His administration released his Presidential budget request, which outlines his priorities for the coming year. At the top of the list are plans to target the firearm industry for the failures of his administration to support law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Biden proposes to spend $20.6 billion for the Justice Department for federal law enforcement, crime prevention and intervention. Tucked into that spending proposal includes plans for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to hire 140 special agents and another 160 Industry Operations Inspectors (IOIs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Politics Over Policing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows the Biden administration puts the blame for rising crime at the feet of the firearm industry. This is what NSSF&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/icymi-biden-harris-wants-to-repeal-plcaa\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\">predicted<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;when President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were on the campaign trail. It was also why NSSF worked to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/president-biden-withdraws-nomination-of-david-chipman-for-atf-director\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\">&nbsp;<strong>defeat<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;the nomination of David Chipman to become ATF director. The administration\u2019s vision has always been to use the ATF as a tool not to regulate the firearm industry, but to dismantle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The White House posted a Briefing Room&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/blog\/2022\/03\/28\/taking-on-gun-crime-and-violence-with-a-whole-of-government-approach\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\">blog<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;to explain its gun control plans. In it, officials explain that they know criminals are responsible for surging crime, yet myopically focus only on zeroing in on firearm manufacturers, distributors and retailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust as he did in his State of the Union Address, he will continue to call on Congress to takes [<em>sic<\/em>] steps that cannot be achieved through executive action and do not violate the Second Amendment \u2013 like universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons with high-capacity magazines, and repeal of the liability shield for gun manufacturers and dealers,\u201d The White House&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/blog\/2022\/03\/28\/taking-on-gun-crime-and-violence-with-a-whole-of-government-approach\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\">wrote<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The administration\u2019s intent to hire more ATF inspectors than special agents signals that it is more interested in punishing the industry than actually going after criminals. The White House actually&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/blog\/2022\/03\/28\/taking-on-gun-crime-and-violence-with-a-whole-of-government-approach\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\"><strong>lays out<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;where it believes the crimes are happening. It talks about firearms being illegally trafficked up the East Coast, destined for criminals in Baltimore and New York City. Instead of focusing on arresting, prosecuting and imprisoning those criminals misusing firearms, Biden administration officials choose to instead wage a campaign to nullify federal firearm licensees (FFLs). They use \u201czero-tolerance\u201d inspections to revoke licenses of retailers who are working diligently to adhere to laws and regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Targeting Industry<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The White House\u2019s recent actions demonstrate this. At the direction of The White House, ATF inspections of FFLs have become increasingly punitive versus the cooperative. That plan was&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rollcall.com\/2021\/06\/23\/biden-zero-tolerance-policy-to-target-rogue-gun-dealers\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\">announced<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;by The White House nearly a year ago in an effort to target what it called \u201crogue dealers.\u201d Minor clerical errors were once listed as \u201cfindings\u201d that retailers could correct. That\u2019s turning into a policy to find reasons to revoke licenses for firearm retailers for simple clerical errors in records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reports are now pouring in that ATF is reopening long-closed compliance inspections and threatening to revoke licenses for mistakes that did not threaten public safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ATF released a&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/firearms\/docs\/open-letter\/all-ffls-mar-2022-open-letter-forced-reset-triggers-frts\/download\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\">letter<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;to FFLs that \u201cforced reset triggers\u201d are now considered to be \u201cmachineguns,\u201d but didn\u2019t specify brands of models of these triggers that would run afoul of the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Gun Control Act (GCA). Little more is known about what would be considered illegal \u2013 including makes and models. NSSF is urging the ATF to provide better guidance to the industry to enable FFLs to comply and inform their customers. Rather than provide that guidance, ATF\u2019s answer was to tell industry members \u2013 in an era of \u201czero tolerance\u201d \u2013 to call ATF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two Proposed Rules, one to redefine frames and receivers and another to ban pistol arm braces, are in the works too. Both are\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/proposed-ghost-gun-rule-reshape-battle-homemade-guns\/story?id=83566055\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\">problematic<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0The definition of a firearm frame and receiver is set by Congress, yet The White House is pushing the rule changes through the Justice Department and ATF. That sets up a legal showdown over the separation of powers and whether or not the Executive Branch can unilaterally rewrite laws without the consent of the Legislative Branch. Beyond that, there are still unanswered questions on the Proposed Rule to redefine frames and receivers. The White House contends the rule change is targeted at home-built firearms but hasn\u2019t offered guidance as to how it would handle multiple or reprinted serial numbers on guns, manufacturing overhauls and implementation guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/passing-constitutional-carry-is-madness-says-msnbc-columnist\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\">Passing Constitutional Carry is \u2018Madness,\u2019 Says MSNBC Columnist<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The administration&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/president-biden-repeats-his-gun-control-lies-in-first-state-of-the-union-address\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\">continues<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;to press for the repeal of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which prevents frivolous lawsuits against members of the firearm industry for the criminal misuse of a lawfully sold firearm by a remote third party. President Biden, time and again, has been&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.factcheck.org\/2021\/04\/bidens-missteps-on-gun-policies\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\">debunked<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;in his claims that the firearm industry is the only industry that receives this protection. The law, however, is nothing more than codification of basic tort law, that the industry cannot be held responsible for the criminal actions committed by others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Industry Prevention Efforts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Biden administration is squandering decades of trust built between the firearm industry and the ATF. NSSF and the ATF have cooperative crime-prevention efforts including the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssfrealsolutions.org\/programs\/dont-lie\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\"><strong>Don\u2019t Lie for the Other Guy<\/strong><\/a><sup>TM<\/sup>&nbsp;campaign to educate the public that \u201cstraw purchasing\u201d a firearm for someone else is crime. Another is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssfrealsolutions.org\/programs\/operation-secure-store\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"president-bidens-budget-request-targets-firearm-industry\" title=\"President Biden's Budget Request Targets Firearm Industry\"><strong>Operation Secure Store<\/strong>\u00ae<\/a>, to help firearm retailers deter and prevent firearm burglaries and robberies. The firearm industry \u2013 especially retailers \u2013 want to ensure that criminals don\u2019t ever possess firearms illegally. They regularly work with ATF special agents to help solve crimes. These actions, though, threaten to chill that cooperative relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, this was predicted. The Biden administration is scapegoating the firearm industry for its own lack of answers to address rising crime. These actions aren\u2019t serious about anything short of the administration\u2019s intent to dismantle the firearm industry. By doing that, they would deny the ability for law-abiding citizens to exercise their own Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That doesn\u2019t stop crime. It only makes more potential targets for criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\"
