Whistleblowers within the ATF have alleged that the Biden regime is launching a scheme to enact an effective ban on private gun sales before the 2024 presidential election. If successful, this would be among the most significant assaults on the Second Amendment in American history.
According to Empower Oversight President Tristan Levitt, the ATF, at the request of the Biden White House, has drafted a 1,300-page document justifying a rule that would “effectively” ban the sale of all private firearms.
On March 14, 2023, Joe Biden issued an executive order to “clarify the definition of who engages in the firearms trade and is therefore required to become Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs), in order to increase compliance with federal background check requirements for firearms sales.” The purpose is to move America as close to universal background checks as possible without new legislation.

The Federalist reports that the rule would achieve this effective ban on private gun sales simply by mandating background checks on all personal firearm exchanges. The person charged with this dangerous assault on the Second Amendment is Senior Policy Advisor Eric Epstein, who served as a division advisor to the Phoenix Field Office during Operation Broadcast (the precursor to Operation Fast and Furious).

Levitt points out that this rule not only violates the Second Amendment, but also bypasses the separation of powers section of the Constitution. This gives “all the legislative powers” to Congress while requiring the president to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”
It would also circumvent the Constitution's separation of powers, which grants “all legislative powers” to Congress while requiring the president to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” https://t.co/TinZVyN3HK

This is not the first time the Biden regime has targeted gun owners in America. The Gateway Pundit reported last year that the ATF issued a rule banning millions of guns and threatening gun owners with up to a decade in prison for refusing to comply.
The regime also launched a scheme to promote the ATF's illegal gun registry, prompting Gun Owners of America (GOA) to issue a warning.
Even if the courts overturn this rule on the assumption that it is effective, what prevents the regime from applying it anyway?
