Many Americans wondered if Joe Biden was still doing anything as president or if he was simply enjoying lame duck status, when suddenly this popped up on Fox News. President Biden is preparing to sign a new executive order aimed at reducing gun violence, the media outlet reports. The order is expected to focus on emerging firearms threats, including machine gun conversion devices and 3D-printed firearms. The White House plans to establish a new task force to assess these threats and improve active shooter drills in schools.

Biden is like the student who skips the entire semester of school and then shows up the final week before the exam and asks the teacher if he can make up the work so he can possibly pass the class. His adminstration, with now presidential candidate Kamala Harris named as the border czar, did absolutely nothing about shutting down our nation’s porous southern border until after 3 1/2 years into his presidency and now, just a month away from the presidential election, he wants him and Kamala to look tough on crime since polling shows the Democrats are getting punished on that topic.

The announcement comes just days after the mass shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, which left four dead and 17 injured, and amid concerns about the evolving nature of firearm technology. A senior administration official told Fox News that while machine gun conversion devices are already illegal under federal law, they continue to be used in crimes across the country. These devices convert semi-automatic pistols into fully automatic firearms.

In addition, the rise of 3D-printed firearms—firearms built from computer code downloaded from the internet—poses another challenge for law enforcement. These weapons often lack serial numbers, making them difficult to trace, and can be made from non-metal materials, making them undetectable by magnetometers at airports and other secure locations.

The executive order will establish an emerging firearms threats task force, which will include leadership from various federal departments and agencies. The task force will be responsible for issuing a report within 90 days that assesses the threats posed by both conversion devices and 3D-printed firearms. The report will also review federal agencies’ abilities to detect, intercept and seize these weapons and their components.

Additionally, the order will direct several key officials, including the Secretary of Education and the Attorney General, to develop and publish updated active shooter drills for schools, in an effort to better prepare students for emergency situations.

The NRA responded swiftly to the news. Randy Kozuch, Executive Director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), criticized the executive order, stating that it is “just one more attempt by the Biden-Harris Administration to deflect attention from their soft-on-crime policies.” He added, “The orders are notably heavy on election-year rhetoric and light on substance. It’s no secret that Americans don’t feel safe under the Biden-Harris Administration, as evidenced by the record number of firearms being purchased for the defense of self and family.”

Nowhere in the declaration of an executive order however, does the Biden-Harris administration voice interest in combatting inner city crime and gang violence, which is the source of the most devastating violence week in and week out and leaves many more people killed and wounded such as what happened in Birmingham. With or without Glock switches, that violent attack was going to take place.

  1. With the upward bound of anything not detectable by a magnetometer being a 22lr single shot (last I remember) why do they even bother putting that in…….oh right nevermind forgot I am dealing with disingenuous power freaks.

    • They have very short memories.This issue was thoroughly hashed out when rumors spread (because of a fake movie gun) that Glock had made a gun with no metallic parts that was invisiible to metal detectors. There are provisions in the codes of a number of states on this precise topic. The fact is Glock never made such a gun, and even if it did, bullet cases are made of brass or steel and are NOT invisible to detectors. Add to that the fact that 3d printed guns have been around for how many years now? Either the politicians are brain dead, or think that the voters are–or both.

      • I would imagine that with enough work a glass filled nylon contraption firing a small black powder paper cartridge would be possible. Doubt it would be worth the effort for any practical purposes past someone proving it can be done and as a fuck you to those writing the laws as the plan gets distributed everywhere.

  2. Perhaps we need an executive order that prohibits all of President Obama’s bastard sons from possessing firearms of any type. That would reduce the gun homicide rate by nearly two-thirds.

  3. The idiotic fad of “Shooter in the school” drills are mostly worthless and can needlessly scare the heck of kids (and prog teachers). Reason being the popo fools dream up scenarios and conduct the “training”. This point by Obiden/Harrpy Harris only proves the stopped clock theorem.

    Otherwise ……………..

    • I grew up during the cold
      war and remember the H-bomb drills we used to do – head down on the desk, covered by both arms, kiss your ass goodbye.
      This is all classic sleight -of-hand that magicians use onstage… watch my busy hand, listen to the banter, forget about the target object, it was pocketed when I said ” Nothing up my sleeve …”

  4. A better EO would to just ban violence. Then there would be no more violence since the EO is some deity edict. That would fix everything. Make an EO against laziness, against poverty, against stupidity while they are at it. It will all make the same result.

    • And if we can just elect AOC, I am sure she will do as you suggest. She was a great bartender, something, something, toilet water.

  5. Since the overturning of Chevron Deference. EO’s are the single most dangerous power allowed to be used by any President especially considering the Constitution holds no specific provision to allow for them. It is another made up power.

  6. It would be interesting to see the true demographic breakdown on the use of switches in actual crimes. My guess is that would be considered to racey to talk about.
    Then the stats on the prosecution and incarceration of those criminals. IF any. Again probably too racey to bring up.

  7. i am getting old, and have a little problem with memory —— but wasn’t the vp put charge of gun violence 6 months to a year ago?

      • SAFE,

        No, not just racist, you forgot “misogynist”, too! She checks ALL the ‘intersectional’ boxes – Leftist/fascist, no work experience other than feeding at the public trough, a “person of color” (heh!!), and a blithering mental deficient. A qoudfecta of incompetence!!

  10. while machine gun conversion devices are already illegal under federal law, they continue to be used in crimes across the country

    You don’t say. Funny how that works. Don’t worry, though, I’m sure cracking down harder on the kind of people who *do* obey laws will fix that right up.

    These weapons often lack serial numbers, making them difficult to trace,

    Trace to whom? The guy it was originally stolen from? It’s bad enough you expect the same people who would murder another human being to obey laws about what kind of firearm they can own, are you also going to be shocked that such people neglect to keep your databases up to date?

    • Databases we’re never for the criminals just as the electronic monitoring was never for the terrorists.

    • Yea I’ve always wondered how much importance the serial numbers on a firearm really have in “tracking the criminal”.

      They would just find out who originally bought the weapon. Maybe helps in 5%-10% of cases? IF they actually follow through on checking the path of said firearm if its even possible to.

    • “while machine gun conversion devices are already illegal under federal law, they continue to be used in crimes across the country.”

      Murder is also already illegal.
      But apparently ordinary illegalness wasn’t enough, so obviously the solution is to make these already illegal switches even more illegal, make them illegal-er, make them illegal-est, make them double-super-ultra-plus illegal! You see, grandstanding in an election year by passing a meaningless law making already illegal switches double-super-ultra-plus illegal is so much easier than actually catching criminals, arresting them, and putting them in prison.

  11. What is gun violence? It makes no sense at all. How do inanimate objects commit violence? I think they use that ridiculous term for one reason,…to demonize firearms.

  19. Why a Major Beatdown is Coming in Illinois.

    Another chapter in the saga of the Illinois Assault Weapon Ban is about to be written. this time by a judge who has had enough with the State’s frivolous and inflammatory rhetoric. Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk discusses the matter of Schoenthal v. Raoul, a now successful challenge to the State’s ban on carrying firearms on public transportation. But the arguments for a say of the injunction by the State of Illinois has the trial court pretty ticked off and it appears that someone is about to get a beatdown.

      • Yep, this is the “why”. Not saying that Adams is clean, no. After all, he’s a dem. But the whole reason he’s on the outs now is because he is making things difficult for the Machine.

        Donald Trump did that too…remember, he used to be a democrat too.

  22. I hope it’s a federal snitch line for kids, MI’s new Whitler Youth program needs to go national to continue the slide into the Authoritarian hellscape the blue team wants.

  24. Ladies and Gentlemen, and those who ain’t too sure,

    Greetings, and salutations. It is time to get a grip on reality: innercity crime and criminals are of no concern for people not in the inner city. It is settled science that innercity crime generally takes care of itself. It is the law-abiding gun owner who is the danger. These individuals have ready access to tools of death, and because of perceived lawlessness in the innercities, law-abiding gun owners are hyper tense about the culture of the innercity. Such alleged “law-abiding gun owners”, walk freely among us, and can flip out at any moment, shooting up all the places the really good people frequent and gather in.

    With confiscation of guns possesed by “law-abiding gun owners”, the only remaining threat of gun violence is restricted to the innercities, where it rightly belongs. Safety is then assured by staying out of the innercities. If you can’t do business or entertainment at home, in your pajammas, you need to re-evaluate your lifestyle choices. Guns belong in battle zones, foreign or domestic, not in places good people live, work, and play.

  25. They arw spending money, task force and probably NGOs. Buying voters with paychecks and promises. How long until our governments employ a voting majority?

    • We are already there.

      Mitt Romney was excoriated for talking about the “47%”. And that was years ago. So what does he do? He joins the dems. Yep, that happened.

  26. Regarding the present administration, the White House based portion thereof, the low level of their honesty quotient is truly amazing. Enough said.

    • They’ve never been required to be honest about anything. How could anybody expect them to now know what that even is?
