The ATF’s new ‘loophole fix’ is going to BOIL YOUR BLOOD



A new rule has been proposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in order to fix a so-called “gun show loophole.” The rule will crack down on gun owners who sell their guns at gun shows by increasing what is already required to obtain a federal firearms license for gun sellers across the country.

According to ATF Director Steven Dettelbach, “an increasing number of individuals engaged in the business of selling firearms for profit have chosen not to register as a federal firearms licensee, as required by law. Instead, they’ve sought to make money through the off-book, illicit sale of firearms.”

Glenn Beck knows what they’re doing, and he doesn’t like it.

“They are clearly going after and saying ‘These people are trying to make money,’” Glenn says.

"They’re really working hard to keep us safe.”

The ATF has also issued rules that would apply to more security checks on gun owners and sellers who use unregulated stabilizing braces to effectively transform pistols into more deadly rifles.

Glenn believes that in order to enforce a rule of this kind, the ATF would have to implement a federal gun registry — which Congress has opposed since the founding of our nation.

“To be able to enforce this, they have to have a gun registry. And the ATF has started a federal gun registry,” he says. “Congress has been against that since 1791.”

Despite the history, Glenn doesn’t have much faith in Congress any more.

“Congress has stopped doing their job, and I’ll tell you why they did it: because they just want to be re-elected. That’s it. They don’t want to do anything unpopular, they just want to be the ones that you call up and say ‘Hey, good job,’ or ‘You gotta stop these guys,’ so they can be the police,” he explains.

However, even if Congress was doing its job, Glenn believes these new rules are purely “inflammatory.”

“They know what this causes. This causes all kinds of agitation, this causes all kinds of distrust, and they’re never going to come for guns,” he says, before asking co-host Stu Burguiere if he thinks they’ll actually go door to door to take Americans’ guns.

“God, I hope not,” Stu responds.

Biden called out for oft-repeated lies during gun control speech



President Joe Biden was called out for lying to the American people in a speech about gun control Thursday, during which he repeated a debunked claim about the supposed "gun show loophole" and falsely claimed that gun manufacturers are "exempt from being sued."

What are the details?

Earlier Thursday, the White House issued a news release announcing six executive actions aimed at addressing what the Biden administration called a "gun violence public health epidemic" facing America. The new actions included forthcoming regulations on so-called "ghost guns" and pistol braces, as well as the creation of a model "red flag" law for the states.

Then, during a Rose Garden speech summarizing the actions Thursday afternoon, Biden called on Congress to greatly expand the initiatives and pass laws banning assault weapons, eliminating gun manufacturer immunity, and ending the "gun show loophole."

The problem is, the latter two actions highlighted by the president are talking points not truth, and Washington Free Beacon firearms expert Stephen Gutowski wasn't about to let Biden's deception go unnoticed.

In a pair of tweets, Gutowski explained, "Biden just lied about how background checks work. He said gun shows are exempt from background check requirements. That is completely false. All that matters in terms of background checks is whether you are buying from a licensed dealer or not."

He added: "Biden also falsely said gun manufacturers are 'the only outfit that's exempt from being sued.' Biden wants to repeal the [Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act] which only prevents lawsuits based on the criminal misuse of their products by third parties. Gun makers can [be] & are sued for other reasons."

The gun show loophole is an oft-repeated myth that seemingly will not die. As the Federalist pointed out back when then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was calling for the end of the magical loophole, "It does not exist. There is no loophole in federal law that specifically exempts gun show transactions from any other laws normally applied to gun sales. Not one."

The only time a background check is not required under federal law is when two private residents of the same state who are not federal firearms licensees engage in a transaction of a firearm. It's the identity of the parties involved in the transaction that matters, not the venue.

As for the claim that gun manufacturers are "exempt from being sued," well that's patently false, too. Gutowski rightly points out that while the PLCAA, also known as the Child Safety Lock Act, protects manufacturers from liability when people use their products to commit crimes, firearms makers are still legally allowed to be sued in numerous other ways.

Anything else?

Making matters worse, White House press secretary Jen Psaki appeared to repeat one of the president's lies during a White House press briefing a few hours later.

When she was asked by a reporter, "Is it the president's belief that you do not have to undergo a background check when you are at a gun show?" Psaki seemed to misunderstand the question and responded in a way that implicitly affirmed the myth.

"No it's not his belief. He believes that background checks should be universal," she said.
