issued a final rule to put pistols with “stabilizing braces” into the category of short-barreled rifles, thus subjecting them to heavier regulations. Those braces allow users to fire pistols with one hand, and were initially designed to help people like disabled veterans to continue using firearms.
The new rule would require Americans to pay a fee and register their braces. Lawsuits were filed to challenge this rule, and in May a federal court temporarily blocked the rule until a final decision is reached.
The Firearms Policy Coalition, which challenged the Biden rule in court, said that it would have made “millions of peaceable people into felons overnight simply for owning a firearm that has been lawful to own for a decade, unless they either destroy their constitutionally protected property or comply with the NFA’s onerous and unconstitutional requirements.”
According to ATF, there are about 3 million guns with stabilizing braces in the U.S. Failing to register could lead to fines and even imprisonment.
The White House pointed out that some mass shooters have used stabilizing braces and argue the braces make pistols more like short barrel rifles, which are much more heavily regulated.
“The rationale is clear: short-barreled rifles are more concealable than long guns, yet more dangerous and accurate at a distance than traditional pistols,” the White House said. “For these reasons, they are particularly lethal, which is why Congress has deemed them to be dangerous and unusual weapons subject to strict regulation since 1934.”
U.S. Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., introduce a resolution in March to overturn the federal rule change via the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to block federal rule changes.
The White House, though, has blasted the Republican effort.
“Even though Congressional Republicans should take additional action to keep these and other dangerous weapons off our streets, they are instead pushing a resolution to reverse this rule and the progress we have made to enforce existing statutory requirements on these dangerous weapons,” OMB said.
If it moves, tax it,,,If it shoots ban it, unless you are the son of the President who gets to own guns even though legally he is restricted. WIll these control freaks ever just leave us in peace, then we would have no need to own guns.

When your gun is registered with the federal government. The treasonous socialist Democrat Party’s ruled government will know exactly where to come to confiscate your guns.
If this treasonous Democrat Party is able to manipulate more elections, WE the PEOPLE will be under the total control of the treasonous Democrat Party.
You will have NO Rights.
The reign of the Socialist Democrat Party State Dictatorship is just getting started.
The “Socialist Democrat Party State” political officers, FBI Gestapo, Woke and Cancel Culture are just getting started.
You will obey, be loyal and totally support the policies of the “Socialist Democrat Party State” or you will be classified as “Enemies of the State” and “Domestic Terrorists”.
YET if you are A looter, Robber, Rapist, anarchist, or BLM activist, KEEP YOUR GUNS as we are not doing jack to you!
Remember that the byden is a mob boss and wants total control over the people, the byden wants to be the one to say who gets to live and what they can do or have. The byden is 100% nothing less than a dictator and tyrant that would kill off half the country if he thought it would serve him justice.
Keep in mind that this treasonous, corrupt, demented, puppet president Joe Biden is not running our country.
Notice how the same treasonous tinkerbell Barack Obama’s destructive agendas and policies came back after puppet Joe Biden was manipulated into the White House. Puppet Biden is only a puppet doing the will of his masters who are in the shadows, pulling puppet Biden’s strings from behind the a wall.
Have you ever wondered why the LGBTQ perverts and the Negro-Americans get a whole month to honor their perversions and race. But veterans who died defending our country only get a day. The Men who died in the civil war who died to free the Negro slaves, don’t even get a day. The Negro-Americans even want to tear down every statue of an honorable civil war veteran. The Asian slaves who built our cross country rail road don’t even get a day of respect.
So I as you where is the respect for our country, the U.S.A. within this treasonous, destructive, unethical, dishonest, immoral, woke, socialist Democrat Party???
Remember that the byden is nothing less than a dictator and tyrant, that wants total control over the people. The byden wants the people totally disarmed so they cannot defend themselves. The SATAN WORSHIPPING DEMONCRATS want nothing more than to be able to push the people around, and make them slaves.

Booker T. Washington had a very good response as to why Al. SHARPTON, THE jessie JACKSONS put themselves out front in Civil-Rights,’ MOVEMENT, and WHY THE DEMOCRAT ELITE also joined in the CIVIL-Rights , leaders demands as well. ”Because it paid.!
As usual this unlawful, unconstitutional law only imposes penalties on the law abiding citizens who were told by the AFT that purchasing these pistols was entirely legal.
It does nothing to stop the criminal who will ignore the law no matter how many new laws are on the books. When will the gun control crowd get that?
The ATF does not have the authority to write gun law, or any law. According to the Constitution, the Congress has the sole authority to write law. The only reason we have this now is that biden could not get his anti-gun agenda passed through Congress, so he appointed an anti-gun proponent who would do his bidding and try to illegally ram his new rules through.
This will undoubtedly be knocked down by the Supreme Court, but until it is it will impose undue hardships on legal gunowners and put businesses and countless people out of jobs.
AND that’s assuming even IF the scotus ‘kicks it down’, that the AFT EVEN LISTENS!

Also, what part of “The right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” don’t people understand?
In legal parlance, the word ‘shall’ is an absolute.
Kinda funny, in a sick way, isn’t it – the left wants zero restrictions on the right of a woman to kill her unborn child, but the same left wants more regulations, on top of the myriad others which exist, on guns, ostensibly to stop mass killings?
I could be wrong, but I think firearms are the most heavily regulated thing we have in our society – even more so than pharmaceuticals, the foods we eat, the cars we drive, etc.
And I was thrown in “Twitter Jail” (and am still there today), all for suggesting the left has psychiatric problems? Truth hurts, doesn’t it?
Exactly WE ALREADY SUFFER under more than likely over 1000 RESTRICTIONS ON the 2a, but the left wants NOT ONE SINGLE RESTRICTION FOR voting.. WHICH never was a RIGHT According to the initial constitution.
IT ONLY GOT added, via an act of congress, giving women the right to vote.
