Joe Biden forgets that his current job title is “President of the United States” and not “King” from time to time, and it’s up to others to remind him about the very clear limitations of his power.
This time, Biden seemed to forget that he can’t just simply craft and pass laws about the Second Amendment. According to Fox News, Biden is looking to pass a ban on “ghost guns.” You’ll recall that the Democrat Party’s understanding of ghost guns is…questionable.
Recall California lawmaker Keven de Leon back in 2014 who claimed that a ghost gun could rattle off an absurd amount of bullets in “half a second” from its “30 Calibur magazine clip.”
Ghost guns, which are private-made firearms without serial numbers, take it out the federal database. It makes it virtually impossible for anyone to trace it. The government fears that 3D printing will make it impossible to track how many citizens have armed themselves.
As reported by Fox News, the Biden administration’s plan is to make gun kits fall under new rules in order to make assembling your own gun illegal:
Biden’s administration will reclassify guns kits so that they are firearms according to the Gun Control Act. This requires manufacturers to have licenses and serial numbers. Senior administration officials stated that commercial sellers would also need to undergo background checks prior to selling the kits.
…
Since the beginning of the federal regulatory process, the rule has made its way through almost a year. Gun safety groups as well as Democrats in Congress are pushing the Justice Department for completion.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, like most Democrats, is currently slapping the “panic” button in front of cameras, making it seem as if ghost guns are so dangerous that the rules the constitution lays out should be ignored in order to allow the Biden administration to rule them illegal by fiat:
“It’s high time for a ghost gun exorcism before the proliferation peaks and before more people get hurt — or worse,” Sen. Chuck Schumer said in a statement Sunday. “My message is a simple one: No more waiting on these proposed federal rules.” Ghost guns are “too easy to build, too hard to trace and too dangerous to ignore.”
It’s apparently a strategy Biden is willing to take up as he’s expected to make a “rule” about ghost guns in the Rose Garden today.
However, many conservatives and gun rights organizations are speaking up and reminding Biden and the Democrats that just skipping the process isn’t something they can just do. Rep. Thomas Massie can also be included.
“The Constitution does not authorize the federal government to prevent you from making your own firearm. This is a truth that has been established for more than 200 years. Also, Article 1, Section 1 (literally the first operative sentence in the Constitution) says Congress makes law, not POTUS!” tweeted Massie.
You can make your firearms by yourself. The Constitution doesn’t allow the federal government to stop you making them. This is a truth that has been established for more than 200 years. Additionally, Article 1 Section 1 (literally, the first sentence of the Constitution’s operative paragraph) states that Congress creates law and not the President. pic.twitter.com/vTFRvKYTVi

Massie is correct. The Constitution is pretty clear about how things are done in this country, but the Biden Administration and many Democrats don’t seem to care.
Just like Biden tried to force businesses with over 100 employees to give their employees vaccine shots. This was, however, ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Many businesses who were enforcing the mandate upon employees ended up reversing it and retreating as fast as they could.
Biden crossed the line and was rebuked by the Constitution.
Biden can try to enact “rules” all day, but the moment they’re challenged is the moment their coffin lid begins to close. There will be battles from various courts upholding and striking down the rule, eventually leading to the Supreme Court where the Justices will simply glance at the Constitution and come to the conclusion that Biden has limited powers and just saying “it’s a rule” isn’t one of them.
