Countering Biden’s push to erode Second Amendment rights – The Highland County Press

By U.S. Sen. Mike CrapoR-IdahoPresident Biden and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco recently announced the nomination of Steve Dettelbach to serve as Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

They also used the opportunity to reiterate the administrations hard stance against so-called ghost guns and its efforts to extend firearms record-keeping requirements that risk establishing an unlawful gun registry.

The administration is using all of its tools, including circumventing the legislative process, to go after law-abiding gun owners and firearms vendors. I do not support more gun control.

Burdening law-abiding citizens of this country with additional gun restrictions is not the answer to safeguarding the public. I continue to oppose all efforts to weaken Second Amendment rights.

ATF Nomination Steve Dettelbachs nomination to lead the ATF is rightly concerning, as it would put a person who has voiced support for eroding Second Amendment rights in charge of the federal law enforcement agency responsible for enforcing gun laws. At President Bidens direction, the ATF has begun broadening restrictions, including returning to the outrageous practice of repressing firearms licensees for de minimis (trivial) grammatical errors in their record keeping.

Ghost Guns The Biden administration has taken a hard stance against so-called ghost guns, or guns built from unserialized gun assembly kits. The ATF finalized rule 2021R-05, Definition of Frame or Receiver and Identification of Firearms, that would redefine firearm receivers in order to require them to have serial numbers. Additionally, President Biden created a National Ghost Gun Enforcement Initiative focused on prosecuting criminals who use ghost guns in crimes.

However, data concerning the use of ghost guns in crimes is limited, and reported numbers on confiscated guns are not limited to those used to commit crimes. The administration should focus its resources on pursuing dangerous criminals, not scapegoating hobbyists.

Firearms Record Keeping I am also deeply concerned by the ATFs admission it is cataloguing and digitizing business records from shuttered federal firearms licensees (FFLs).

Current federal law requires FFLs to keep their records of firearm transfers for 20 years, at which point they can be destroyed. Should an FFL close its business, it must turn its records over to the ATF, which maintains them at the National Tracing Center.

The final rule 2021R-05 would extend record-keeping requirements by requiring FFLs to retain key records until they shut down their business or licensed activity. The Firearms Owners Protection Act prohibits the federal government from creating a national gun registry. The ATF must adhere to this law and cease any efforts to create a de facto gun registry.

The ATFs excessive rulemaking is deeply troubling, and I am countering its bureaucratic overreach:

I am an original co-sponsor of S. 1920, the ATF Accountability Act, that would ensure firearms manufacturers and lawful gun owners are not subject to unchecked bureaucratic ATF rulings;

I joined in pressing the ATF on its use of secret internal guidance to enforce regulations not openly published; and

I joined in demanding the ATF provide answers on recent actions to prevent law-abiding citizens from creating and owning suppressors.

These are just some of the recent efforts underway to protect and preserve our constitutional right to bear arms.

Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) characterized the Administrations push for more gun restrictions as a distraction from the reality that the explosion of crime in blue cities is directly attributable to those same cities implementing de-policing, installing progressive prosecutors, and enacting disastrous bail reform policies.

I agree and will continue to press for policies that truly get at the root cause of the violent crime problem without compromising law-abiding citizens constitutional rights.

The Politics of Hunting in Pennsylvania – PoliticsPA

Written by Steve Ulrich, Managing Editor

In the past week, Pennsylvania residents have been subjected to TV ads featuring U.S. Senate candidate Dave McCormick firing a series of weapons, showing his experience as a teenage hunter, a West Point cadet and a solider in Iraq.

Im Dave McCormick and I approve this message to protect the second amendment because thats what guarantees the rest.

Today, Mehmet Oz released a new ad showing the celebrity doctor from New Jersey handling a rifle, explaining how his father taught him about how to handle a rifle and that he is passing along the same lesson to his son.

Its about our constitutional right to protect ourselves from intruders or an overly intrusive government, said Oz in his ad.

Four years ago, Conor Lamb introduced himself to the Commonwealth with a video that stated he served four years in the Marines. Still loves to shoot.

In 2020, the Pennsylvania Game Commission reported over 887,000 general hunting licenses for residents of the Commonwealth. The Commission estimated hunters took 435,180 deer during the 2020-21 seasons.

No other state in the Northeast can match those numbers, not even when taking landmass into account, the Game Commission wrote highlighting the season.

Pennsylvania by the numbers Percent of residents with paid hunting licenses: 7.3% (24th out of 50 states) Total paid hunting license holders: 930,815 Total hunting license, tags, permits and stamps: 2,646,720 Gross cost of all hunting licenses: $36,873,199

But this appears to be more than just about hunting for sport.

A little over a decade ago, the Supreme Court redefined the Second Amendment. Before then, in the eyes of the federal courts, the amendment protected the rights of state militias to bear arms not the rights of individual Americans. That all changed in 2008 with the stroke of a pen.

The scale of Second Amendment arms puts firearms into context. To be sure, Americans possess hundreds ofmillions of guns. But researchers trace most firearms tomultiple-gun owners, and about half to super-owners the three percent of the adult population that owns 17 guns on average.

Most eligible Americans do not possess firearms, and the percentage of households that do has dropped in recent decades, according to onecommonly cited survey, from 47 percent in 1980 to 31 percent in 2014.On an individual level, that survey found that only 22 percent of American adults own a firearm; 78 percent do not.Far more people own knives for the basic reason that they have broader utility in day-to-day life. Some Second Amendment scholars havecalled knives the most common arm in the United States.

Politicians supported by gun rights groups similarly assume that the Second Amendment is just about guns. In fact, the Republican Partys official platform conflates gun rights and SecondAmendment rights:

We uphold the right of individuals to keep and bear arms, a natural inalienable right that predates theConstitution and is secured by the Second Amendment. Lawful gun ownership enables Americans toexercise their God-given right of self-defense for the safety of their homes, their loved ones, and their communities.

As the days count down to the primary election on May 17, we will continue to see candidates utilizing hunting and firearms to make their case for who is the most Pennsylvanian.

The French election and the international revolt against the ruling ‘elites’ – The knoxville focus

By Dr. Harold A. Black

blackh@knoxfocus.com

haroldblackphd.com

The latest French election shows voter discontent with the establishment. The incumbent was primarily challenged by the same far right candidate that was soundly vanquished in the last election. However, this year, the election was closer than predicted with the ruling party garnering less than 50% of the vote dictating a second round runoff. The challengers party was openly racist and pro-Nazi when it was founded with its sole issue being the massive immigration of Muslims into France. Today its rhetoric is softer. The party now speaks of independence from the European Union, the removal of French forces from the command of NATO and amending the French constitution to limit immigration.

In last weeks runoff, the opposition party ended up with less than 50 percent of the vote but the French discontentment was still evident. It is almost identical to the discontentment with the Biden Administration. The Wall Street Journal called the discontent a cultural alienation from a progressive hegemony in the Wests academic, media and artistic institutions and resistance to the new religion of universal climate change compliance with its costly implications for energy customers and seething fury with the little autocrats in government and health bureaucracies decreeing lockdowns, masks and vaccine mandates. underlying it all, righteous indignation at the arrogance of unaccountable elites who dismiss opposition to their authority as the product of bigotry and ignorance and denounce anyone displaying it as a traitor or a domestic terrorist. Sound familiar?

The incumbent, Emmanuel Macron won but acknowledged that many voted for him as the lesser of two evils. A few on the American Left have said that if Macron could be re-elected with his low popularity, then there is hope for Biden. I am no expert on the sagacity of French leadership but Macron is no Joe Biden. Here our problems are compounded by the ineptitude of our leadership. We, too, must endure the lefts obsession over climate change, open borders and Covid mandates. Add to that Afghanistan, gender identity, transgender athletes, Critical Race Theory, the woke military, inflation, shutting down pipelines, shackling oil and gas, the Build Back Better fiasco, the surge in crime and the war on parents where the attorney general was investigating parents attending PTA meetings as domestic terrorists.

The difference between the French election and our forthcoming election is that the opposition is projected to win. If Republicans win both the House and the Senate, then Biden will try to enact his changes through edict something that the progressives in Congress have been urging all along. No Biden budget would pass both Houses. No radical progressive would be confirmed by the Senate. Republicans would have the power to effectively shut down the Biden agenda and throttle back actions taken by those in the administration who think that climate change is the existential crisis of our time. I find it remarkable that so much damage has been done to our economy and our national psyche in so short a time.

We are confronted with elected officials who want to severely curtail our freedoms, re-write the Constitution, pack the Supreme Court, eliminate the Electoral College, abolish the Senate, cancel our culture, muzzle free speech and annul the second amendment. We take to heart the words of Abraham Lincoln: Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. Amen.
