US Justice Department Announces Mandatory Fed Background Checks for All Gun Purchases

Universal background checks just dropped.

New federal law.

They are really pushing these things to the limit, no?

This is a massive escalation against the basic freedoms of the people.

The Guardian:

The sale of firearms on the internet and at gun shows in the US will in future be subject to mandatory background checks, the justice department said on Thursday as it announced a “historic” new action to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals.

The closing of the so-called gun show loophole, which exempts private transactions from restrictions that apply to licensed dealers, has long been a goal of the Biden administration, and is specifically targeted in the rule published in the federal register today.

“Under this regulation, it will not matter if guns are sold on the internet, at a gun show, or at a brick-and-mortar store: if you sell guns predominantly to earn a profit, you must be licensed, and you must conduct background checks,” attorney general Merrick Garland told reporters on a press call announcing the measure.

“This regulation is a historic step in the justice department’s fight against gun violence. It will save lives.”

The rule, which clarifies who is considered to be “engaged in the business” as a firearms dealer, will take effect in 30 days’ time, and follows a three-month consultation period that attracted almost 388,000 comments to the website of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

The White House estimates that 22% of guns owned by Americans were acquired without a background check and that about 23,000 more individuals will be required to be licensed as a dealer after the rule’s implementation.

“There is a large and growing black market of guns being sold by people in the business of dealing and doing it without a license, and therefore they are not running background checks the way the law requires,” ATF director Steven Dettelbach said.

“It’s not safe for innocent, law-abiding Americans. In fact, it’s doggone dangerous.”

Remember: anyone who talks about the Constitution as if it is somehow active is full of shit.

Every conservative who goes on and on about the Constitution is a liar and a fraud.

The Constitution has not been active since like, the Civil War.

They have banned all kinds of guns that the Constitution obviously protects. They have passed totally illegal gun control laws in cities. No city is allowed to pass a gun control law. And the government was never allowed to ban full-automatic weapons.

According to the Constitution, you can carry a concealed machine pistol – without any license to do so – on all public property in America. It’s been a very long time since the fed government allowed you to do that.

It’s the same thing with freedom of speech. If you look at what was done to Alex Jones – or to others who have been sued in civil court over what is obviously protected speech (it’s happened to several others) – then you have to admit that the First Amendment is no longer active, at all.

Pretending the Constitution is active simply plays into the hands of the enemy.

There is no Constitution. All that talking about the Constitution does is allow the enemy to claim they represent the Constitution. Actual defenders of America might call for the Constitution to be reinstated, but pretending like “it’s against the Constitution” is somehow a defense of anything is simply absurd.
