From Fox News:
President BidenĀ on Thursday announced a set of executive actions and legislative proposals on gun control, saying that gun violence is “a public health crisis” and the administration’s actions do not contraveneĀ Second AmendmentĀ rights.Ā
The administration aims to “confront not just the gun crisis but what is actually a public health crisis,” Biden said in his remarks in the Rose Garden. He was joined by Vice President Harris.
“Nothing I’m about to recommend in any way impinges on the Second Amendment,” Biden said. “These are phony arguments suggesting that these are Second Amendment rights at stake from what we’re talking about.”
Continuing, Biden said: “But no amendment to the Constitution is absolute … From the very beginning, you couldn’t own any weapon you wanted to own. From the very beginningĀ the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren’t allowed to have weapons. So the idea is just bizarre to suggest that some of the things we’re recommending are contrary to the Constitution.”
In attendance were several high-profile gun control activists, including Brady United president Kris Brown, former Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., and Fred Guttenberg.Ā
An administration official detailed the actions to reporters on Wednesday. Among them, Biden is asking the Justice Department (DOJ) to proposeĀ within a monthĀ a rule to stop “ghost guns,” which are “kits” people can buy legally toĀ assembleĀ a functioning firearm that does not have a serial number.Ā
Biden is also asking the DOJ to proposeĀ within 60 days a rule on braces used for handguns, which make them more accurate; to proposeĀ action on “community violence intervention”;Ā to publish suggestions forĀ “red flag” legislation; and is askingĀ his administration to issue a report on gun trafficking.Ā
Biden also formally announced David Chipman as the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).Ā
A senior administration official Wednesday said that Chipman will respect the Second Amendment while he enforces gun laws.Ā
