Atlanta, GA – Today, President Biden is announcing six executive actions to curb gun ownership. The proposed rules restrict the proliferation of “ghost guns” (unregistered firearms that can be assembled from parts), encourage states to adopt red flag laws, and tighten rules on certain modified pistols. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement:  

“President Biden’s executive actions will make it harder for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their families, and would have done nothing to prevent recent mass shooting episodes. As we saw during the riots of 2020, it is absolutely critical that law-abiding Americans maintain their constitutional right to possess firearms. At the very least, President Biden should allow Congress to consider Second Amendment legislation, instead of taking the decision out of their hands.  This is the first of what we expect will be many attempts by the Biden Administration to undercut our Second Amendment rights and make Americans less safe.”
