Tonight, @JoeBiden will be delivering the #StateOfTheUnionAddress. He will try & frame gun owners as problematic & firearms as more than tools of self-defense. He will try & frame gun control as a win, but we know better & GOA will fight every gun control proposal Biden proposes.
Republicans working with @JoeBiden to pass the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization is just one more examples of @SenateGOP negotiating your gun rights away!
💡💡💡
Amendment idea for @JoeBiden's Junk Fee Prevention Act: How about we get rid of the unconstitutional $200 tax stamp that gun owners have to pay @ATFHQ to register their guns under the archaic National Firearms Act of 1934?
@JoeBiden@ATFHQ How can @JoeBiden recount that whole story and miss the biggest takeaway: California's so-called "Assault Weapons" Ban did NOTHING to protect those celebrating the Lunar New Year.
Biden again proposes an “Assault Weapons Ban.”
The only problem is criminals don’t follow the law. A ban would ONLY disarm law-abiding Americans and make them prime targets for criminals and tyrants. #StateOfTheUnion
During his #StateOfTheUnion@JoeBiden gave a shoutout to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Compromise AKA the Cornyn-Murphy gun control betrayal.
It made no communities safer, disarmed Americans, & made people less safe. @JohnCornyn betrayed his constituents & America.

The new @ATFHQ rule to create backdoor Universal Registration Checks is FULL of severely unconstitutional infringements.
This rogue agency is being empowered by a rogue executive branch who flat out hates gun owners.
Here's what we found so far.⤵️
The original rumors of the rule suggested anyone who sold five or more firearms could have to register as an FFL and conduct background checks, however the official released version says selling even ONE FIREARM without a license would be illegal.🤯
Just in case you thought the ATF was going to be clear and concise on this rule, think again!
Here are four pages of what you CAN'T do and then a catch all sentence that says it is "not exhaustive."🙄
📣 We found the #guncontrol in the Senate National Defense Authorization Act of 2024! #NDAA
Anti-gunners are trying to amend the bill to reauthorize the Undetectable Firearms Act ⤵️
BACKGROUND: The Undetectable Firearms Act, was passed in 1988 in response to no particular threat and has been useless during its 35 years of existence. 🙄
However, it affects every polymer firearm and does pose a threat to gun owners legally owned firearms.
Under the Undetectable Firearms Act:
1️⃣any gun with an undetectable “major component” is banned
2️⃣major component = frame or receiver of the firearm
And @JoeBiden is redefining “a frame or receiver” to mean “gun parts". This bill threatens EVERY gun with plastic gun parts.
U.S. Office of Special Counsel (@US_OSC) investigators say the amount of FRAUD:
"Could be much higher [than $20 million] given that the unlawful job classifications had been common practice at @ATFHQ far longer than the five-year time frame reviewed by investigators."
President Biden (@POTUS) announced an executive order to implement backdoor universal background registration checks (UBCs) WITHOUT CONGRESS OR A NEW LAW. 😠
This is a direct violation of the Constitution & will do NOTHING to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals.
Data shows that a majority of denied NICS background checks are FALSE POSITIVES.
But yeah, let’s do MORE background checks through a failed and failing system and delay law abiding citizens access to firearms. Government logic. 🙄
Of course, @JoeBiden will also be spending $231 MILLION on publicity campaigns to teach EVERYONE how to “red flag” gun owners & have their guns confiscated.🚩🚩
For that, you can thank the @SenateGOP who voted for @JohnCornyn’s Compromise & the $1.7 trillion gov’t funding bill!
GOA leaked @ATFHQ's internal guidelines with @foxnews that shows the agency is unfairly targeting federal firearms licensees. This policy is known as the "zero tolerance" policy, and it is shutting down gun stores left and right.
The policy says the ATF "has zero tolerance for willful violations that greatly affect public safety and ATF’s ability to trace firearms recovered in violent crimes," and that "revocation" of the FFL’s license "is the assumed action" with first-time violations.
What does this mean?
It means if the ATF deems any FFL action a "willful violation," then they skip all warning letters & conferences and:
"Millions of Americans are facing a very tight deadline to destroy or register their lawfully owned property under this draconian new rule. We hope the court will hear the pleas of gun owners across the country who will be irrevocably harmed by this rule." @erichmpratt
“This is yet another attempt by the Biden Admin to create a workaround to the U.S. Constitution & expand gun registration in America. This rule is dangerous and unconstitutional, and I’m hopeful that this lawsuit will ensure that it is never allowed to take effect.”" @KenPaxtonTX
