GOA, GOF File Public Comments Against Biden Universal Registration Check Rule

The ultimate goal of anti-gunners is to confiscate guns, which would require a comprehensive database of firearm owners.

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) filed public comments against the proposed rule from the Biden ATF which could require anyone who sells a single gun to register as a dealer and conduct background checks. The Tennessee Firearms Association and the Virginia Citizens Defense League joined in the brief.

As argued by GOA in the full comment, this rule is nothing more than an attempt to “subvert, circumvent, and effectively repeal” a major provision of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986, which bars federal agencies from maintaining records or a system of registration of firearms, firearm owners, or firearm transactions.

Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President, issued the following statement:

“We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: The ultimate goal of anti-gunners is to confiscate guns, which would require a comprehensive database of firearm owners. Under this rule, the private sale of firearms would now almost always require a background check, and because of GOA research, we know that the records of those sales will eventually end up in the hands of the ATF and be added to their illegal gun registry. This cannot stand.” Read more

THAW Heated Wrap with 5K Power Bank

Nothing can dampen the mood faster than chilly weather, whether at the ball stadium, sitting on the porch with friends or working on an outdoor project.

Colder temperatures are on the way, and that brings into question how to best cope with the wintry weather while not having to give up on fun outings. Cheering on the team should not be determined by how warm it is outside. The same goes for getting together with companions, sipping beverages on the veranda, or tinkering with a pet project that needs to be completed.

But maybe layering up isn’t an option. It’s hard to jump up and root for the team when you can barely move your arms for all the shirts and coats. And what good is a hot mug of cocoa when it’s hard to get the cup to your mouth. What’s called for is a way to stay warm without bundling up with every stitch of clothing in the closet.

The THAW Heated Wrap is the perfect way to stay warm in comfortable out in the elements. This rechargeable wrap will keep the wearer stylishly toasty while providing up to eight hours of wearable warmth.
