Biden to unveil long-awaited executive action on guns
Politico ^ | 4/7/21 | Anita Kumar

The announcement, expected Thursday, comes amid a spate of high-profile shootings and as some advocates have grown frustrated in the White House's delay.

President Joe Biden is expected to unveil a long-awaited package of executive actions to curb gun violence Thursday at the White House, according to four people familiar with the plan.

The announcement comes nearly three months into Biden’s term, a delay that had frustrated activists who wanted the president to fulfill a campaign pledge to take action on gun violence on his first day in office. That frustration only grew after a slate of mass shootings in Colorado, Georgia and California.

Biden will direct the administration to begin the process of requiring buyers of so-called ghost guns — homemade or makeshift firearms that lack serial numbers — to undergo background checks, according to three people who have spoken to the White House about the plans.

Other executive actions remain unclear. But advocates who have been in touch with the White House have speculated that the president could announce regulations on concealed assault-style firearms; prohibitions on firearm purchases for those convicted of domestic violence against their partners; alerts to law enforcement agencies when a potential buyer fails a background check; and federal guidance on home storage safety measures.

This is one of the most stupid things he could have done. First of all, it's illegal to transfer a homemade firearm to ANYONE except through a will. So is he now saying that you CAN transfer a homemade firearm so long as you go through a background check? I don't see this flying with the ATF at all.

Second, those convicted if domestic violence already can't buy a firearm.

Third, MANY of those denied on the NICS are eventually overturned because the person was mistaken for another person with the same name, or some other technicality, not because they were actually prohibited from possessing a firearm.

Fourth, federal guidance on home storage safety measures? Ha! If you don't know how to safely store your firearms, maybe you shouldn't own them.

The ghost gun regulation by EO is actually illegal, but they don’t really care about that.

“First of all, it’s illegal to transfer a homemade firearm to ANYONE except through a will.”


I could be wrong, but I believe it is quite legal to transfer a homemade firearm. You cannot be in the business of selling homemade firearms and you cannot make a firearm with the intent of selling it. I believe you must put a serial number on it if you sell it or transfer it.

***That frustration only grew after a slate of mass shootings in Colorado, Georgia and California***

Say what? Both California and Colorado have tough gun laws which were supposed to prevent this, but actually don’t.

Here is a California list!

Well, lets see...California...

Handgun and rifle registration-Check.
Background checks-Check.
Ban on A-s-s-ault rifles.-Check.
Ten day Waiting Periods-Check.
Red Flag law-Check
FBI checks-check.
Only California approved hand guns allowed-Check.
Tax on ammo-Check.
Background check for ammo purchases-Check.
Age limit of 21 for all guns. Check.
Micro-stamping -Check.
Age limit for ammo-Check.
Gun free zone-Check.
Ban on large magazines-Check.
No private individual sales-Check.
No buying out of state and bringing them into California.

It will be as well observed by US citizens as the 18th Amendment was.
Which means, US citizens will be looked upon as Constitutional Heroes when they smuggle in guns and ammo.

So he thinks we should have to pass a background test to buy a paperweight? The “Ghost gun” lower doesn’t do anything for you if you don’t have the ability to complete it. And there are already companies selling 0% blanks for people with the ability to mill them. What’s next? background checks for buying aluminum?

I suspect gun ignorant reporters are getting the story wrong, and what he is actually talking about regulating is the "80%" products, like the 80% ar-15 lower receivers, and 80% glock kits which are currently being sold direct to consumers without any background check or FFL involvement.
