\"Drilling<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shannon Watts wants to know what\u2019s in your wallet<\/a>. Even more, she wants what\u2019s in your wallet to decide what you can buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Bloomberg\u2019s front woman for his bought-and-paid-for gun control group Moms Demand Action is demanding credit card companies monitor and police cardholder purchases. Specifically, she wants credit card companies to ban purchases of precursor firearm parts. Watts derides them as so-called \u201cghost guns\u201d and wants to ban their sale.\u00a0 Her claim is that the ATF recovered 10,000 of these \u201cghost guns\u201d last year, but those included firearms with obliterated serial numbers and older firearms not legally required to be serialized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the problem. It\u2019s perfectly legal for anyone who can buy a gun to build their own at home. She\u2019s stomping her foot and demanding that credit card companies do what tech companies are doing. She wants them to dictate law and to be the arbiters of what\u2019s legal, of what\u2019s allowed, and what rights law-abiding citizens can exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Buy a Law?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Watts proposes in a Business Insider op-ed<\/a><\/strong> that credit card companies deny purchases of precursor firearm parts. She points to a lawsuit<\/a><\/strong> that her partner gun control organization Everytown for Gun Safety brought against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to force them to regulate 80 percent unfinished receivers as firearms. She conveniently ignores that the Department of Justice filed a motion to dismiss<\/strong><\/a> in a related and coordinated lawsuit filed by Giffords and the California Attorney General. ATF will soon file for summary judgment in the Everytown case.  Among the several reasons the DOJ seeks to dismiss the case is the fact that a receiver blank is not a receiver under the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a firearm receiver crosses the so-called \u201c80 percent\u201d threshold for being finished, manufacturers are required by the law and ATF regulations to serialize the receiver because, under the law, it is a \u201cfirearm.\u201d Everytown\u2019s lawsuit wants to force ATF to define a \u201cframe or receiver\u201d and any part \u201cthat is designed, intended, or marketed to be used in an assembled, operable firearm.\u201d Everytown\u2019s definition would mean that a forging or billet, a solid un-machined block of metal with no holes drilled in it, that a manufacturer would purchase from a supplier, would itself be a \u201cfirearm\u201d requiring the raw material supplier to have an ATF manufacturing license and mark and serialized the forging or billet with its name, location and a serial number. This, of course, is not what the Gun Control Act requires. As ATF explains in moving to dismiss the Giffords case, \u201cCongress has defined \u201cfirearm\u201d with specificity as, inter alia, \u201c(A) any weapon . . . which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive,\u201d or \u201c(B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon.\u201d In doing so, Congress changed the prior definition to explicitly exclude \u201c\u2018any part or parts\u2019 of a firearm,\u201d other than a receiver\u2026. A receiver blank may not \u201creadily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive,\u201d is not \u201cdesigned to . . . expel a projectile\u201d in and of itself and is not itself a \u201creceiver.\u201d It is therefore not a \u201cfirearm\u201d within the meaning of the statute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ATF explains that a \u201creceiver\u201d is \u201c[t]hat part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism, and which is usually threaded at its forward portion to receive the barrel\u201d and how it determines when something is readily convertible.  A forging and so-called \u201c80 percent receivers\u201d are clearly not readily convertible to fire a projectile and so therefore not a frame or receiver of a firearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scaremongering Bogeyman<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Home-built firearms have always been legal. Even before the founding of our nation, Americans were building and assembling firearms in their homes for their private use. This is perfectly legal and is the practice predominantly of hobbyists. The overwhelming majority of firearms in the United States are bought through retail purchases, which are completed with a face-to-face transfer and completed FBI background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). This happened 21 million times last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watts ignores that those who can\u2019t buy a gun at retail also are barred from building and possessing a home-built firearm. If a person is prohibited from buying a firearm at retail, they are also prohibited from possessing a home-built firearm. If a person builds their own firearm at home and sells those firearms to be \u201cin the business\u201d of making and selling a firearm, they must obtain a license from the ATF. Being \u201cin the business\u201d without a license is a felony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirty Deeds<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Watts attempts to make the case that there\u2019s a precedent for credit card companies to take active role with the abhorrent comparison of lawful firearm ownership with sex trafficking and pornography. Watts\u2019 ham-fisted attempt to denigrate law-abiding citizens is as crude as her comparison. It shows that there is no brush too wide for her to use to tar the reputation of law-abiding citizens who choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watts also shows that there\u2019s no idea she\u2019s not willing to co-opt to achieve her gun control agenda. This isn\u2019t the first time the idea of having credit card companies police Americans\u2019 private purchases was floated. New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin pitched<\/a><\/strong> the idea in 2018. He attempted to publicly shame credit card companies for the horrific crimes committed by deranged individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spokespersons for both Visa and Mastercard rejected this idea then. They would be wise to do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Bloomberg, who writes the check for Watts\u2019 Moms Demand, infamously admitted<\/a><\/strong> during a town hall even during his failed presidential bid that he had no problem being protected by guns. After all, he\u2019s rich. But Bloomberg has never had an issue with telling others how to live their lives. Now, he\u2019s got Watts selling his bad ideas of getting credit card companies to climb on board with his big brother gambit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watts might be playing from an outdated playbook, though. This year is different. More than 8.4<\/strong> million<\/strong><\/a> people who never owned a gun before 2020 now have one in their possession. The likelihood of those people buying guns that cost hundreds to thousands of dollars in wads of cash is unlikely. They bought them with a credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guns are just today\u2019s cause du jour. After big tech colluded to silence dissent online, it\u2019s not a stretch to see when those bankrolling these cancel culture campaigns move on from gun control and deny the ability to buy a fossil-fuel-powered car or purchase red meat or any other grievance they become offended by. It took a judge to stop Bloomberg\u2019s Big Gulp ban in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
