\"GOA:
President Joe Biden (Photo: WhiteHouse.gov<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By: Erich Pratt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Citing the need to curtail rising crime rates, President Joe Biden recently announced a final rule by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives<\/a> (ATF). The chief objects of the president\u2019s wrath are so-called \u201cghost guns\u201d \u2014 a made-up, pejorative term that anti-gun leftists use to refer to homemade firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These guns have been legal and unregulated since the time of the Pilgrims. But long before the president\u2019s announcement, Pennsylvania Democrats<\/a> were already pushing six \u201cghost gun\u201d bills that would make privately made firearms illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the announcement of these regulations, Vice President Kamala Harris said that \u201cghost guns pose an especially grave threat to the safety of our communities.\u201d<\/a> That claim is demonstrably false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Department of Justice<\/a>, privately made firearms were found at 692 homicide or attempted homicide crime scenes over a six-year period. That means that, at worst, out of more than 16,000 yearly murders<\/a>, homemade guns are used in around 115 homicides per year. That\u2019s far fewer murders than many common items which are easily found around one\u2019s house \u2014 such as knives (1,476), hammers or blunt objects (397), or fists and feet (600)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why isn\u2019t the Biden Administration trying to regulate those objects?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is that this president is not as interested in protecting public safety, as much as he wants to implement a radical gun control regime. The new ATF rule could incarcerate gun owners for committing non-violent, highly technical violations of complex and unconstitutional laws, while doing nothing about the rising number of crimes committed by real criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For two years, the anti-gun left has looked the other way while rioters\u00a0destroyed cities, attacked civilians, and assaulted law enforcement officers<\/a>. The president\u2019s allies in leftist cities \u2014\u00a0including Philadelphia<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 began\u00a0releasing criminals early from jail<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0defunding the police<\/a>\u00a0where they were needed the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEE ALSO: Biden\u2019s A Broken Record: President Keeps Telling This Lie About 2A<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Predictably, the murder rate, which had been on a downward trend for over 20 years, spiked. In fact, 12 Democrat-controlled cities<\/a> from Philadelphia to Portland broke homicide records last year. These are 12 cities where leaders have coddled criminals, yet inexplicably, did everything possible to discourage law-abiding individuals who merely wish to exercise their Second Amendment-protected rights. Philadelphia was no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spike in crime across our country is the result of the failed leadership and the social policies of left-wing radicals. It has nothing to do with firearms enthusiasts building guns in their garages and home workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti-gun left may try to demonize these firearms by referring to them as \u201cghost guns.\u201d But the fact remains that hundreds of thousands of honest gun owners today are making their own legal guns \u2014 and virtually none of these guns will be used in any crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House claims that serializing firearms is necessary to stop criminals, but in reality, there is no evidence that registering firearms \u2014 or stamping them with serial numbers \u2014 prevents crime. Virtually every gun used in a crime already has a serial number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why has Joe Biden declared war on legal gun owners? In a word: control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serialization is not designed to stop criminals. It\u2019s intended to register the law-abiding, which history shows is the first step toward confiscation. And if you don\u2019t think confiscation could ever occur in this country, just recall Beto O\u2019Rourke yelling: \u201cHell, yes, we\u2019re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47<\/a>!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The double-standards by the anti-gun left are breathtaking. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro<\/a> was at the Rose Garden ceremony, applauding the president\u2019s restrictions on homemade firearms. Never mind that Shapiro\u2019s office has been accused of illegally transferring<\/a> a homemade gun to a television journalist preparing a story on the issue without conducting a background check; that would violate both state and federal law. The transfer was made to facilitate an NBC News report on a local supplier of P80 kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the anti-gun left, we constantly see \u201crules for thee, but not for me.\u201d The Biden administration openly admitted that he ordered this \u201cghost gun\u201d regulation because he \u201cwas having trouble getting [gun control] passed in the Congress<\/a>.\u201d That is lawless and anti-constitutional behavior. The president is not a king who can issue decrees on a whim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our system of government, Congress makes the laws. Gun Owners of America will be working with pro-gun congressmen and senators to overrule this unconstitutional decree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
