The Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a proposed rule Monday that will designate certain AR-pistols as “short barreled rifles” and place them under the purview of the National Firearms Act of 1934.
DOJ also put forward a model red flag law for states to follow in crafting their own legislation.
The DOJ’s proposed AR-pistol rule and red flag law model are put being put forward in compliance with President Joe Biden’s April 8, 2021, executive directive for such gun controls to be issued.
On April 8, 2021, Breitbart News reported that Biden put forward a number of executive gun controls, one of which was new regulations for AR-pistols and another was directive for the DOJ to put forward a red flag law model that states could follow.
Regarding AR-pistols, Biden said, “We want to treat pistols, modified with stabilizing braces, with the seriousness they deserve.” He suggested having a stabilizing brace on a pistol “makes that pistol a hell of lot more accurate” and “more lethal.”
Biden also addressed red flag laws: “We know red flag laws can stop mass shooters before they can act out their violent plans.” He then directed the Justice Department to publish model red flag legislation for states to adopt.
His push for red flag laws came only weeks after a Boulder, Colorado, attacker shot and killed 10 people despite that state’s red flag law.
“…shall NOT be infringed…”
This is one dumbass bunch I tell ya.
I was recently asked by my dad, who is pro gun, why I needed two AR 15s. My answer was that I don’t have enough money for the third one yet. Get all you can while you still can, and plenty of ammo before they stop selling that too.
