President Joe Biden announced plans to possibly ban guns under a national emergency declaration.
The Washington Post reports Biden's new “Office of Gun Violence Prevention” will declare “a national gun violence public health emergency” as part of a plan by Biden to go around Congress and impose anti-gun measures through Executive Orders.
The Post reports the anti-gun office will be run by a “high-profile activist from the Community Justice Action Fund.” The CJAF is a notorious “Defund The Police” organization that supports gun confiscation and funneling billions of tax dollars to political activists to work as “violence interrupters.”
Biden's plan mirrors an announcement by New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham that she was declaring a “public health emergency” and unilaterally suspending many gun rights in her state.
Senators reacted quickly to Biden's totalitarian gun grab, supporting the “Protecting the Right To Keep and Bear Arms Act of 2023.
Introduced by Sen. Mike Braun, (R-IN) the bill “would prevent the President, Secretary of Health and Human Services, or other government officials from declaring certain emergencies or disasters for the purpose of imposing gun control.”
“Many said that public health emergencies would not be abused to impose gun control, but after we saw the vast expansion of executive power during COVID and the New Mexico Governor use a public health emergency to effectively suspend the 2nd Amendment in her state, no one can doubt that this needs to be addressed,” said Braun. “We need to set into law that no one can remove the right to defend ourselves and our families with the stroke of a pen.”
The Protecting the Right To Keep and Bear Arms Act (S.2911) would:
* Prohibit the President or designee, from declaring an emergency pursuant to the National Emergencies Act or major disaster pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act in order to impose gun control.
* Prevent the Secretary of Health and Human Services from declaring a public health emergency pursuant to the Public Health Service Act for the purpose of imposing gun control.
* Prevent any government official from prohibiting the manufacture, sale, or transfer of a firearm or ammunition during a disaster or emergency.

Martial Law?? Only way
Martial Law doesn’t take away our rights to have Guns, lol just means the Military is in Control and not our Corrupt Government now.
The courts already said that is illegal. Why isn’t there a law that when the courts declare your actions unconstitutional you go to prison.
that way the civil rights crabbing leftists woudl all be in prison.
I thought REAL gun control was HITTING your TARGET . . . without government INTERVENTION. Just a thought.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Amendment II, The U.S. Constitution
“For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.”
Thomas Jefferson, Eighth State of the Union Address, 1808
Should Biden try to impose a national emergency to impose gun control, then the people must rise up and demand Congress remove him from office, or they will.
Ooh! I hope he does! That would be the END of Progressive Socialists’ election hopes and dreams!
Can someone please explain to me WHY we need a new law to enforce the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution? Isn’t the Constitution “The LAW of The LAND”? This would mean that Congress must pass a new law enforcing every item in the Constitution. We don’t need any more laws, we need to follow what is plainly outlined in the United States Constitution. It really IS that simple. The Second Amendment is not about gun control, it is about four words:“Shall not be infringed”.
Yet another violation of his oath, therefore he knowingly and willfully forfeits his office. Any and all elected officials that violate their oath to UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION needs to be removed from their position immediately. No exceptions, no whiny excuses.
Gun-toting criminals are out of jail because of Biden. Who then is going to protect us? People you must remember this is what has happened in the past. Try World War 11 Germany.
