Biden and Harris Unveil New Gun Control Order Amid National Debate

It seems President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are revving up the rhetoric on gun control yet again. With a splendid timing that only a career politician could muster, the duo is set to discuss gun violence while unveiling yet another executive order aimed at tightening the noose around the Second Amendment. Scheduled for the ever-thoughtful hour of 4:45 p.m., one can only assume they’re hoping for those prime viewers who enjoy a side of government overreach with their afternoon coffee.

This latest edict is touted as a two-pronged approach to tackle the gun industry, but it’s hard to ignore the glaring implications for law-abiding citizens. First up on the agenda is a concerted effort to curb machine gun conversion devices, which, while indeed illegal, can somehow find their way into the hands of nefarious characters—often through illegal means that already bypass every existing law. But hey, while we’re at it, why not demonize those 3D printers? Clearly, they are the source of all evil in this scenario. After all, isn’t it easier to point fingers at devices than to address true crime prevention?

On the other end of Biden’s brainchild is an initiative sporting an almost parental tone: make school shooting drills less traumatic for children. Sure, because nothing says “let’s keep kids safe,” like prepping them for hypothetical violence with an extra sprinkle of sensitivity. If the intent is to ease the fears of children in schools, it raises the question—wouldn’t it be better to reinforce safety rather than continually preparing them for a catastrophic event that many young minds shouldn’t even have to contemplate? But then again, that approach doesn’t seem to fit the liberal agenda of capitalizing on fear.

The timing of the executive order is suspect, considering it follows a tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, which claimed four lives, including two beloved teachers. Rather than addressing the underlying issues that lead to such violence—issues that go beyond easy blame on gun access—this order appears to be merely another political stunt to boost the president’s legacy or perhaps distract from the myriad of other challenges facing his administration, such as skyrocketing inflation or border crises.

Biden’s concern over gun violence is echoed by his advisers, who insist this crisis must be treated as a public health emergency. However, letting the Surgeon General of the United States classify gun violence this way not only trivializes actual public health issues but also positions law-abiding gun owners as social pariahs in a battle that seems more about political gain than authentic safety. It brings to light the age-old question: when will those in power start prioritizing the rights and security of responsible citizens over emotional headlines?
