President Joe Biden is stepping up his effort to cripple the firearm industry, the one industry that provides the means for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Biden\u2019s Commerce Department issued a new and unprecedented edict that bans the export of firearms, ammunition and certain accessories to most overseas markets. The Commerce Department\u2019s Bureau of Industry and Security posted a notice of a 90-day \u201cpause\u201d<\/strong><\/a> for the exports on a Friday afternoon \u2013 on the Frequently Asked Questions Section that\u2019s listed on the bottom the BIS website. The \u201cFriday news dump\u201d was apparently an attempt to slip the kneecapping of the industry under the radar. However, this appears to be a coordinated event and more evidence of gun control groups steering domestic and foreign policy for the Biden administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier Attacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

President Biden\u2019s repulsion that Americans would actually choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights has long been clear. He labeled firearm manufacturers \u201c<\/strong>the enemy<\/strong><\/a>\u201d<\/strong> at the outset of his campaign for The White House. That\u2019s a purposeful choice of words. He didn\u2019t say the firearm industry \u201copposed\u201d his policies, nor did he say it was an \u201cadversary.\u201d He chose to call the firearm industry \u201cthe enemy,\u201d labeling it as an existential threat to the America he wanted to fashion during his administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s taken every opportunity to wage a campaign against the firearm industry and gun owners in general. He nominated David Chipman<\/strong><\/a>, a gun control lobbyist, to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The ATF, of course, is the federal agency that regulates the firearm industry. His nomination was akin to putting the fox in charge of the hen house. NSSF opposed<\/strong><\/a> and his nomination was withdrawn. Director Steve Dettelbach was later nominated and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s also the ATF\u2019s \u201czero-tolerance\u201d policy<\/strong><\/a> that has seen federal firearms licenses (FFLs) revoked and businesses closed for minor clerical errors, even in cases that were addressed and closed. Some of those cases were reopened to revoke licenses and shut down businesses and livelihoods. As part of that pressure campaign, there\u2019s been a significant increase in the number of \u201cvoluntary\u201d license surrenders by business owners who agreed to give up their licenses instead of fight the weight of the federal government over the onerous policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Biden has reached for nearly every lever of government to erect roadblocks to law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights and hobble the firearm industry\u2019s ability to meet the demands of gun owners. He issued Final Rules through the Department of Justice (DOJ) and ATF to attempt an end-around Congress and redefine \u201cframes or receivers<\/strong><\/a>\u201d and ban stabilizing pistol braces<\/strong><\/a>. The frame or receiver rule outlawed the sale of unfinished firearm parts kits and his stabilizing pistol brace rule redefined brace-equipped pistols as short-barreled rifles, requiring that they be registered as controlled items under the National Firearms Act, requiring tax stamps and submission of fingerprints, photos and redundant background checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Final Rules are being challenged in the courts as unconstitutional. That\u2019s because they are. The Final Rules create criminal law without the consent and will of Congress. It is important to remember that only Congress can draft laws \u2013 especially those that involve criminal punishments. When an executive authority does that on their own, that\u2019s tantamount to tyranny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Biden also took aim at gun owners and hunters by kowtowing to anti-hunting and antigun special interests to ban the use of traditional lead ammunition on National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs). His administration hasn\u2019t done this just once<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 but twice<\/a><\/strong> (and just last week). These rules phase out the use of traditional lead ammunition and require more expensive and less available alternative ammunition. It was announced that it was to protect wildlife populations from the detrimental effects of the use of traditional ammunition. President Biden promised his administration would \u201cfollow the science,\u201d except it isn\u2019t. There is no peer-reviewed, site-specific evidence to support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) claims. They published the rules claiming to protect human health, California condors and American bald eagles. But the sites where they are banning the ammunition don\u2019t hold condor populations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s research demonstrates<\/strong><\/a> there is no human risk from consuming game harvested using traditional ammunition. American bald eagles are thriving, in large part because of the contributions paid by firearm and ammunition manufacturers through Pittman-Robertson excise taxes. That\u2019s benefited wildlife conservation to the tune of over $25 billion since 1937<\/a><\/strong>, when adjusted for inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latest Salvo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, the Biden administration slipped in this \u201cpause\u201d on firearm exports. That\u2019s significant for several reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, President Biden campaigned on reversing the U.S. Munitions List to Commerce Control List (USML-CCL) export reforms<\/strong><\/a> that were begun under the Obama-Biden administration and completed by the Trump administration. Those reforms reduced regulatory costs and streamlined exports while strengthening end-to-end user checks to ensure firearm exports weren\u2019t being sent overseas to bad actors. Opponents of these reforms include disgraced U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.)<\/strong><\/a>, who coveted his Senate oversight role to bless or block any firearm exports under the old rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is now apparent<\/strong><\/a> why he so zealously wanted that oversight back. The longtime ally of President Biden was recently indicted on federal corruption and bribery charges that stem from him greasing the skids for small-arms shipments to companies in Egypt. FBI officials raided his home and found hundreds of thousands of dollars wadded up and stuffed in his jacket pockets, along with stacks of gold bars. The twice-indicted senator has also been charged with illegally acting as an agent for the Egyptian government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cpause\u201d of firearm exports is unprecedented and the timing is suspect. The Biden administration\u2019s new Office of Gun Violence Prevention<\/strong><\/a>, which is staffed by gun control lobbyists and<\/strong> activists<\/strong><\/a>, just concluded a roundtable meeting with Democratic lieutenant governors to explore new ways they could collaborate on more gun control. It was also in the wake of successive<\/strong> Bloomberg News features<\/strong><\/a> that called into question exports to foreign countries, falsely alleging that U.S. manufacturers are complicit in stoking crime. One was an attack on SIG Sauer over crime in Thailand and a later article focused on Central and South America. Another attacked the Commerce Department\u2019s role in assisting U.S. manufacturers at NSSF\u2019s SHOT Show\u00ae, held annually in Las Vegas. That\u2019s something the Commerce Department does for all industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg News is owned, of course, by Michael Bloomberg. He\u2019s the billionaire former New York City mayor who flamed out<\/a><\/strong> on his own attempt to occupy the Oval Office, ran an undercover sting to uncover illegal gun trafficking in other states without notifying the ATF or FBI that put the lives of federal agents in jeopardy and was subsequently chastised<\/a><\/strong> by his own police chief and the U.S. Department of Justice. He\u2019s also the financier of Everytown for Gun Safety and their mouthpiece The Trace<\/strong><\/a>, the gun control group that now has office space in The White House, along with other gun control projects he funds, such as Moms Demand Action, Students Demand Action and the Center for Gun Violence Solutions at Johns Hopkins University\u2019s Bloomberg School of Public<\/strong> Health<\/strong><\/a>. When you pay that much money to fund gun control, universities name an entire school after you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this so-called \u201cpause,\u201d the Commerce Department will conduct a \u201cpolicy review to determine if changes are warranted to advance U.S. national security and policy interests. Of course, this raises concerns that under the guise of human rights, the Biden administration will attempt to undo the USML-CCL reforms, extend the \u201cpause\u201d indefinitely, impose unwarranted regulatory burdens to increase costs to exporters and close off overseas markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purely Political<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All firearm and ammunition exports are subject to Defense and State Department review, which can halt the export if there are concerns. Firearm and ammunition license applications undergo a 100 percent end-user check by the BIS Office of Export Enforcement, regardless of how long a company has been doing business with that customer, regardless of how many times the buyer was subjected to an end-user check and regardless of whether BIS has no derogatory information on that customer, even if the end-user was recently approved.  At present, no other commodity is subject to the same 100 percent check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kicker is that The White House has complete authority to regulate the export of firearms. That\u2019s what exposes this \u201cpause\u201d as nothing less than politically motivated. In July, the Biden administration sought to create a new division within BIS called \u201cEmbargoes and Human Rights.\u201d With the assistance of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Commerce, Justice and Science, this division was stopped. It could be that this \u201cpause\u201d for a \u201cpolicy review\u201d is political payback. There is no right to export and the decision to grant or deny a license is purely a function of the national security and foreign policy assessment of those in charge. The USML-CCL reforms give the administration complete and essential unfettered discretion<\/a><\/strong>. BIS invoked national security and foreign affairs as the reason for the pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congressional reaction comes through the power of the purse. Congress can \u2013 and must \u2013 act through appropriations to ensure that the Biden administration is held accountable for its attempt to kneecap the industry through their unprecedented export \u201cpause.\u201d This is a naked attempt to hobble the firearm industry, which President Biden made clear that he despises. It is also a shameless favor to the gun control special interest groups that have bought their way into The White House that are now using foreign policy to exert their influence over domestic policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American firearm industry has been called the \u201carsenal of democracy\u201d because a strong and robust small arms manufacturing base has armed and equipped our law enforcement at home and our military and allies abroad. President Biden\u2019s \u201cpause\u201d is an attempt to weaken that arsenal and diminish the industry that provides the means for Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
