Well, this was basically just the greatest hits of talking points President Biden has been using on guns for decades now. Nothing new in this press conference beyond what the White House put out there morning which you can read the details of here: thereload.com/white-house-re…
Biden's new proposal doubles down on gun control but it consists mostly of calls for new legislation, such as an "assault weapons" ban that has no chance of passing and a "zero-tolerance" policy for licensed dealers that "willfully" violate the law. thereload.com/white-house-re…
This biggest new initiative is actually Biden's plan to open up $350 billion in American Rescue Plan funds for localities to hire new police officers. He wants to re-fund the police which puts him at odds with much of his own party. thereload.com/white-house-re…
The same money will also be made available for community violence intervention programs in a number of major cities. Those programs use community members instead of police to ID disputes and try to intervene with those involved before they become violent. thereload.com/white-house-re…

Exclusive: 48 Republican Senators Demand Withdraw of Pistol Brace Ban That Would Affect Millions thereload.com/exclusive-repu…
Nearly the entire Republican caucus just signed on to a letter slamming President Biden's proposal to register or confiscate millions of guns equipped with stabilizing pistol braces. Read about it first over at @TheReloadSite: thereload.com/exclusive-repu…
"Rather than cracking down on the criminals who are turning America’s cities into warzones, ATF and the Department of Justice have decided to go after law-abiding gun owners who are minding their own business and using equipment that ATF seemingly blessed in 2017,” they said.

White House Renews Gun-Control Push Amid Murder Surge thereload.com/white-house-re…
Biden wants to address the nearly-25-percent jump in murder by passing an "assault weapons" ban, national "red flag" law, and repeal of liability protections for gun makers. He is implementing a new "zero-tolerance" policy for gun dealers who "willfully" violate regulations.
The primary focus of the strategy is on increasing enforcement efforts against gun makers and dealers. But that's unlikely to produce immediate benefits since ATF data shows most guns recovered in crimes were sold years or even decades beforehand. thereload.com/white-house-re…

Analysis: The Real Danger of the New Texas Silencer Law thereload.com/analysis-the-r…
Silencers don't work like they do on TV. They're rarely used in crime. Decriminaling them is unlikely to create many problems. But Texas telling its citizens it can nullify federal law could create unsuspecting federal felons as recent history shows. thereload.com/analysis-the-r…
As Kevin Williamson pointed out in @NRO, Wickard and Raich are bad decisions which imply the feds have unlimited power through the commerce clause to regulate nearly any action even if it isn't interstate or, really, commerce. It's sensible to want to chip away at this concept.

On the ground at the Gun Makers Match. Today should be interesting. Make sure you follow @TheReloadSite
Lots of fascinating people and gun builds here today. It's a pretty nerdy vibe too. There are a lot of technical discussions on 3D printing techniques.
These guys are very into swag too. Cool stuff.

This is a great way to get yourself arrested and charged with a federal felony. This stunt didn't work for Kansas and it's unlikely to work for Texas or states.
If someone wants to violate the NFA in order to challenge its constitutionality in court they should do so knowing the possible negative outcome (years in federal prison). These state laws give people a false sense that what they're doing won't get them in serious legal trouble.
It's one thing to say you won't use state or local resources to enforce gun laws you don't agree with. It's another entirely to suggest your state or local law can protect people from federal laws. That's a legal theory people shouldn't unknowingly bet their life on.

The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on President Biden's ATF nominee today. It's likely the vote will tie and his nomination will likely remain in the committee. If the Democrats move to discharge him to a full floor vote it will mean they are confident he has 50 votes.
You can watch the vote here starting at 9am: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/06/10…
The Senate Judiciary Committee meeting is starting now.
