Gabby Giffords’ organization, Giffords, is showing its endorsement for the expected executive gun controls that the Biden Administration plans to enforce in the near future. The administration is contemplating action to expand background checks as part of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which includes a provision to redefine firearms dealers to cover those who profit from gun sales.

Broadening Background Check Expansion and Democratic Backing

For a long time, Democrats have been advocating for expanded background checks, and the provision in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act provides the means for such an expansion by broadening the definition of firearms dealers. Giffords has welcomed the news of the forthcoming gun control measures by the Biden Administration.

Opposition from Gun Owners of America

The Gun Owners of America (GOA) has made a pledge to legally challenge the executive gun control and is urging Congress to repeal the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. GOA believes that the law has been weaponized and does not serve the interests of gun owners. They call upon Congress to take appropriate action to rectify the situation.

Concerns about Gun Registry

Critics, including Representative Andrew Clyde, express concerns about expanded background checks potentially leading to a gun registry. They argue that enforcing such checks would inevitably result in the creation of a registry, despite the fact that the Firearm Owners’ Protection Act of 1986 strictly prohibits the establishment of such a registry.

Conclusion: Stances of Different Groups on Executive Gun Controls

As the Biden Administration gears up to enforce executive gun controls through expanded background checks, various groups are voicing their opinions. Gabby Giffords’ gun control group supports these measures, while the Gun Owners of America opposes them and calls on Congress to safeguard Second Amendment rights. The debate on gun control measures is likely to intensify in the upcoming days.
