Trump Administration to Roll Back Array of Gun Control Measures

[Anonymous]

Better make sure your kid knows how to duck from shooters. The Trump admin has made it a priority to protect those who skip background checks for gun purchases and who falsify business records. So much for the law and order party.

Trump Administration to Roll Back Array of Gun Control Measures
Taken together, they signal an abrupt reversal from efforts by the Biden administration to stem the flood of unregulated semiautomatic handguns and rifles.

The Trump administration is expected to roll back a range of Biden-era gun control measures, including a program to crack down on federally licensed gun dealers who falsify business records and skip customer background checks, according to two people briefed on the move.

Attorney General Pam Bondi, under pressure from gun rights groups, is likely to announce this week that she plans to eliminate the “zero tolerance” policy, put in place four years ago, that strips the federal licenses of firearms dealers found to have repeatedly violated federal laws and regulations, the people said.

What actually happened- the anti-gun Democrats in the Biden Administration scrutinized gun dealers' forms looking for excuses to shut them down. This 'falsify' was accidental error.

Maybe they should have complied with the law.

The RWNJ at DOD used gun laws to go after Hunter.

+1 Why does the Trump administration come down so heavily to support the side of those unable to act legally?

Correct.

The other part involves: State law.

There are states where law abiding citizens who have already turned in their fingerprints, photos, and passed a full prior background check, do not have to do it all over again with the federal nics check.

Biden’s administration wanted to punish those states and force wasted, needless, additional checks simply out of spite, and in defiance of states rights.

What is a “flood” of “semiautomatic handguns and rifles”?

And what makes you think they’re “unregulated”?


Just trying to sort through what seems like really salacious and hyperbolic, over-the-top descriptions here.

Can you explain what you mean by those terms?

Yep. Many states don’t require gun purchasers to leap through all the federal hoops if they’ve already gone to the (considerably more in-depth) process of obtaining a state carry license.

OP - tell us why do you think it’s a good idea to force people who’ve already completed a far more elaborate background check at state-level to go through the pointless process of a federal check that is less thorough than the one they’ve already undertaken?

Is it just because you don’t like them and want to burden them with more bureaucracy and cost?

If that’s why, just say so.
