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

Former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords, who heads up the gun control group bearing her name, is spinning tales and vilifying the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) to advance President Joe Biden\u2019s shared gun grab visions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giffords penned an op-ed<\/strong><\/a> in The Philadelphia Inquirer calling for nationwide universal background checks on all firearm transfers. She claims this is what America needs but couldn\u2019t be more wrong. America doesn\u2019t need more background checks. America needs better background checks. That\u2019s exactly what NSSF has been fighting for since 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSSF\u2019s FixNICS\u00ae<\/strong><\/a> campaign is focused on improving the FBI\u2019s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) so the background check system works as it was intended. The firearm industry spearheaded this initiative and changed laws in 16 states and in Congress to ensure all disqualifying adjudicated mental health and criminal records are submitted to the FBI. Since NSSF started this effort, submission of disqualifying records to the FBI increased 270 percent, from about 1.7 million in 2012 to over 6.14 million in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pennsylvania, where Giffords is stumping for gun control, is one of the most improved states because of the firearm industry\u2019s efforts, not Giffords\u2019 gun control. In 2012, Pennsylvania submitted just one disqualifying mental health record to the FBI. The firearm industry changed that. Today, 944,974 records are submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, Giffords demands Congress act to push for universal background checks<\/strong><\/a> without clarifying that the murderer, who took six innocent lives and wounded Giffords, passed the very background check she demands. She overlooks that the background check her attacker passed didn\u2019t account for his noted drug abuse, his violent outbursts or declining state of mental health. Better laws were needed to stop the likes of her attacker, not more laws that would infringe on the rights of those who obey the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gun Control Lies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Giffords\u2019 troubles with the truth don\u2019t end there. She claims that 90 percent of surveyed gun owners support universal background checks. That\u2019s not the entire story<\/a><\/strong>. The fact is the most recent attempt for universal background checks in Congress, H.R. 8, was rammed through without even debate and passed on near-party lines. Colion Noir, attorney and Second Amendment advocate, took apart<\/strong><\/a> this myth over the vague wording and what the question leaves out. What is never asked is if Americans agree with being put on a national gun registry \u2013 a watchlist \u2013 simply for exercising Constitutional rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giffords wasn\u2019t done though. She claimed unlicensed gun dealers are selling guns wholesale in America. She\u2019s dancing with words to confuse readers. There are licensed firearm retailers<\/a><\/strong> and private sellers. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) regulates firearm retailers. Private parties are able to sell firearms within the laws of their states, some of which require background checks before transferring a firearm. Anyone else selling guns for profit without a license has an entirely different category. That\u2019s criminal. The firearm industry wants criminals locked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giffords blasted Members of Congress for failing to pass any meaningful legislation to improve public safety when it comes to firearms. Again, this is false. Congress passed, and President Donald Trump signed into law, the FIX NICS Act<\/strong><\/a> in 2018, named for NSSF\u2019s program, because it demanded what NSSF has pushed for since 2013. It compels federal agencies and incentivizes states to submit all disqualifying mental health records. It passed with broad bipartisan support, with 78 U.S. Senators co-sponsoring the law. That was the firearm industry leading that effort for real change and real safety. Giffords was on the sidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Losing Gambit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

None of Giffords lambasting the firearm industry is a surprise. She\u2019s grown\u00a0increasingly frustrated<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0with NSSF because the firearm industry has consistently and routinely shined a light on her half-truths and extremist gun control spin. That\u2019s evident even now. NSSF is leading the opposition to her and antigun billionaire Michael Bloomberg\u2019s hand-selected puppet David Chipman, whom President Joe Biden nominated to lead the ATF. NSSF ran\u00a0television advertising<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for the very first time to inform senators and their voters of Chipman\u2019s gun control ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest opponent to David Chipman\u2019s nomination for ATF Director?

It\u2019s not gun owners\u2014it\u2019s the gun industry.

Chipman\u2019s confirmation is literally a matter of life or death\u2014but to the NSSF, it\u2019s about their ability to sell more weapons. https:\/\/t.co\/RzLlatyBsA<\/a><\/p>— Giffords (@GiffordsCourage) July 23, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

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

This is the man who couldn\u2019t define<\/strong><\/a> \u201cassault weapons\u201d when asked under oath but wants to ban them. If he couldn\u2019t, he has openly advocated in Congressional testimony to twist the National Firearms Act to reclassify the semiautomatic Modern Sporting Rifle (MSR) and require all owners to register them and pay a tax \u2013 all 20 million-plus in circulation. This is the same Chipman who denigrated gun buyers as \u201cTiger King\u201d and zombie apocalypse preppers and lied about helicopters being shot down at the stand-off at Waco, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giffords calls NSSF extremist, but it\u2019s clear she\u2019s got an axe to grind. She also knows that Americans are embracing their Second Amendment rights in record numbers. Over\u00a021 million<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0background checks were conducted in 2020 for the sale of a gun. In 2021, that number is topping 11 million so far. She ignores that background checks are being conducted for the sale of firearms at retail and they\u2019re shattering records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giffords ignores these truths so America doesn\u2019t uncover the truth of her ultimate goal. Giffords wants to ban<\/a><\/strong> MSRs, the most popular-selling centerfire rifle in America, and standard capacity magazines. She supports<\/a><\/strong> President Biden\u2019s goal of repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), so activist lawyers can sue the firearm industry into oblivion for the actions of criminals. She supports<\/a><\/strong> gun registries so every law-abiding gun owner is on a government watchlist. Giffords backs<\/a><\/strong> the expanded use of so-called \u201cred flag\u201d laws that would do more than disarm gun owners, these laws would also deny them Second Amendment rights without Due Process. She wants to enact age-based gun bans, to unconstitutionally deny<\/a><\/strong> young adults under 21 the ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giffords\u2019 goal isn\u2019t just more background checks. Her goal is to eliminate lawful gun ownership. That\u2019s the most extremist position out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
