The Associated Press forgets to ask and answer a very pertinent question: would any of these EOs actually make a difference in reducing gun play? Would they make any difference in Chicago, which is seeing the most shootings since 2017? Or so many others that are occurring in Democratic Party run cities, where murder is, at last check, still illegal?
Analysis: Biden White House tries to craft gun executive orders that can’t be undone
The White House is trying to craft a series of executive actions for President Joe Biden to sign to try to limit gun violence, hoping they cannot be quickly dismantled in court, according to aides and gun safety groups.
Among the measures being considered – and strongly encouraged by activists – is one directing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to reinterpret existing law on untraceable “ghost guns.”
So-called “ghost gun” kits are self-assembled from parts purchased online or at gun shows and are increasingly associated with crimes. But they are not classified as firearms and so can be legally sold without serial numbers or background checks.
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has said more than 30% of the illegal weapons it has confiscated in some areas of California are ghost guns.
Among the topics discussed, according to attendees, were “ghost guns”, pushing the DOJ to bring more cases against firearms dealers and manufacturers, limiting exemptions for private sales from background check rules, and alerting local law enforcement when someone fails a federal background check.
So, they say ghost guns associated with crime. What types? How often? Are there shootings involved? You know if they were being used the Credentialed Media would be screaming about this, right? Going after dealers and manufacturers? For what, selling and manufacturing legal devices? If any have done something illegal, why would an EO be needed? Under what authority would limiting exemptions be changed by an EO? That’s something lawmakers would have to do. The last one is already supposed to be done.
Biden has said the administration is exploring whether he has the authority to take action on firearms made using 3D printers as well as on imported guns.
“We stand ready and all options are on the table,” said Amy Hunter, a spokeswoman for the pro-gun National Rifle Association, when asked about the possibility of presidential executive orders.
White House and Department of Justice lawyers are working to anticipate a raft of legal challenges, aides and allies said.
If you’re worried about Constitutional lawsuits, well, that should tell you that your EOs could very well be un-Constitutional
The Department of Justice needs to create a paper trail to show that any rule change was not abrupt or political, that it has a strong foundation in law, and that officials followed a reasoned and orderly process before making the change, lawyers and activists say.
“They are talking about the levers that they have to address gun violence,” said Christian Heyne, vice president of policy at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, a group that has met with White House. “That’s reflected in some of the meetings they had.”
I have an idea: how about enforcing the tens of thousands of existing laws on the books? How about developing a system whereby people who have been busted by police at any level (as well as in the military, as we’ve seen) are put into the database for checking gun eligibility, which would make the so-called
Charleston loophole” null.
Absent congressional legislation that cements any U.S. presidents’ executive orders or other policies into law, the conservative-leaning Supreme Court could have the final say.
Cute, considering how often hardcore leftist courts blocked Trump’s EOs. Anyhow, how many shootings will this stop? How many killings? How many crimes involving a firearm will be stopped? When they instituted the 55 mile an hour speed limit, seat belts, helmets, and other moving vehicle regulations, they said “it will save this many lives.” What will any of these gun restrictions do?
IN THE REST OF THE WORLD WHILE CHINA JOE SUCCA’s XI’s Dik:
Biden Calls Ukraine as Russia Begins Massive Military Buildup on Border…After CHINA LOVING JOE calls Putin a murderer who has NO MUSLIMS IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS like his heroes in CHINA.

GOTTA LOVE THE SHITSHOW CHAIRWEENIE BIDEN IS BRINGING US. Mike Pompeo imposed sanctions and refused visas for the outgoing prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, after she launched an investigation into alleged war crimes by US military personnel in Afghanistan.
The court in The Hague further irritated the United States by opening an investigation into alleged war crimes in the Palestinian territories by Israel, a US ally which rejects the authority of the court.
Antony Blinken, said the United States continued to “disagree strongly” with the moves.
YEAH THEM STRONGLY DISAGREE STATEMENTS really scare the bejesus outta America haters.
Reports: Capitol Attack Suspect Identified Self as Farrakhan Follower…..GASP with DEMS in charge we now have two terrorist attacks by Muslims in what? A week? Standby for attack after attack from Muslim extremists, this time home grown by the nation of Islam.
The United States and Iran said Friday they will begin indirect negotiations with intermediaries next week to try to get both countries back into compliance with an accord limiting Iran’s nuclear program, nearly three years after President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the deal.
The left just can’t help themselves. They love them some White Nationalists. Just not America’s white nationalists. And by the way the only people of color in the Critical race theory is whomever they decide is people of color on any given day.
And now you know a little bit about the absolute mess that is going on in the world.
Standby for MORE!! See Below the fold
A RAY of sunshine.
It looks like things are set to get much more challenging for the EU Commission Chief Ursula Von Der Leyen after strong Eurosceptics from EU nations are meeting to set up a Eurosceptic supergroup to sway the balance of power.
Hungary’s Viktor Orban, Italy’s Matteo Salvini and Poland’s Mateusz Morawiecki are joining forces to rattle Brussels to its core….Oh and there is more. France Marie Le Pen set to win the next France election this year as well as Germany are also showing strong support for are you ready?
HOLD YOUR HEAD ELWOOD/HAIRY…..
MAKE EUROPE GREAT AGAIN…..is the name of this new Organization.
Make Europe Great Again – MEGA – is an inspiring and entertaining documentary about finding a new vision for Europe in an era of disbelief.
All across the world WHITE NATIONALISTS are rising up against CORPORATIONS and POWER BROKERS whom the left has suddenly fallen in love with. Remember Critical Race Theory defines White Nationalists as every race but Blacks except on tuesdays. So them Muslims are racists as are those Russians and Chinamens. Until they are not as ordered by Chairman XI from CHINA.
So-called “ghost” guns DO NOT appear to be a significant contributor to crime or terrorism, although a ghost gun was used in the Saugus HS shooting in 2019. But as a nation we’ve already concluded that dead schoolchildren are a small price to pay for maintaining our freedoms and Constitutional rights.
The Onion: “‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.â€
If Paranoia-Americans (GQPhers) feel the need to manufacture their own guns so that the Government/Industrial/Communist Complex (GICC) can’t monitor them, let them. Making these guns illegal is meaningless.
What’s next? Will the GICC try to tell us we can’t build our own pipe bombs?
So Cuban-Canadian, and US Senator Rafael Eduardo Cruz (along with other GQPhers) insisted the feds remove a DC barrier. Done!
Another dead Capitol Police Officer later…
Would that be the barrier that Green smashed into?
You know Noah Green, the 25 year old black man who was a follower of Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam?
Funny how you seem to blame others for the attack instead of the guy who actually did the attacking.
That’s how deep the hatred goes – the left won’t blame their own for anything.
Then again, all the left has is hate.
So 30% of the guns used in crime are “Ghost guns” How many of the shooters of those guns are being charged for a firearms crime (I would bet most of the users of “Ghost Guns” are already Convicted felons (IE Gang Bangers) who are not allowed to own firearms anyway
