No one is ever held accountable in Biden’s war on guns

No one is ever held accountable in Biden’s war on guns
Multiple civil rights violations go unnoticed, unpunished.

A secret cabal of unelected bureaucrats operating in the bowels of the White House is the real architect of Joe Biden’s war on our guns, and none are ever held accountable.

Susan Rice, Barack Obama’s former national security advisor, played a leading role in this Star Chamber of civil rights abuse, until she abruptly left the White House last month. Rice, who served as Joe Biden’s domestic policy advisor, didn’t even bother to hide her frequent meetings with members of the gun-ban industry, such as Giffords, Brady and Everytown. She was that brazen and unafraid of consequences.

Since its inception, the clandestine group’s work has been used in a myriad of ways. Some became the basis for Biden’s anti-gun platform, speeches and talking points. Other ideas went straight to federal agencies, such as administration’s loyal lapdogs at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Does anyone believe that the ATF — the most overly politicized law enforcement agency in the country — would take on pistol braces without specific instructions from the White House? Of course not, but this time it backfired.

Gun owners and the courts swiftly rebuked plans to ban the plastic, aftermarket firearm accessory that the ATF twice said was perfectly legal, until they were pressured by Biden’s White House to change their findings.

More than 40 million law-abiding Americans had until last month to register their pistol braces with the ATF or become felons overnight. It’s estimated that less than 1% actually complied and completed a Form 1. That’s an embarrassment national in scope.

U.S. District Judge Jane J. Boyle made matters worse for the Administration in SAF, et.al. v. ATF, et. al, when she ruled that Second Amendment Foundation members who owned pistol braces were protected from ATF enforcement actions by a preliminary injunction. Members of other pro-gun groups received similar protections. SAF, Gun Owners of America and the Firearm Policy Coalition all experienced dramatic upticks in membership as a result. It became clear to everyone involved that ATF issued the rule because they knew a law banning pistol braces would never make it through Congress.

Some have speculated the public flogging would give the White House’s anti-gun zealots reason to rethink or even slow their bans and other actions, but the group is well insulated from public scrutiny. Even after a humiliating loss no one holds them accountable. And Biden, if pressed, can always blame the “AFT.”

While Biden should face consequences for most of his administration’s unconstitutional gun-control efforts, Joe wouldn’t know a pistol brace if one suddenly appeared at the bottom of his oatmeal bowl. Anymore, his only real purpose is to be led by the hand onstage once or twice a week, armed with a fistful of flashcards that tell him when to sit, stay, roll over and shake hands.

Meanwhile, the real brains behind the White House’s war on guns remain cloaked in anonymity. They’re as ruthless and cunning as a mafia hitman, and completely unanswerable to the public. Their actions are a direct affront to Congressional authority and the separation of powers, since they help ATF write and then enforce its own rules, which carry penalties indistinguishable from actual criminal statutes.

To be clear, when Biden’s White House pipes the tune, the ATF obediently starts to dance, and no one is ever held accountable.

Along with the GOA, the SAF has also won an injunction against the ATF's pistol-brace ban that encompasses all its members.

As it is, compliance with this most recent and massive overreach is estimated, even at best, at less than 3%.

It's almost as if the government wanted to make paper felons out of millions of law-abiding citizens.

Naw, that couldn't be.

the DO’J’ and FIB protect his sex trafficking,
child molestations, PAID-treasons, too.

most Americans think this is criminal beyond belief,
exceeding every criminal conspiracy against the hostage
people in ALL of history.

and they do this without a femtogram of accountability
over YEARS, as the Republic is murdered.

no one was held accountable for Obama’s war on coal.

Obama is still alive and has lost no blood. Ditto his wife and daughters

Agreed. The untouchable nature of our ruling elites in this case is, indeed, but one example of a much larger pattern.

Joe Brower (From the article):" While Biden should face consequences for most of his administration’s unconstitutional gun-control efforts,
Joe wouldn’t know a pistol brace if one suddenly appeared at the bottom of his oatmeal bowl.."

That is why he is surrounded by Obama's former Presidential staff making all the administrative decisions.
That is why this is actually, Obama's third term.

"That is why this is actually, Obama's third term."

Exactly so. Obama didn't buy a house just a few miles from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. because he liked the neighborhood.

Like Trump's bump stock ban and Trump's willingness to sign Feinstein's assault weapons ban.

Odd - I don’t see the NRA on that list.

I thought they were the ones that wanted to kill everyone with guns ….

The NRA has actually filed a motion to join GOA's lawsuit. Which must be kind of embarrassing for them, since they're the supposed leader on these things, but pride is a small thing in comparison to the stakes involved.

Sometimes it's the smaller guys who get things done. Which is why I am a member of both the GOA and SAF, as well as being a life NRA member.

Amendment XIV, Section 3 Joe Biden, in a court of law, such as the court Trump will be visiting tomorrow.

Amendment IV provides that:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated...

The Brady Bill violates the Amendment IV right to be secure in the possession of the firearm listed on the form 4473.

Rebellious Joe Biden had no lawful right to hold any government office of the United States ever since his Brady Bill vote given his incessant animosity towards Amendment II.

No bureaucrat is ever held responsible for the “rule” they pass. And politicians rarely are.

There ought to be an amendment to the Constitution that prohibits any agency created by Congress from passing rules that can impose a tax, fine, fee, or punishment of any kind without a specific act of Congress. And that act cannot be buried in some 2,000 page omnibus bill.

Congress has largely delegated much of its authority to this array of alphabet-soup agencies that, in time and quite predictably, run amok. Then Congress acts like heroes when they attempt to contain the very Frankensteins they've created.

You have to give them credit -- that's quite a machine they've built there.

It was their way of passing laws that would never have made it through Congress.
