President Biden is poised to lose his job. Americans are already frustrated with wide-open borders, crime-infested streets, and unaffordable gas, groceries, and rent. Now, his administration has quietly launched a new war on gun owners — and the lawful gun industry — before his executive authority is stripped away. In an all-too-typical example of executive overreach, a new interim final rule from Biden’s Department of Commerce will vindictively smother American gun companies with layers of bureaucratic red tape and prevent civilians in other countries from lawfully purchasing American firearms and ammunition. This is not only a clear admission of the Biden administration’s disdain for lawful gun owners, but also a backdoor attempt to villainize and bankrupt domestic manufacturers while pushing the president’s globalist agenda beyond our own borders. Meanwhile, Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has launched its own crusade against Americans’ right to self-defense. ATF’s “Engaged in Business” rule reclassifies gun owners who occasionally sell a firearm as professional dealers, subjecting them to a web of complicated and burdensome regulations with no proven benefits. This rule unconstitutionally expands the agency’s control over ordinary gun owners while also taking another step toward the de facto creation of a national gun owner registry. Americans have the right — and the responsibility — to fight back. When the executive branch proposes these restrictions, without the consent of the people’s representatives in Congress, they’re subject to the federal rule-making process. During that process, Americans can submit comments opposing the rule. Those comments must be read by federal officials and should influence the administration’s final decision to move forward with the proposed changes. While the comment period has closed on the ATF’s business rule, Biden’s ridiculous new firearm export ban is still open for debate. Here’s why you should join us in our campaign of opposition: First, all U.S.-made firearms are already marked with serial numbers, but this rule would require manufacturers to adopt new export control classification numbers (ECCNs) for additional tracking abroad. This would expand the bureaucratic process — increasing compliance costs and lost revenue for American firearm manufacturers — but it would not improve tracking, seeing as any country can already record serial numbers. Second, while the rule will drastically restrict sales to foreign civilians, it would not impact exports to foreign governments, which reflects the Left’s fundamental belief that only those in power should have weapons, not the people they govern. The administration has tried to defend this hypocrisy with bad-faith attacks on civilian gun ownership, falsely claiming that firearms legally exported to civilians are more likely to be diverted into black markets than firearms sold to foreign militaries and police agencies. But virtually every credible analysis of international criminal gun trafficking shows that the biggest sources of guns used for crime or terrorism are government stockpiles and illegal imports, not guns legally imported for lawful civilian sales. Third, as usual, this additional regulation will do nothing to curb crime at home or abroad. The ATF’s own analysis of international gun crime tracing found that less than 1% of the firearms lawfully exported out of the U.S. between 2016 and 2020 were used in international crime. Just like in the United States, there’s no reason to believe that ordinary lawful gun owners in other countries are a driving force behind violent crime. The export ban, along with the massive expansion of power at the ATF, are election-year political games designed to appease the president’s radical base at the expense of our constitutional rights. President Biden has demonstrated time and time again his disdain for gun owners and willingness to subvert the American people to advance his agenda. Our representatives on the Hill have launched efforts to overturn both rules — and they need our support. Heritage Action launched a new campaign to help Americans submit comments in support of protecting the Second Amendment. Together, we can fight Biden’s executive overreach and prevent the suffocation of firearms manufacturers nationwide. * * *  Kevin Roberts, Ph.D., is president of Heritage Action for America.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said she was worried that former President Donald Trump might throw her in jail if he were to win reelection in November. The New York Congresswoman made an appearance on Kara Swisher’s podcast, “On with Kara Swisher,” and she claimed — among other things — that Trump had run his entire 2016 campaign against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the promise to “lock her up.” Ocasio-Cortez then went on to argue that since Trump had promised to lock Clinton up — in spite of the fact that he ultimately did not make an effort while president to do so — he could be reasonably expected to round up anyone who disagreed with him and throw them in jail if he was elected again. “I mean, it sounds nuts, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy threw me in jail. He’s out of his mind. I mean, he did his whole first campaign around ‘lock her up.’ This is his motto,” she claimed. “I take him at his word when he says that he’s going to round up people. I take him at his word when he threatens journalists. I take him at his word. I feel like what we saw in his first presidency was an amuse-bouche to what his intentions are. He has learned from his mistakes of appointing professionals, and he will not make that mistake next time.” Trump, as Fox News Digital reported, recently told host Sean Hannity that he did not plan to use the Justice Department against even President Joe Biden if he were to win in November, despite a number of people claiming that he would. “Number one, they’re wrong. It has to stop, because otherwise, we’re not going to have a country,” he said. “Look, when this election is over, based on what they’ve done, I would have every right to go after them, and it’s easy, because it’s Joe Biden and you see all the criminality, all of the money that’s going into the family and him, all of this money from China, from Russia, from Ukraine.” Others pointed out that Ocasio-Cortez — who previously claimed that her critics wished they could date her — was off base in claiming that Trump would throw her in jail. “This is what you call shock theater. Without evidence, @AOC alleged that Donald Trump would throw her in jail if he wins the election,” Gianno Caldwell posted. This is what you call shock theater.

I take him at his word when he threatens journalists. I take him at his word,’ Ocasio-Cortez said,” Brian Doherty added.
