Biden-Harris plan executive order to disarm citizens

42

The White House is set to announce executive actions by President Joe Biden in coming days relating to guns. The announcement is being made in coordination with the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which he created a year ago and which is led by Vice President Kamala Harris, who foreshadowed it in a comment on the White House web page.

“In the year since President Biden asked me to oversee the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, our administration has improved and expanded background checks by closing the gun show loophole and implementing enhanced background checks for Americans under the age of 21,” Harris wrote. “We have worked with law enforcement and courts to keep guns out of the hands of abusive dating partners after we narrowed the boyfriend loophole. We are also making progress on distributing the single largest investment in youth mental health in history, $1 billion for schools across the country to hire and train more than 14,000 mental health professionals who can help address the trauma of gun violence.”

Harris continued, “Additionally, our Office has been an unprecedented resource to states, cities, and local communities – launching a Resource Center to help states implement red flag laws, coordinating the first-ever federal interagency response to mass shootings, releasing a Safer States Agenda to help legislators pass commonsense gun safety laws, and helping communities access our historic investments in community violence intervention programs.”

She also demanded states and Congress pass universal background checks, red flag laws, and safe storage laws, something that Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola has supported in the past.

“I support the creation of a bipartisan congressional committee tasked with bringing common sense gun legislation to Congress that helps prevent tragedies in our communities, preserves the subsistence lifestyle that many people depend on, and respects our 2nd amendment rights,” Peltola said in 2022.

Harris also said Congress needs to ban bump stocks, and renew the “Assault Weapons Ban.”

“Our administration will also continue to implement the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and take additional executive action to support states, cities, and local communities in their efforts to reduce gun violence,” Harris said, hinting at executive orders to come before the Biden-Harris Administration ends in January.

  1. Somewhere in the archives there is a statement regarding the number of firearms in private citizens ownership. In that statement was quoted ownership in the upper mid West states that I recall, being in the hundreds of thousands which multiplied by the total number of states, gave this final estimate.
    Any effort to collect these private firearms by a tyrannical government will bring Japan’s Admiral Yamamoto’s observation prior to Japan entering World War 2, to his government.”Behind every blade of grass in America there is a rifle”. He recognized the threat, smart fellow, why ahead of his time.
    Cheers.

  2. The right to bear arms is natural and absolute, and perpetually exists with or without the second amendment as was originally intended. This official act is a gross violation of the oath of office and strikes at the heart of individual Liberty. Plainly, it is treasonous and should be dealt with accordingly.

    • Partially disagree. Not with the intent, but the wording.
      .
      The right of an individual to protect themselves from threats, both personal and political, is a fundamental human right. In order to exercise that right, the individual cannot be disbarred the use of the tools required. And, those tools include arms.
      .
      Anyone who wants to disarm you is not impacting your right to bear arms. They are impacting your right to self defense. Self defense is a fundamental human right. Bearing arms is how you practice it.

  3. Why is it not common sense to enforce the laws we already have? The Uvalde shooter passed all back-ground checks. Local law enforcement knew he lived with a convicted felon, his grandfather, and knew the guns would be in that residence – a violation of federal law. And we know about Hunter Biden.

    It is pretty common for murderers to have regularly broken existing laws with impunity for weeks or months prior to committing murder yet Democrats across the US, including in Alaska, continually call for additional restrictions, including making firearms ownership illegal. Would those new laws impede anyone but law-abiding Americans? Why would those new laws be enforced when existing laws are disregarded by the justice system? What does Congresswoman Mary Peltola think about Vice President Harris’s stated intention to confiscate guns from all Americans, and to implement mandatory “buy-back” programs exactly like Canada has tried?

    • “Why is it not common sense to enforce the laws we already have?”
      Because those laws do not lead to confiscation of guns from anyone not politically connected.
      .
      Either be a good party apparatchik, or get your guns taken away. Simple really. Protect the “government” not the individual.

    • Convicted felons in Alaska, are allowed to possess long guns, i.e. rifles and shotguns, under state law.
      Still not allowed under federal law.

  4. Which brings up the question, who is managing the office of the President? The puppet named Biden has been
    incognitive for years, who is sufficiently coherent in the Oval Office receiving presidential briefings and actually signing EOs, legislation and all official duties? It brings up the vital question are any of these documents legal and binding? There is no Constitutional authority granted to another individual to interject themself and avoid the process to transfer power. If we had a legitimate Congress with a functioning opposition party doing their due diligence, he would have been impeached and replaced with the “Kamala” already. As horrific as that sounds, it is the legitimate sequence. We only have ourselves to blame, going along with the fraud which is termed the 2020 election.

    • The NICS background check system already prevents that, as do numerous Federal, State, and local laws.
      .
      Perhaps if they were actually enforced?

    • Yes there is. For example: a rock, a baseball bat, a golf club, a two by 4, a rock, a tire iron, a fist, a knife, a dog, a shovel, a rake. All of these must be banned if there is an “assault weapon” ban.

    • Let me guess, you’re vaxxed and have taken booster shots for the dreaded scourge against humankind, Covid.
      We have so called “assault” rifle for three reasons.
      1) if law and order breaks down you can defend your loved ones and property against the threat with a modern firearm.
      2) if we are invaded by a foreign power we have the means to defend our country, land, and way of life.
      3) if our own government turns tyrannical and wholesale disregards the constitution (read the Declaration of Independence) – We the People have the right and duty to rise up against tyranny and restore our God given rights as free citizens.

    • And criminals are going to abide by such a law? Not. Criminals, their numbers on the rise with the continued border invasion and lack of enforcement, will tout all sorts of weaponry, legal and not legal. I suppose you think law enforcement will be at the ready to defend you.

    • “…the banning of assault weapons which should be done.”
      Why?
      As a law abiding and responsible gun owner, why should I have my firearm banned? I am law abiding and responsible. I own, store, and use my firearms in a law abiding and responsible way.
      .
      But, you think some of my firearms should be banned because of how they look? And, because of the actions of criminals?
      .
      Sorry, but last time I checked, the 5th and 6th amendment still apply here. I have a fundamental human right to know the charges/accusations filed against me, and by who. I have the right to know who I am accused by. And, before I am disbarred the use of an item I legally purchased, I must be compensated.
      .
      Also, if they want to ignore the 4th amendment, and likely the 8th as well, then a forced confiscation could happen. But, I think that may be going a tad bit too far.

      • The move is to label semi-autos as dangerous and destructive … not covered by 2A. Of course, the government can own anything and use them was they wish with no counter balance by the citizenry. Since the Deep State is an unelected and now unaccountable bureaucratic ruler of the nation, they can’t allow the people to remove them from power. Power flows from the barrel of a gun… as said by both Napolean and Mao… I guess the Deep State’s patron saints.

        • That is exactly why I wanted Jim to answer. Because “assault” weapon is not defined in any rational way.
          As you note, it is just a way for the gun control advocates to restrict the law abiding and responsible from owning something they do not like.

  5. So long as the big cities and too many states continue to weakly punish the common criminals who use guns in their trades and in their turf wars – and right here we ought to specifically direct our attention to Chicagoland and the red states of the east and west coasts – these new laws of Biden and Harris will only serve to ‘plow the sea’ in reducing the use of guns by criminals. Washington state passed Biden’s proposed guns laws about ten years ago, and still the number of murders there is rising.

    Biden and Harris know these things, and we know they know it, and they know that we know they know it, and still they lie to us. And the lying MSN and opinion media will still lick this gun-law manure from the bottoms of their shoes.

  6. Shall not infringe❗Will not comply❗A bridge too far❗No government law trumps the right of self-defense. Period. That right was given by God, not granted by government❗ The Constitution binds government hands, not those of the citizen❗

  7. I wonder if Switzerland still issues firearms to all men who attain a certain age. I wonder if Congress could give a report of that foreign government behavior excusing it perse. Everyone loves the Swiss like the red carpet DC treatment given out on the sly for Mr. Schwab.

    • Yes, they are issued, but with conformity to the EU. Giving up self defense is big thing these days.

      Anyone owning a K31 Swiss military rifle may find the name and address of the man issued the rifle under the butt plate. They took pride in possessing the rifle.

  8. Harris was on Oprah just a few days ago. The discussion was about gun control, and Kamala immediately blurted out ” I’m a gun owner! Tim Walz is a gun owner! A shocked Oprah replied “I didn’t know that!” Kamala continued: ” If somebody breaks in my house they’re gettin’ shot! after which she let out her signature wild cackle, rolled her eyes and said “I probably shouldn’t have said that…but my staff will deal with that later.”

  9. Why don’t we start with Hunter Biden, he violated all the measures his loving father just mentioned. Lied on a Federal gun application (in his book he said he was high during the time of purchase), improper storage as his ex sister in law, and girlfriend, took the gun (out of fear he would use it) and put it in a garbage can next to a school. This also falls under the boyfriend clause. Great place to start.

  10. When Trump gets back into the oval office, I hope he keeps the Office of Gun Violence Prevention in place. But, he should change the name to better reflect what it actually does. Call it the Office of Gun Confiscation instead.
    .
    And, keep the current leader of it in place.
