Washington, D.C.- The National Association for Gun Rights is denouncing an executive order announced by the Biden-Harris Administration today, which NAGR says funds confiscation of firearms without due process.
“Biden and Harris are further cementing their gun control legacy today by creating 135 million reasons for states to find more people to confiscate guns from,” said Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights. “$135 million more dollars, stolen from taxpayers, to fund more unconstitutional gun grabs using the cover of “Red Flag” laws.
Today’s executive order contains several new gun control provisions, including over $135 million dollars in “formula awards” for 48 states to fund so-called “Red Flag” gun confiscation programs.
“Democrat rulers love to trumpet in the media that they aren’t coming for your guns, while simultaneously pushing semi-auto bans and so-called “Red Flag” gun confiscation without due process,” said Brown.
Additionally, today’s Biden-Harris announcement of an arbitrary cap on semiautomatic rate of fire is a blatant violation of federal statute, which has been repeatedly thrown out by courts.
Recently, a federal Court in Texas held in National Association for Gun Rights v Garland that the Biden Harris-Administration cannot extend the federal machine gun ban to include firearms equipped with Forced Reset Triggers and must return illegally seized firearms to certain individuals.
Multiple Supreme Court’s rulings including the Cargill and Chevron cases have found identical attempts to circumvent Congress, seeking to ban classes of firearms illegally exceeded their constitutional authority.
“In short, Biden and Harris broke the law today”, said Brown.
The National Association for Gun Rights is the nation’s largest “no compromise” pro-gun organization, with 4.5 million members nationwide.
