Expect A "Blue Wave Of Gun Control" In 2022

[pipedreams]

Governing By Executive Fiat. 

"It's something that the Biden Administration knows quite well. Not even a week into the new year, Merrick Garland, Attorney General at the Department of Justice, announced a new "rule" for Federal Firearms Licensees, also known as FFLs. 

While this might sound wholly bland and harmless, keep in mind that the DOJ can use the 1968 Gun Control Act to add new rules and regulations to gun ownership without passing any laws. This change means that unelected bureaucrats in executive branch positions can usurp federal power to make "law" as they see fit. 

It is precisely this attitude that we've seen throughout 2021 from the Biden Administration, the Department of Justice, and the ATF. There's no reason to expect that they would shift their plans for 2022."

"Expect the Biden Admin to try and move forward with already proposed rules regarding pistol braces as well. Currently, the DOJ has asked for delays on the final rule's implementation as they try to figure out a way to get around all the impending lawsuits from the pro-gun lobby."

I think the Dems are sweating right now going into the mid-terms that they’ll step very carefully on this issue or avoid it all together (barring another mass shooting)...as for pistol braces, who knows? I avoided them all together as I saw a question of legality looming from the min they were introduced.
