President Joe Biden issued an executive order on guns.
Lefty websites make you think he’s taking a stance against those assault rifles! Other websites make you think he’s coming from your guns.
The executive order literally does nothing. Buried in The New York Post (emphasis mine):
Biden’s executive order does not make policy changes but calls on executive agencies to ensure compliance with existing laws, moving the US as close to universal background checks as possible under existing laws without requiring Congress to pass additional legislation.
My friend responded, “So it’s the equivalent of shaking his fist and saying, ‘You better do your job!'”
Yup.
Buried in The Associated Press article:
Tuesday’s action does not change U.S. government policy. Rather, it directs federal agencies to ensure compliance with existing laws and procedures — a typical feature of executive orders issued by presidents when they confront the limits of their own power to act without cooperation from Congress.
So America will have more background checks by people actually doing what they’re supposed to do.
Biden made demands of Attorney General Merrick Garland, but it’s just to clarify the laws we already have on the books:
Biden also asked Garland to formulate a plan to stop firearms dealers whose federal licenses have been revoked or surrendered from selling guns.The order also directs Garland, the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, the secretary of education and the surgeon general to raise public awareness of “red flag” orders, which allow a judge to remove a firearm from someone deemed likely to hurt themselves or others.Further, Biden asked the Federal Trade Commission to issue a public report on how gun makers market firearms to minors and how the manufacturers use military imagery to advertise weapons to the general public.
The media wants to get you riled up and in turn they bury the lede.
Biden didn’t do anything concerning guns. Nothing changed. Nothing will change. He’s just posturing.
Also, LOL.
