Instead of trampling on the Second Amendment, Democrats like Biden should toughen up on the offenders who use guns to facilitate illicit activity.
President Joe Biden told Americans on Monday that regulating firearms is the best way to combat rising violent crime in U.S. cities, but taking away the gun rights of law-abiding Americans doesn’t rein in criminals, especially those let off the hook by soft-on crime progressives.
Violent crime, often perpetrated using firearms, is on the rise in many American cities. In 2021 alone, at least 14 Democrat-controlled urban hubs reported all-time high homicide records.
Even though this historic crime streak is even plaguing cities with strict gun laws, the Biden administration wants gun parts, such as frames and receivers, to be serialized and regulated as regular firearms so they can be traced. This would require customers who purchase gun kits from retailers to undergo a background check like they would if they were buying an already-assembled firearm.
“All of a sudden, it’s no longer a ghost. It has a return address. It’s going to help save lives, reduce crime, and get more criminals off the streets,” Biden said.
What Biden failed to mention in his lie-riddled gun-control speech is that build-your-own guns make up a remarkably small portion of the firearms used to commit crimes in America. To put it in perspective, New York City police seized more than 6,000 illegal guns in 2021. Only about 200 of them did not have serial numbers.

YUGE IF, bitt! 😎👍
This article has it all backward.
Democrats want certain people disarmed (deplorables).
Certain Democrat-backed pressure groups can then terrorize them.
Then they have complete control.
Democrats don’t give a rat’s patoot about crime, just look at the cities they control.
the DemoNaziCommies don’t want to reduce violent crime
they want to increase it
1. dictatorships grow best when there’s societal chaos to fuel them (”we need a stronger government to control crime...” but it always results in INSTALLING crime into government and Controlling the innocent population, instead)
2. once installed into power, dictatorships make sure that the population cannot protect themselves or arise and remove those who’ve seized control ( “gun control to help make us safe”)
give up your guns and they can do any damned thing they want to you (including murder you, as with Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, Communist China, you name it)
remember who’s pulling the strings in USA, who is grooming and funding “our” politicians like Pelousy, Biden, Obama The Ineligible....................and who has organized and funded the DemoNaziCommie Election Theft Machine (stuffed ballot boxes, forged ballots from nursing homes and hospitals crooked vote counters, rigged voting machines, and SorozNazi funded election officials
if you don’t aleady have them, go today and get yourself a couple spare firearms just in case they steal your EDC
If democrats cared about...oh, never mind.
The feral criminal hoards are the soldiers of the left. They just don’t know it yet.
also there are reports that credit card companies have entered into an agreement with the admin to flag purchases of guns and ammo.
Criminals ARE a pet grievance group protected by Democrats...
It’s very simple. From chaos comes opportunity. Opportunity to more control the populace meaning you and me
If democRATs were “worried about ending crime” they would stop being democRATs. They would become inmates.
How many crimes are solved because a firearm had a serial number? I'd guess close to none.
Democrats care about crime, what do you mean? Murderers, drug dealers, thieves, rapists, pedophiles, rioters, carjackers, those are their best constituency.
