Attorney General Pamela Bondi Statement Regarding Creation of a 2nd Amendment Task Force

WASHINGTON - Attorney General Pamela Bondi released the following statement regarding her creation of a 2nd Amendment Task Force at the Department of Justice:

“The prior administration placed an undue burden on gun owners and vendors by targeting law-abiding citizens exercising their 2nd Amendment rights. The Department of Justice’s new 2nd Amendment Task Force will combine department-wide policy and litigation resources to advance President Trump’s pro-gun agenda and protect gun owners from overreach.”

There were no new federal gun laws passed during the Biden administration and only minor changes to any existing ones.

How do they find these people willing to make up shit out of whole cloth? I mean, seriously.

Biden signs gun safety bill into law

https://www.npr.org/2022/06/25/1107626030/biden-signs-gun-safety-law

President Biden on Saturday signed into law the first major gun safety legislation passed by Congress in nearly 30 years. The signing comes just over a month after the mass shooting at a Texas elementary school killed 19 children and two adults. That attack came 10 days after a racist mass shooting at a Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket killed 10 Black people.

"While this bill doesn't do everything I want, it does include actions I've long called for that are going to save lives," Biden said just before signing the measure.

"Today, we say more than enough. We say more than enough," he added. "At a time when it seems impossible to get anything done in Washington, we are doing something consequential."

The legislation, which passed the House 234-193 Friday night following Senate approval Thursday, includes incentives for states to pass so-called red flag laws that allow groups to petition courts to remove weapons from people deemed a threat to themselves or others.

No new laws and minor changes. There's been nothing significant regarding firearms on the Federal level since the mid 1990's. Its bizarre that they would even claim such.
