_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that President
Biden's gun policies are unconstitutional and should never be approved.
Whereas the right of the people to keep and bear arms is enshrined in our
Constitution as the Second Amendment;
Whereas our Nation's Founders believed this right to be fundamental for
Americans to protect themselves and the state of freedom;
Whereas President Biden has directly attacked this right by issuing numerous
Executive orders and calling for stricter gun control policies;
Whereas President Biden's Executive actions on pistol-braced firearms are an
unconstitutional attack on Americans exercising their Second Amendment
rights;
Whereas President Biden's Executive actions on homemade firearms, such as 3D
printed firearm files or unfinished receiver blanks, are an
unconstitutional attack on Americans exercising their Second Amendment
rights;
Whereas President Biden has called for Congress to pass unconstitutional laws
requiring background checks on all firearm transfers, unconstitutionally
banning ``assault weapons'' and ``high-capacity magazines'', and holding
law-abiding gun manufacturers liable for the acts of criminals;
Whereas President Biden's gun restriction proposals would effectively ban
commonly owned firearms and magazines used for lawful purposes;
Whereas President Biden's gun restriction proposals would criminalize private
firearm transfers; and
Whereas President Biden's gun restriction proposals would seek to hold gun
manufacturers and dealers civilly liable, encouraging abuse of the court
system to drive them out of business through meritless litigation: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives
that--
(1) it should be the policy of the United States to
strengthen the Second Amendment rights of Americans and prevent
the potential erosion of these rights; and
(2) Congress should never stop fighting to protect the
Second Amendment.
