A spokesman for the group explains why this gun control order is completely unnecessary.
On the one-year anniversary of their opening an office dedicated to cutting back gun violence, the Biden Administration recently called for a new executive order on gun control. With this, several restrictions would be put in place, including the 3D printing of parts that would “convert” guns into automatics.
Of course, the Gun Owners of America were quick to condemn such an order, believing it to be an absolute waste of effort.
Erich Pratt, who serves as Senior Vice President of the group, noted, “The White House just made a huge mistake by reminding gun owners of Kamala’s radical, gun-grabbing agenda, with the election a mere month or so away. Kamala Harris just claimed responsibility for each infringement—every banned gun and part—by ATF in the last four years, so we are pushing back and calling her out.”
Aidan Johnston, Director of Federal Affairs for the Gun Owners of America, added, “Shockingly, Kamala Harris is weaponizing the ‘enhanced background check’ for young adults into a tool for gun confiscation. If an existing gun owner goes to purchase a new firearm legally, the government may ‘red flag’ them instead and seize their currently owned firearms in the process. The chilling effect this could have on new gun purchases is unimaginable.”
Sam Parades, another Gun Owners of America spokesman, is available to speak on this subject, serving as Executive Director of the Gun Owners of America.
Stephen Willeford, the 2017 “hero with a gun” who serves as the spokesman for the Gun Owners of America, is also available for interview.
Q&A:
- What are your personal thoughts on what has been introduced in the Biden Administration’s latest executive order?
- What’s probably the most devastating of what was produced in the order? The “red flag” laws to stop potential gun purchasers before an “enhanced background check”? Or perhaps another?
- Is the call for a task force to further “demonize” 3D printing or the production of homemade firearms a bit much when it comes to the invasion of privacy?
- Do you believe Kamala Harris will keep up President Biden’s strict gun push if she is elected President?
- FOR STEPHEN: You recently wrote a book called A Town Called Sutherland Springs: Faith and Heroism Through Tragedy, revolving around your 2017 “hero with a gun” situation. Tell us more about how this came together, and why it’s such an important read right now.
- FOR STEPHEN: Where can people find your book?
- Where can we learn more about you, as well as Gun Owners of America?
