ICYMI: @Rep_Clyde & @RepTedBudd ROASTED @ATFHQ for the new "proposed rules," which are actually gun control by executive fiat

Reps. Clyde & Budd are the only Federal Firearms License holders (FFLs) in Congress! Check out their letter in defense of YOUR #SecondAmendment rights!⤵
"As federal firearm licensees turned Members of Congress, we see right through @ATFHQ's CHARADE to chip away at the #SecondAmendment & unilaterally expand its own influence and authority.

"We urge you to reverse course immediately. (1/7)
"It was Congress that defined the term 'firearm' in statute, not @ATFHQ

"But the ATF, through executive overreach, is positioning itself to blatantly usurp Congress's legislative authority by proposing broad & arbitrary definitions of industry terms[!] (2/7)
"This is another expansion of power and another step towards establishing a national registry of firearms or firearm owners, AN ACTION PROHIBITED BY LAW. (3/7)
"@ATFHQ's maligned intent is evident & purposeful as the agency continues its partisan effort to fulfill the @JoeBiden administration's radical gun control agenda (4/7)
"The American people recognize the ATF's proposed actions for exactly what they are: blatant attempts to dismantle the natural right to self-defense—enshrined in the Constitution—that allows them to exercise and defend all other enumerated rights. (5/7)
"The Founding Fathers knew the first step towards tyranny is to disarm the citizenry

"They enumerated this foundational right to keep & bear arms to ensure the American people had the ability to protect themselves from a treacherous government that sought tyranny (6/7)
"We are deeply troubled by the fact that the @ATFHQ appears more interested in attacking the Constitution than it is in upholding it

"[W]e urge you to join us in upholding the Constitution and withdraw the proposed regulations immediately"

- @Rep_Clyde & @RepTedBudd 🔥🔥🔥(7/7)

🚨@GunOwners is aware of the Biden @StateDept Notice that:

"[n]ew and pending permit applications for the permanent importation of firearms & ammunition manufactured or located in Russia will be subject to a policy of denial."

GOA statement in thread⤵️
state.gov/fact-sheet-uni…
We recognize the devastating implications these sanctions would have on individual gun owners amidst a national ammunition shortage.

@GunOwners is currently exploring administrative, congressional, and legal avenues to respond to these new sanctions.
Once again, the @JoeBiden Administration's actions are misplaced.

Ending imports by licensed importers will not stop drug dealers, murderers and other assorted street criminals.

🚨BREAKING: Pistol-braced Gun BAN Incoming

@JoeBiden’s @ATFHQ & @TheJusticeDepartment released new proposed regulations surrounding the popular accessory known as a “Pistol Stabilizing Brace”

Almost NO existing pistol-braced firearms pass ATF’s new arbitrary pistol test⤵️
Today’s proposed rulemaking on pistol-braced firearms represents a gross abuse of executive authority.

Millions of otherwise law-abiding gun owners now will be forced to destroy, register, or surrender their lawfully-acquired pistol-braced firearms.

gunowners.org/goa-commits-to…
⚠️ It appears that ATF has intentionally designed its Factoring Criteria for Rifled Barrel Weapons w/ Accessories Commonly Referred to as “Stabilizing Braces” to effect a complete ban of every pistol-braced firearm currently on the market

🚨GOA Responds to ATF's Redefinition of ‘Frame or Receiver’& Identification of Firearms

"If @ATFHQ fails to withdraw GOA & GOF stand ready to challenge the agency’s resulting lawless actions every step of the way"

Read @GunOwners comments⤵️
gunowners.com/ATF-Comments
"@ATFHQ repudiates its existing regulatory definition of “the frame or receiver," claim[s it] has never actually applied to anything[&]simply ignored it—deliberately misinterpreting & misapplying its own rule even while chiding federal courts for not participating in the charade"
"ATF attempts to explain what it means by claiming that an item becomes a firearm when it 'may readily be completed'–defining 'readily' by changing the statutory term 'readily be converted' to 'readily be assembled, completed, converted, or restored.'"
