As the Supreme Court has issued rulings to defend the Second-Amendment rights of American citizens, the Biden administration is looking for alternative methods of restricting firearms. A newly drafted document aims to restrict private sales of firearms, while other pushes aim to place new restrictions on ammunition manufacturers.
In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss these topics and others, and answer questions from the audience.
hey welcome to Crossroads in this
episode we'll be talking about the
alternative methods of taking away your
guns or restricting your ability to get
them or ammunition because folks as the
Supreme Court has issued rulings to
defend the Second Amendment rights of
American citizens making it so that all
gun laws need to be interpreted with the
original intent of the founding fathers
the Biden Administration and the
Democrats are looking for alternative
methods of restricting Firearms
roundabout ways of doing it now a newly
drafted document aims to restrict
private sale of firearms While others
push to for example Place new
restrictions on your ability to buy
ammunition and there are many things
like this Epic Times had this story it
says President Joe Biden's
Administration has drafted a document
that would require background checks for
all gun sales even transactions between
private citizens according to a
whistleblower group it says the US
Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco firearm arms
and explosives the ATF drafted the 1300
page document which provides legal
justification for a proposed rule that
would require background checks for all
gun sales everything and it's called the
this is according to the Empower
oversight whistleblowers and researcher
research now the document that was
drafted allegedly by the Obama Sorry by
the Biden Administration maybe the same
thing at the direction of the White
House according to the two
whistleblowers who communicate with the
organization this is what it is but it
says that according to empower oversight
their letter to attorney general Meritt
Garin head of the US Department of
Justice the rule proposed in that
document represents an overreach of
executive branch power and this is the
argument for it that'll give my take
they say such an expansive rule that
threats that treats all private citizens
the same as federal firearms
licenses would circumvent the separation
of powers in the Constitution which
grants all legislative powers to
Congress while requiring that the
president take care of the laws be that
the laws be Faithfully executed in other
words they're suggesting that Biden is
overstepping his Constitutional Powers
by bypassing Congress to push something
that probably would not make it past
Congress now remember that Barack Obama
kind of ruled by executive order mainly
in his second term in office he was
issuing executive orders and many people
said he was doing that to avoid Congress
because at the time Republicans
controlled Congress Obama would able to
do anything otherwise and so he found a
roundabout way to governed by decree
Biden interestingly is alleged to be
planning to do this with Firearms they
note further in to the extent that such
a rule prevents the private sale of
firearms it would also clearly violate
the Second Amendment of the United
States Constitution which declares that
the right of the people to keep and bear
arms shall not be infringed now
it's an interesting move right now
because if you remember the US Supreme
Court the law of the nation recently
made the determination that all gun you
know laws in the US need to be
interpreted through the lens of the
founding fathers
the the nature of how guns and gun laws
were interpreted in in the time of the
founding of this country and of course
if you go back then what was the
standard well it was these laws these
rights shall not be infringed the
founding fathers essentially believe
there should be zero restrictions on
firearms and any kind of restrictions of
any type would be deemed
unconstitutional were that the case now
of course the interpretation as time has
gone on is well there are new types of
guns there are automatic weapons there's
artillery there's cannons there's all
kinds of crazy stuff do we let them have
it well in the time of the founding
fathers yeah you could actually own
artillery and cannons in fact that was
one of the big challenges Texas had when
they said come and take it to the
Spanish government at the time now given
all of this though what does this
represent what you're seeing is an
attempt to regulate the ownership of
firearms by going after things that do
not direct include the direct ownership
because the Constitution the way it's
being interpreted right the way that
it's being manipulated right now the
Constitution says that you can own them
but the government is saying well you
can own them but can you buy them you
can own them but what about the
ammunition you can own them but maybe we
can require you to have background
checks you can own them but we have to
have a registry if you own them you can
own them but we will heavily tax the
companies that manufacture them you can
own them but we can try to shut down the
businesses that provide them to you so
that it's more difficult to get them you
see where it's going and so all the
areas surrounding the issue of ownership
are being attacked through different
forms of laws and this roundabout way is
the method currently being used to try
to restrict the ownership of firearms
this indirect anti-gun approach I'll
give you a couple examples of this now
this is actually part of a broader
agenda we just talked about of course
the rumors the Biden Administration is
drafting this legislation I think it's
probably trth well I guess it's not
legislation but let go through the
legislative branch probably an executive
order but right now gun restrictions
that focus on things other than the guns
themselves this is the tool being used
you can take for example one part of
this the push to restrict Guns by
forcing people to take classes to get
the permits now a lot of people would
say well what's wrong with that uh if
you're going to own a gun doesn't it
make sense that youd take a class to
know how to use it you know you want to
make sure that you know how to clean it
properly that you know uh where the
safety is that you know how to ratchet
it and so on you know just basic
tutorial type stuff well fine and dandy
right people should have an idea of how
to use a gun in my opinion but the issue
is because in some areas they've placed
the licensing of these trainers under
the state they've found that they can
restrict the purchase of firearms by
limiting the number of trainers that
they allow to be you know operating
Washington examiner said this a national
group that Champions concealed carry
rights warns warned of a growing effort
to limit the distribution of permits to
carry firearms on Wednesday says the US
Concealed Carry Association for saving
lives action fund told secrets that it
has started a campaign to stop States
from using backdoor tactics to make
getting permits harder it says the
campaign is focused on a Virginia
lawmaker's proposal to remove the US
Concealed Carry Association and na
National Rifle Association as the groups
in charge of safety education classes
required to get a permit in other words
these private proun organizations that
currently are able to you know hold
classes to get you your permit they're
trying to make it so it's no longer
under them instead it says the proposal
from Democrat Senator uh this is Dan
helmar would put the state Democrat
State D Dan helmar sorry would put this
state government in charge of the
education curriculum so are you getting
that rather than have it being run
through these external private
organizations they want to have the
government in charge of the curriculum
and notably in charge of the process now
they note that a similar setup to this
in California has led to a dramatic cut
in the number of permits issued because
the state cut the pool of instructors
according to Media reports and so in
another words the state says well you
know what we can't have these
third-party organizations determining
what the safety standards are this needs
to be regulated we need to make sure
people are being taught properly so the
state should manage it the state manages
it and what do they do they make it so
that they only have a few instructors so
there's a very long waiting line and by
regulating that waiting line and
regulating the amount of classes they
give and regulating the number of people
who can attend those classes they're
then able to regulate the flow through
which people are able to get Concealed
Carry Permits by regulating the process
they regulate the Firearms you see now
it says the group said the legislation
would create a back door to restricting
access to Concealed Carry Permits
placing politicians in full control of
how Virginia can exercise their
fundamental right to self-defense and
there's more there's also the other big
restriction which is coming down the
pipeline right now which is well they
can't ban the guns but well what about
the
ammunition and you do see some issues
with this already Democrats were pushing
this very hard across the country in
California they tried even making
background checks to buy ammunition okay
you know so we can't do this whole
process to buy you know have you buy
guns but what about we create the same
type of process you would need to buy a
gun if want to buy ammo and of course
the Supreme Court struck that down just
recently but their finding is well well
we can't go after that we can't require
American citizens to have to go through
the entire background check process and
everything else to buy some ammunition
but what if we make it harder for the
businesses that sell ammunition to
operate what if we regulate the
licensing for the businesses what if we
make it so that it's harder for them to
find the materials needed to manufacture
the ammunition what if we make it so
they can't manufacture ammunition and
they have to shut down they have to go
to external companies in other parts of
the world to buy it what if we do that
well that's part of what they're doing
right now Fox News says that every
Republican attorney general in the
country blasted the Democrat
counterparts for attempting to shutter
an ammunition Factory in Missouri a
letter sent to the White House Wednesday
revealed in a letter obtained to
exclusively by Fox News digital all 28
GOP Republican Attorneys General asked
President Biden and White House off
office of gun violence prevention
director Stephanie Feldman to discard
their Democrat colleagues request to end
commercial sales from Lake City Army
ammunition plant one of the country's
largest ammo
manufacturers it says Democrats had
previously asked the administration of
Biden admin to investigate the
Contracting and Manufacturing practices
of the plant after the New York Times
report alleged that a mil military grade
rounds were sold commercially and were
connected to mass shootings but the
Republicans say the Democrat letter
contained a Litany of errors and folks
what is a military grade round how do
you define a military grade round and
when have military grade weapons or
ammunition ever been restricted in the
United States keep in of the time of the
founding fathers the muskets they used
were very much military grade weapons
the musket ammo was very much military
grade
ammunition and of course military uses a
whole range of ammunition in Firearms
including not very good ones frankly
depending on which country's military
you're talking about and of course even
if you go by Era different Aras of
firearms You could argue that very old
guns are military guns you could argue
that a musket is a military rifle
technically you know these muzzle
loaders with black powder you could say
oh that used to be a military weapon
it's a military weapon and we can
restrict it and they're using this
narrative pushed by uh the greatest
disinformation Outlet there probably is
New York Times in order to frame this
now they say this in the letter say
perhaps those States should focus more
on Prosecuting crime to stop mass
shootings because notably a lot of mass
shootings happen in no gun zones rather
than trying to stop lawful Americans use
of guns and ammunition their tactic is
an overt attempt to punish Americans
exercise of the Second Amendment rights
and this is according to these GOP
Attorneys General Now notes that among
the list of Errors because they said
there's a Litany of errors that they
pointed out and they they said this they
say the Democrats alleged that
ammunition manufactured for military use
does not belong in
communities and again how do you say
what a what ammunition manufactured for
military use is how do you begin to
Define that because again they use a
very broad list of you know they they
use a very broad range of ammunition in
the military and of course this has
never been an issue of restricting them
in the past this is the same narrative
they use by the way to try to restrict
assault rifles which is not really even
clearly defined by the way the nature
the the nature of the narrative assault
rifle is merely a media narrative and a
political narrative it does not have
actual tangible features at least not
until very recently when the left has
been forced to say well what is an
assault rifle um they're using the same
narrative military grade rifles in
Americans hands in order to restrict
ammunition military grade ammunition in
Americans hands and guess what well and
another very odd Twist of things it
turns out that the key components for
man for ammunition Supply is coming from
very unlikely sources guess where it's
coming from folks the key resources that
we depend on to manufacture ammunition
including like artillery are China and
Russia I'll be talking more about the
major consequences all of this is going
to have on Americans especially if we
don't bring it home domestically only on
