Joe Biden Increasing Pressure on Licensed Firearm Dealers amid Crime Surge
breitbart.com ^ | 6/23/2021 | AWR Hawkins

A White House Fact Sheet previewing President Joe Biden’s Wednesday afternoon speech suggests he will announce increased overwatch of Federal Firearms License holders (FFLs) as part of his response to surging crime.

According to the White House, Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) “is announcing a new policy to underscore zero tolerance for willful violations of the law by [FFLs] that put public safety at risk.”

What the new policy means in real terms:

Absent extraordinary circumstances that would need to be justified to the Director, ATF will seek to revoke the licenses of dealers the first time that they violate federal law by willfully 1) transferring a firearm to a prohibited person, 2) failing to run a required background check, 3) falsifying records, such as a firearms transaction form, 4) failing to respond to an ATF tracing request, or 5) refusing to permit ATF to conduct an inspection in violation of the law.

I know that it's stupid to ask, but how exactly will tightening the screws on FFL dealers help with the actual violence in Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore L.A., Atlanta, etc., etc.?

Do they really think that dealers are able to differentiate the good guys from the bad guys?

Joe’s answer to the soaring crime rate is to make more acts criminal and thus more crime.

“No amendment is absolute.”
No politician has the right to steal the country blind.
The crime surge in the Demoicrat party is just a professional curtesy.

It is just blame shifting. Slo and Ho are much more responsible for the crime problem which they have no desire to stop or even slow down. Fear of crime is a great way to make people dependent on .gov for the protection racket. Just like the mob uses crime.

Gee whiz. It seems like during a crime wave, one would put more pressure on criminals. I am so behind the times.

Why?

Licensed firearm dealers don’t intentionally sell to criminals.

Hey Joey Sock Puppet, increase the pressure on the violent criminals.

What are you Joey too Sta Sta Stupid.

Only one amendment has language specifically addressing infringement.

So did this mean prosecuting Obama and Holder for FORCING gun dealers to sell guns to Mexican narcoterrorists who failed background checks while Joe was Veep?

It won’t, of course. But he politically can’t tighten the screws on the actual criminals, can he?

If they are predominately minorities, and they are, it’s never their fault.

Send Kamala into inner-city Chicago for a week, so she can find the ‘root causes’ of gun violence! I mean, she’s already done solving the problem at the southern border; she’s got time for this project. She IS ‘black’ and all that. If she would just speak out to her brothers like 0bama did, all of this trouble would be in the rear-view mirror!

HINT: It’s NOT ‘We The People’ shooting one another with our legally purchased and registered (sic) handguns and rifles. We’re keeping our powder dry for more important things.

They are Biden’s constituency.

Exactly what I expected, putting the screws to FFLs instead of going after the criminals.
