Opinion: President Biden comes to Southern California to peddle nonsensical gun policies
President Joe Biden came to Southern California on Tuesday to visit with members of the Monterey Park community where a horrific mass shooting took place in January. As he prepares his expected campaign for re-election, the president showcased his opposition to gun violence.But not everybody agrees that the answer is passing more laws, especially the type of laws that only affect law-abiding gun retailers and ordinary Americans exercising their Second Amendment rights.
In his executive order, Biden directed his Cabinet to “encourage effective use” of “extreme risk protection orders,” also known as “red flag” laws. He ordered the Secretary of Defense, Attorney General, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Surgeon General, Secretary of Education and Secretary of Homeland Security to “partner with” law enforcement, health care providers, educators and community leaders in this effort. The good intentions here could easily go awry.
The executive order also directs the heads of federal law enforcement agencies to “ensure the prompt entry of ballistics data recovered in connection with criminal investigations” into the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, a policy that Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, called “science fiction.” The idea, Massie said, is to have a “ballistics database” that stores “a fingerprint of a gun using the shell casing or the bullet.
In addition to his executive order, Biden also called on Congress to pass new laws, including a renewal of expired federal legislation that bans so-called assault weapons. However, the Supreme Court has said there is an individual right to keep and bear arms, and the government does not have unlimited license to decide which arms may be owned.
