Some are saying that this potential regulation would violate the Second Amendment. What do you think?
From New York Post. A watchdog group is demanding documents from the Biden administration after whistleblowers alleged that a regulation is under development that would effectively ban private gun sales.
Discuss issues you care about with other intercessors.
The group, Empower Oversight, said Wednesday that two sources have claimed that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is preparing to propose a rule requiring background checks for most or all gun sales.
President Biden has campaigned for stricter gun laws and in August proposed a regulation to clarify that people who “repetitively” sell guns must register as federally licensed gun dealers subject to background checks.
The revised rule purportedly being crafted by the ATF would be even broader, Empower Oversight president Tristan Leavitt said in a series of posts on X.
Empower Oversight “has learned through whistleblowers within ATF that at the direction of the White House, ATF has drafted a 1,300-page document to justify a rule effectively banning the private sale of firearms,” Leavitt wrote. …
Federally licensed dealers must conduct background checks by entering gun-buyer information into the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
Although the precise wording of the pending proposal wasn’t released, the whistleblower concern stems from the fact that some sellers might be unable to easily access NICS or unaware of the need to do so, putting themselves in legal jeopardy. …
It’s unclear what carveouts — such as for family gun transfers — may be included in the alleged pending ATF regulation, which would have to undergo a public notice and comment period. …
If adopted, the regulation would almost certainly face litigation, and the Supreme Court — which has expanded gun rights in significant cases over the past two decades — likely would have the final word. …

The Second Amendment to our Constitution was included in our Constitution to prevent the government becoming totalitarian–the people are to be in charge of the nation. The Second Amendment is a prohibition against the central government from unduly limiting the keeping and bearing of arms. Prohibiting private sales totally is a gross violation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution and thus would be null and void. There is no language in our Constitution giving the central government the power to restrict private sales of firearms and, thus, in accordance with the Tenth Amendment, the power to do so remains with the states or the people. However, even the states are constrained from imposing such a limitation by the language ” … the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Thus, such action by either the federal government or the state governments would be wholly unconstitutional. Thus, let us pray that those in authority will obey the Constitution so that the people do not have to have lawsuits or go to war to protect the country.
Father, I praise you because you hear our prayers. Thank you for whistleblowers. Protect them and give them favor. I ask that you would undo the schemes of the ATF to destroy our rights. Only you can help us. Thank you for our Constitution.
