Have you heard of shadow banning? If you haven’t, the phrase is typically used to talk about social media companies not outright removing posts about subjects that they don’t like (like pro-gun posts) but, instead, those social media companies adjust their software so that those posts aren’t suggested to anyone (or to very few people).
It’s their way of saying that they allow free speech and allow people to say what they want while not making those “objectionable” posts easy to find.
So, you may be asking what shadow banning has to do with today’s story, and that’s a great question.
Many people don’t realize that the Biden administration, through the ATF, has, effectively, been working to shadow ban gun ownership by not directly banning gun ownership but by making it harder and harder for legal firearms retailers to stay in business through the ATF’s zero tolerance policy (you can read more about that policy here). But two pro-gun organizations have taken action to take down the ATF’s zero tolerance policy. Michael Clements writes,
Two Virginia-based gun rights organizations have sued the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) over policy changes concerning federal firearms licensed (FFL) gun dealers.
Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) claim that the policy was rewritten to advance the Biden administration’s anti-Second Amendment agenda.
“This zero-tolerance policy towards lawful commerce guaranteed by the Second Amendment is just the latest example of this Administration weaponizing federal agencies against their political enemies,” GOA Senior Vice President Eric Pratt wrote in a statement on the organization’s website.
“It also is just one more compelling piece of evidence to support gun owners’ demands that Congress defund the ATF.”
Look, the ATF’s zero tolerance policy under Biden takes away any grace for honest mistakes and expects legal gun dealers to be superhuman, to be computers with their paperwork, when, previously, the ATF only went after gun dealers for willful violations.
The fact of the matter is that the ATF can’t even live up to their standards for paperwork, so, it’s insane that they are trying to insist on this from legal businesses. And that’s in addition to the questionable way that this policy was implemented in the first place.
It’s clear that the zero tolerance policy is simply a way for the Biden administration to make it more and more difficult for Americans to legally buy guns by putting legal gun dealers out of business.
The ATF’s zero tolerance policy is wrong, and that policy needs to be canceled.
As long as George Soros is around to buy and sell our legal system gun banning (second amendment rights) are going to be. This excuse for a president has by pressure from Soros signed away our rights to defined our country to the United ,Nations. So of course this a strong connection
There 253 Soros funded groups that are in the game
At 92 years of age Soros is retiring and leaving all to his son Alex. Stand by as things are going to explode. There are going to be more bought judges trying to supend our constitution
Never doughty George will still be swinging his money sword to destroy this country and our population.
Soros may well be (or have been) the most evil sonofabitch of the century. His goons, the Koch brothers, are no better.
Buy your gun’s NOW. Once you have them it will be harder for the government to take them. Government’s object is to limit availability by hamstringing gun dealers or by banning certain gun’s, so buy while you can. Buy private party (no records) before government makes THAT illegal.Same for ammo.
Great name, “Ima.” And damn good advice.
