These policies include new regulations\u200b from the Department of Commerce that impose significant bureaucratic obstacles on U.S. gun companies, hampering their ability to export firearms and ammunitions. Additionally, the Bureau of Alcohol, \u2063Tobacco, Firearms\u200b and Explosives\u200b (ATF) has introduced\u200d the \u200d&#8221;Engaged\u200c in Business&#8221; rule, which redefines casual\u200c firearm sellers as professional dealers, subjecting them to strict regulation. Critics argue this rule facilitates a potential national gun registry and \u2062infringes on Americans&#8217; rights \u2063to self-defense. The administration&#8217;s actions are seen as part of a broader effort to promote a \u200dglobalist agenda and\u2064 control civilian weapon \u200bownership while exempting foreign governments from similar restrictions. \u2064The public was able to comment on these \u200crules during\u2063 the federal \u200drule-making process, though the comment\u2063 period for the\u200b ATF&#8217;s rule has closed.\u2062 Critics\u200b urge continued opposition \u200bto these measures, highlighting issues like unnecessary tracking requirements for exports,\u200b differential treatment between civilian and government firearm \u200bsales, \u2062and the inefficacy of these regulations in reducing crime.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">President Biden is poised to lose his job. Americans are already frustrated with wide-open borders, crime-infested streets, and unaffordable gas, groceries, and rent. Now, his administration has quietly launched a new war on gun owners \u2014 and the lawful gun industry \u2014 before his executive authority is stripped away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an all-too-typical example of executive overreach, a new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2024\/04\/30\/2024-08813\/revision-of-firearms-license-requirements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-you-need-to-know-about-trumps-latest-drug-pricing-moves\/\" title=\"What You Need To Know About Trump\u2019s Latest Drug Pricing Moves\">interim final rule<\/a><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  from Biden\u2019s Department of Commerce will vindictively smother American gun companies with layers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-republicans-introduce-two-bills-to-combat-the-job-killing-biden-agenda\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: Republicans Introduce Two Bills To Combat The \u2018Job-Killing Biden Agenda\u2019\">bureaucratic red tape<\/a> and prevent civilians in other countries from lawfully purchasing American firearms and ammunition. This is not only a clear admission of the Biden administration\u2019s disdain for lawful gun owners, but also a backdoor attempt to villainize and bankrupt domestic manufacturers while pushing the president\u2019s globalist agenda beyond our own borders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, Biden\u2019s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has launched its own crusade against Americans\u2019 right to self-defense. ATF\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/firearms\/final-rule-definition-engaged-business-dealer-firearms#:~:text=The%20final%20rule%20implements%20the,than%20a%20gunsmith%20or%20pawnbroker).\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cEngaged in Business\u201d rule<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  reclassifies gun owners who occasionally sell a firearm as professional dealers, subjecting them to a web of complicated and burdensome regulations with no proven benefits. This rule unconstitutionally expands the agency\u2019s control over ordinary gun owners while also taking another step toward the de facto creation of a national gun owner registry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Americans have the right \u2014 and the responsibility \u2014 to fight back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the executive branch proposes these restrictions, without the consent of the people\u2019s representatives in Congress, they\u2019re subject to the federal rule-making process. During that process, Americans can submit comments opposing the rule. Those comments must be read by federal officials and should influence the administration\u2019s final decision to move forward with the proposed changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the comment period has closed on the ATF\u2019s business rule, Biden\u2019s ridiculous new firearm export ban is still open for debate. Here\u2019s why you should <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/heritageaction.quorum.us\/campaign\/61002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">join us in our campaign<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  of opposition:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, all U.S.-made firearms are already marked with serial numbers, but this rule would require manufacturers to adopt new export control classification numbers (ECCNs) for additional tracking abroad. This would expand the bureaucratic process \u2014 increasing compliance costs and lost revenue for American firearm manufacturers \u2014 but it would not improve tracking, seeing as any country can already record serial numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Second, while the rule will drastically restrict sales to foreign civilians, it would not impact exports to foreign governments, which reflects the Left\u2019s fundamental belief that only those in power should have weapons, not the people they govern.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The administration has tried to defend this hypocrisy with bad-faith attacks on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/debunking-the-myth-of-americas-unique-gun-problem\/\" title=\"Debunking The Myth Of \u2018America\u2019s Unique Gun Problem\u2019\">civilian gun ownership<\/a>, falsely claiming that firearms legally exported to civilians are more likely to be diverted into black markets than firearms sold to foreign militaries and police agencies. But virtually every credible analysis of international criminal gun trafficking shows that the biggest sources of guns used for crime or terrorism are government stockpiles and illegal imports, not guns legally imported for lawful civilian sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Third, as usual, this additional regulation will do nothing to curb crime at home or abroad. The ATF\u2019s own <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/firearms\/docs\/report\/nfcta-volume-ii-part-iv-crime-guns-recovered-outside-us-and-traced-le\/download#:~:text=These%20recovered%20and%20traced%20crime,with%20firearms%20lawfully%20exported%20from\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">analysis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  of international gun crime tracing found that less than 1% of the firearms lawfully exported out of the U.S. between 2016 and 2020 were used in international crime. Just like in the United States, there\u2019s no reason to believe that ordinary lawful gun owners in other countries are a driving force behind violent crime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The export ban, along with the massive expansion of power at the ATF, are election-year political games designed to appease the president\u2019s radical base at the expense of our constitutional rights. President Biden has demonstrated time and time again his disdain for gun owners and willingness to subvert the American people to advance his agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our representatives on the Hill have launched efforts to overturn both rules \u2014 and they need our support. Heritage Action launched a new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/heritageaction.quorum.us\/campaign\/61002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">campaign<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  to help Americans submit comments in support of protecting the Second Amendment. Together, we can fight Biden\u2019s executive overreach and prevent the suffocation of firearms manufacturers nationwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>* * *<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kevin Roberts, Ph.D., is president of Heritage Action for America.
