Biden gun rule being drafted to effectively ban private sales: ATF whistleblowers

WASHINGTON — A watchdog group is demanding documents from the Biden administration after whistleblowers alleged that a regulation is under development that would effectively ban private gun sales.
The group, Empower Oversight, said Wednesday that two sources have claimed that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is preparing to propose a rule requiring background checks for most or all gun sales.
President Biden has campaigned for stricter gun laws and in August proposed a regulation to clarify that people who “repetitively” sell guns must register as federally licensed gun dealers subject to background checks.
“The whistleblowers say the rule is being drafted by Senior Policy Counsel Eric Epstein, who worked as the Phoenix Field Office’s Division Counsel during Operation Wide Receiver (a precursor of Operation Fast and Furious).”
Leavitt added: “Such a sweeping rule with the effect of banning private sales would clearly violate the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which declares that ‘the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'”
Empower Oversight sent a Freedom of Information Act request Wednesday to the Justice Department and ATF seeking additional information, including communications with the White House and any Epstein emails involving the alleged plan.

Sorry Mr ATF guy I lost all my privately purchased firearms in a dumpster by a kid’s playground while high on crack cocaine.

Taking the guns first is how they control us. 2A must be protected.
Always.
Always.

It would be nice to have a political party in DC that would cut the budget or at least oversee the ATF.
Stop voting GOPe.

Open boarder
Military age men arriving by the thousands daily
US Army weaker than ever
Now they want the citizens guns
Media gaslighting every step of the way to say the opposite.
Media tells me if my mind questions this I’m a compsiracy theorist.

This sure sounds like impairment of my property without due process.

How would this even be enforced? I sell a gun it’s for cash no record of it.
Though these days I never sell a gun I’m keeping all I have

I know exactly what you meant. Question: Clearly unhinged 18 year old guy begins livestreaming and states details of his plan to terminate as many lives as he can at a local elementary school, but is intentionally vague about when and where. Even shows off his weapon of choice.
Couple of people who know who he is call the police and relay the exact same details. Of course an immediate look at the person’s social media account fully backs it up.
You suggest just go watch him, nothing else? If that even? Say you are watching his home and observe him loading a long slender case into his car. Just keep watching? Despite all those signs and clearly disturbing evidence in this rare but realistic instance, you will hold steadfastly to his Second Amendment right unless and until you are convinced that you’ve finally personally observed what you now personally witnessed to indeed be a gun, problem being he has only made the gun observable as he’s unsheathing it and already within range of 50 kids on the playground.
I’m sold on that. Rights are rights, not even q single set of circumstances outranks it.

A snitch would have to turn you in.
That’s part of the deterrent.
