The rule would require a Federal Firearm License (FFL) and a background check on ANY firearm transaction where the ATF deems that any kind of “profit” is made.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s beyond chilling that the ATF is virtually OUTLAWING private firearm transactions to ensure the government gets its hands on your personal information and transaction records for their illegal gun registry.<\/u><\/p>\n
We warned that this exact situation would happen when John Cornyn and the other back-stabbing Republicans voted for the Cornyn-Murphy \u201ccompromise\u201d \u2013 and we were right!<\/em><\/p>\n Right now, our lawyers are combing through the ATF\u2019s new rule and preparing a lawsuit to defend your God-given rights.<\/p>\n But Congress can\u2019t sit idly by while rogue ATF bureaucrats usurp their legislative power.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why we need YOU to call on them to DEFUND this rule during the appropriations process and use the Congressional Review Act to REPEAL it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n Please add your name to our prewritten letter to your Representative and two Senators urging them to DEFUND and REPEAL the ATF\u2019s new rule.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Rumors had indicated that the ATF\u2019s rule would make it illegal for you to sell more than 5 firearms without a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and conducting background checks.<\/p>\n But the official version of the rule is even more draconian: \u201cEven a single firearm transaction, or offer to engage in a transaction\u2026 may be sufficient to require a license.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n If you sell just ONE FIREARM<\/u> and the ATF decides that your motivation was to earn a profit, you could be facing 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.<\/span><\/p>\n As you read further, it doesn\u2019t get any better\u2026<\/p>\n The goal is to force private sellers to either become \u201cdealers\u201d that are regulated by the ATF or stop conducting firearm transactions for fear of running afoul of this new rule.<\/p>\n But with your support, we can DEFUND the rule so the ATF has no ability to enforce it\u2026<\/p>\n \u2026and even if Biden vetoes legislation to REPEAL the rule, the vote will send a powerful message to the courts that the ATF has overstepped their authority.<\/p>\n Right now, we have allies on Capitol Hill who are working to defund this rule. But these congressmen want public support to put pressure on the rest of the Congress.<\/p>\n The Biden Administration\u2019s latest offensive against the Second Amendment is taking the form of a pincer movement.<\/p>\n On the one hand, they\u2019re trying to close off private purchases by forcing virtually any American who wants to buy a firearm to go through a federally licensed dealer.<\/p>\n But at the same time, they\u2019re using their \u201czero-tolerance\u201d policy to deliberately put as many of these federally licensed firearm dealers out of business as possible.<\/p>\n Pretty soon, it will be difficult to purchase a firearm anywhere\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n \u2026Which is EXACTLY what they want.<\/strong><\/p>\n Stopping Americans from buying firearms is the first step.<\/p>\n Once the number of gun owners has declined, the ATF can use the illegal national gun registry they\u2019ve compiled to come after the firearms you already own.<\/p>\n It\u2019s critical that gun owners band together and hold the line here.<\/p>\n\n
\nYou can see how this rule would be ripe for abuse, giving the ATF the ability to come after almost anyone who conducts a private firearm transaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.gunowners.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/tellcongresstodefund-300x34.png\")
