The Biden Administration’s latest gun control proposal has prompted Gun Owners of America (GOA) to issue a warning for law-abiding gun owners.
On Thursday, the ATF unveiled a new rule notice, which would effectively create backdoor Universal Registration checks and require background checks for guns that are sold with any kind of profit made.
🚨BREAKING🚨
The @ATFHQ sent notice of a new rule to essentially create backdoor Universal Registration Checks to require a background check where any "profit" is made.
We will share details after we've reviewed the rule & our attorneys will be preparing a lawsuit.

Here is how the new scheme will work in full according to GOA.
Carefully note the second paragraph:
Under this newly proposed rule, any individual who sells even a single firearm for any profit, to any person including family could be classified as “Engaged in the Business” of selling firearms, and in turn, they would be forced to get a federal license, conduct a background check, and complete gun registration paperwork under federal law.
This will further enhance the ATF’s illegal gun registry and will make it much harder for private individuals to sell guns—effectively forcing them to either become a gun dealer or take time off work to coordinate trips (with potential gun buyers) to find a gun store.
If one wants to profit from the sale of firearms, they must register with the ATF. This will give the Biden Administration more access to gun owners, who may be at risk for politically motivated targeting.
One month following the tragic mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas in May 2022, Senator John Cornyn’s proposed gun control legislation was passed, allowing for major changes.
The new laws required individuals who buy and sell firearms with the primary intention of making a profit to register as Federal Firearm Licensees.
Additionally, dealers were mandated to conduct background checks and maintain appropriate records. However, this section of the law has been exploited by the Regime to discourage citizens from exercising their right to bear arms.
Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President, issued a warning for gun owners on the Regime’s next steps:
First, they said five guns, but now, anyone who sells a single firearm in a given year and makes even a penny of profit will be subject to dealer requirements, including a background check.
People need to realize this is just the next step in the anti-gunners’ longform playbook to enact backdoor universal registration of firearms, and eventually, to confiscate all firearms. They will not stop until that day.
He is correct; the ultimate goal of the Biden Administration appears to be disarming the population and establishing a leftist dictatorship with minimal opposition.

Every right stated by the constitution and the bill of rights is being violated by the evil socialist left. Wake up democrat voters ( and rino voters)
get a dictionary, look up the word “infringe”. Learn what “shall not” means. then GFY
Is it not time for CIVIL disobedience? Chief Justice John Marshall wrote in the Marbury vs. Madison 1803 Decision that “A Law repugnant to the Constitution is void.”
From John Cinque:
“16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177 late 2d, Sec 256:
The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be In agreement. It is impossible for both the Constitution and a law violating it to be valid; one must prevail. This is succinctly stated as follows:
The General rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. An unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed. Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to settle just as it would be had the statute not been enacted.
Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principles follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it…..
A void act cannot be legally consistent with a valid one. An unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede any existing valid law. Indeed, insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the land, it is superseded thereby.
No one Is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it.
AS OUR SELF APPOINTED RULERS…YOU WILL PASS WHATEVER IT IS YOU ARE GOING TO PASS. I FOR ONE WILL REFUSE TO COMPLY.
I have the constitution both state and federal on my side. I am on the right side of history with this. You are on the wrong side.
Just because you can make a felon out of the citizenry with the stroke of a pen, does not mean that the people will comply.”
RED states need to separate from this evil empire. Can I interest you in a 50-60% tax cut? A 100% reduction of federal regulation? My ancestors left the “union” because of ONE tax increase. I can give you thousands of reason to leave today. Where are the real men today? A 2nd amendment is useless to a coward. GOD hates cowards, so do I
I divested myself of all guns, years ago. Didn’t you ? Didn’t everyone ?
Why does anyone listen to the fake Joe Biden? This Joe Biden is not Joe Biden. The real Joe Biden was executed at Gitmo years ago. Jim Carrey the actor is the main actor playing Biden. There are three others. The “Bidens and administration are not even allowed to use the Washington DC White House or AirForce I or II. Trump IS the real Commander in Chief and President, was reinaugurated on 1/20/20 by the Military with a 21-gun salute and full honors while the fake Biden was given a 3-gun salute, no honors and a funeral inauguration. All this can be fact checked online with the Military websites. If YOU follow fake Biden’s laws, rules, EO’s or mandates, you are committing misprision of Justice and a treason proving you are not a patriot, but a traitor. Alsos, mandates are not laws. Do not comply with any mandates and you also have the right to have anyone arrested that tries to force a mandate on you. It really amazes me how the general public will not research but follow anything someone tries to force you into. Why do you want to hurt yourselves? Why do you want to be put in communes and told what to do, when to do it and how to do it at someone else’s desire or stupid law? You get what you reap!
