Their main concern is a proposed rule that could potentially be a backdoor path to a federal gun registry. There is a possibility that gun records dating back to 2001 could end up in the federal government&#8217;s hands.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The lawmakers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/541554443\/Cloud-ATF-Letter-FINAL\">wrote<\/a> that they &#8220;are concerned&#8221; the Biden administration &#8220;is leveraging its power in a way to establish a federal gun registry&#8221; and that they are &#8220;opposed&#8221; to the proposed rule in question.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;According to recently published documents, the ATF has collected 54.7 million records in FY 2021 alone,&#8221; the letter reads. &#8220;It is an outrage that the federal government would maintain such extensive records of law-abiding citizens&#8217; law-abiding firearm transfers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The letter also points out that Congress &#8220;made it clear in the Firearms Owners&#8217; Protection Act that the federal government shall not create a federal gun registry and has prohibited ATF from creating any centralized databases with its funding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This gives us serious cause for concern that the Biden administration is intent on creating a federal gun registry by circumventing the legislative process,&#8221; the House Republicans continued. &#8220;In fact, a GAO report from 2016 was titled, &#8216;ATF Did Not Always Comply with the Appropriations Act Restriction and Should Better Adhere to Its Policies.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers ended their letter by asking the ATF a series of questions, including the number of records currently held and the amount of records already digitized.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is critical that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives does not use its power to encroach on the privacy of gun owners and restrict their Second Amendment rights,&#8221; the lawmakers wrote, demanding a response by the end of the year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has more details <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/republicans-atf-groundwork-backdoor-federal-gun-registry\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of 51 Republicans wrote a letter to the acting director for the Bureau of &hellip; <a title=\"Federal gun registry potentially being set up via backdoor methods\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=119979\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Federal gun registry potentially being set up via backdoor methods<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-liberals-suck"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=119979"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119979\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":119981,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119979\/revisions\/119981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=119979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=119979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=119979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
