Joe Biden went to Monterey California to capitalize on the mass murder that occurred there during the Lunar New Year’s celebration by announcing a new Executive Order with enhanced background checks for guns. Criminals from sea to shining sea are shuddering with worry that they won’t pass the Biden background checks. Everyone knows that violent felons, domestic abusers and certified gang members prefer to purchase the weapons they intend to use for nefarious purposes from reputable arms dealers.

I hope you read the above with dripping and utter disdain. That is the way it was intended. If you remember the Monterey Park mass shooting, it was an horrific event that busted all of the mainstream media narratives. The shooter, Huu Tran Can was a 72 year old Vietnamese man. He was not a 17 year old White male. Our Deanna wrote “Monterey Park Shooting Doesn’t Fit Narrative” and told you all about this:

Okay, let’s back up the narrative track just a little bit. The shooter was not white – strike one. An “assault rifle” wasn’t used – strike two. The shooter is an older man – strike three. What’s left? THE GUN! Let’s call it by a big scary name, and lament that California’s gun control laws are clearly not working. Is that the narrative the police and the media are truly going to go with now? Well, CNN actually identified the “magazine-fed semi-automatic assault pistol” that was recovered in Alhambra, where the shooter was disarmed.

“Automatic assault pistol” is a hand gun. From the South China Morning Post:

Tran used a MAC-10, a semi-automatic gun, in the shooting. He bought that gun in 1999 but it was not registered with the state of California, Luna said.
Police recovered two other weapons, the pistol Tran used to take his own life and a rifle at his home.

Oh my stars and garters, Tran didn’t go through a background check? The cheek of the mass murderer. But, Joe Biden is going to fix it, it’s just common sense. He’s going to have AG Merrick Garland redefine what it means to hold a Federal Firearm License (FFL):

President Joe Biden took executive action Tuesday that seeks to increase the number of background checks conducted during gun sales as the White House reverts to unilateral ways to tackle gun control amid bleak prospects in Congress.

The order stops short of requiring universal background checks, which the president has asked Congress to pass through legislation. His action instead directs Attorney General Merrick Garland to clarify what it means to be “engaged in the business” of selling firearms.

Federal law requires that individuals in the business of selling guns be federally licensed and therefore check the backgrounds of buyers. Under the order, Garland will use his discretion to ensure gun sellers “willfully violating the law” and those unaware of background requirements become compliant.

“We remember and mourn today, but I’m here with you today to act,” Biden said at a Boys & Girls Club in Monterey Park, California, where he grieved with family members of 11 people killed in a mass shooting there in January. “It’s just common sense to check whether someone is a felon, a domestic abuser before they buy a gun.”

I don’t trust Merrick Garland to clarify what it means to eat a sandwich, do you? Here Joe announces his new Executive Order:

Let’s break it down some more:

“Every lawful action” means rewriting Federal Firearms Laws to do an end run around the Constitution. The Left has an unbelievable hatred for the First and Second Amendments.

Ban assault weapons. Ban them again. Joe must have been tired. He is not really yelling:

BIDEN: "Ban assault weapons. Ban them again. Do it now. Do something. Do something big."

Let us note that, yet again, that criminals do not submit to background checks. They are criminals. They are no-good-niks. They do not follow the laws. What The Left would adore beyond anything is to void the Second Amendment. Right after they void the First Amendment. We know the desires of their heart. Background checks just put a nice little zing to it.

And, just to reinforce my main point, in case you forget:

It'll be interesting to see how the criminals feel about having to lawfully do a background check… oh wait, they won't, so once again, this really only affects law-abiding citizens. This administration is a senior center clown show.
