Biden’s New Hidden Gun Control (That No One is Talking About)

"If you don't have a uterus you should have no say about abortion!" OK, if you've never owned, fired, or know fuck all about firearms, well...

One thing I wish you mentioned is that with every revoked FFL license all of the forms/files that dealer possess has to be turned into the AFT to be “stored”/digitized and added to their “not a registry” registry

I have an uncle who is 81. He teaches skeet shooting at the same high school he and his 4 brothers graduated from. He still ropes steers and breaks broncos. He sleeps on a bed which is made from 3 pallets of ammo. I look up to him as one of a dying breed.

My local gun store just went through this. He finally won after almost a year. Our local ATF is a real prick, soon as he walked in the shop, he told the owner " your ass is going to jail". Fuck these alphabet agencies.

As a 21 year old guy it terrifies me to see what this country is going to and knowing that there’s less and less people my age who will actually stand up and fight against these kind of things. I just pray that things change for the better and we start heading back towards the direction that this country was built on and we continue to be the amazing free country we should be.

As someone living in a country with strict gun laws, let me say one thing. Criminals still got guns, it's the law abiding citizens that don't.

We had an audit at our store a few months ago and they were not joking about 0 tolerance. These guys were mad about mistakes that the customers were making. All the backgrounds had to be pretty much perfect or recommended only 3-ish mistakes max. They really are trying to push out gunstores around the country. They said if we have any mistakes again the next time we get audited. Sucks because I know there will be at least one and there goes 40+ years of an honest loyal business.

It just happened to me. I went into my audit confidently. I am meticulous with my record keeping. The ATF agent was courteous and professional. After verifying every serial number in inventory against my A&D book, we go through every 4473 line by line. Then it happened. He spotted one minor error. His face completely changed. "I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it. It's over and you can never reapply." I did not even understand what he was talking about initially. Then he hands me a piece of paper explaining the revocation process. He said in the past, it was the sort of mistake that we would just correct on the spot and move on. I turned in my A&D book and all of the 4473 files last week. Part of my soul died that day. I was not a "rogue gun dealer." I am an honest man who tried his best to conduct his business legally. It doesn't matter if citizens keep their right to bear arms if there are no dealers or manufacturers left.

I lived in Mexico (a country with one of the strictest gun control laws) for over 8 years and the government literally just expects you to die and not defend yourself. Craziest thing too, cartels have guns stolen or given to by some sort of government so like 90% of gun related deaths are sanctioned by the government.

Seems pretty suspicious that the ATF just happens to be putting together a registry of records obtained from closed gun stores... and then goes in and starts closing a bunch of gun stores.

I can confirm that this is happening, in fact, my family owns one of the mom and pop gun stores that he mentioned and this is exactly what is happening

As a FFL dealer, here's my two cents. In the state I live in, it's perfectly legal for a private transaction to occur between two private parties, or more. So, no 4473 required in those situations. In my state, furthermore, firearms do not need to be "registered" with the state or local law enforcement. When an individual comes in and inquires about a firearm and then decides to purchase said firearm, yes, a 4473 is required and a NICS background check will be submitted (we do it electronically). Now, some FFL dealers in some states may utilize a CCW permit to bypass said NICS background check and complete out the 4473, transferring the firearm to the buyer. We personally do not do that and will always run a NICS background check. Furthermore.. where I work specifically, we do not partake in the Brady law, which means if an individual is delayed you may transfer the firearm if no response within 3 business days, furthering marking that on a 4473. We make sure we have a response and let it run for 30 business days until the NICS background check expires and then start a new 4473 if the customer is still interested. As the FFL dealer, we're not provided a reason to anyone being delayed, or denied - it's for confidentiality of the buyer. A prohibited 4473 is something you catch pre-submitting it to a NICS background check and it always comes based on the federal questions you're answering. The FFL dealer cannot question you about them, but merely prohibit an individual if they answer a question incorrectly. You could technically "destroy" that 4473 as it was not submitted to NICS and then start over, but as a FFL dealer, you'd be going against the very principle of filling out a 4473 at that point. This is where many FFL dealers get in trouble, especially ones that utilize paper 4473's. Gun shops in America do not require all the employees to obtain a personal FFL as they're operating underneath the business FFL. It's the business' responsibility to properly train those people that handle and sell firearms legally, but you have to understand, not everyone has the same compliance goals and understanding with ATF regulations and could be rebellious, getting the entire FFL in jeopardy. When it comes down to it, you have to hold a 4473 for 21 years on-site in a secure storage, and then you may long-term storage it off-site afterwards. The ATF does audits, especially to renew your FFL, of about 5,000 4473's to see if there's any errors on forms, transferring firearms to any prohibited persons et cetera. OK, take that with what you will!

My brother works at a gun store, and he came home one day and started talking about this. Apparently something as simple as calling a brace a stock can get you in serious trouble. They’re looking for any little mistake or screw up you could make, to shut down as many stores as possible. Your taking a risk here Brandon, you’ve gained even more respect from me.

“Boy, all these random acts of violence sure make me wish i was less capable of defending myself”

We already did the talk. Tieing our shoes and stretching, its time to walk.

ZERO TOLERANCE should apply to all politicians. We should have no tolerance for anything they do.

There's new pushes of gun control as of late and they're not stopping. It's getting tiring.

I applied for an FFL over a decade ago. They ended up denying my license claiming that I did not have a business premises. They did not give me a hearing as stated in the 1968 gun control act nor did they approve or deny the license within the time limit required by law. The ATF is not a legal or legitimate organization. They are just trying to drive up firearm prices until only they can afford them. Best to develop weapons that they don't know about or understand.

"If you don't speak up when they come for somebody else, there's going to be nobody left to speak up for you when they come fore you." best quote I've heard all year... and I've heard a quote or 2.

They're not just threatening livelihoods, but LIVES.. While infringing on rights and freedoms.

Got to watch the AFT “audit” my local FFL. The “agent” just straight up straw manned him and threatened him with every other sentence. If this is how Uncle Sam works now, I’m glad my days in his military are over.

I work on a small gun store in MS and we have noticed over the past 5 months back ground checks are taking forever to come back. Possibly even 30 minutes. Then when they do come back there are x5 more delays and denies with no explanation. This has been causing huge hits in our profits and often causing us sales. The ATF and FBI are using anything they can to damage small gun stores across America.

Couldn't agree more . Parents should be held responsible for not raising their children right.. going after firearms is flat out pointless

You know, I have fought long and hard to be a "peaceful" "man. As a veteran and a retired LEO, the things that I see our politicians doing very much concern me. What concerns me far more are those that has sworn to "uphold the constitution of the United States of America" but don't seem to have ever read it. It seems to me that the part that states "Against all enemies, foreign and domestic" have been totally removed and forgotten. I pray that the young men and women who have sworn this oath will actually take it as a point of faith! If they do not, we are doomed!

Pennsylvania just had a huge statewide "audit" that resulted in the permanent closure of a lot of shops. This was back in January, I remember the shop I usually went to was closed for like 4 weeks while the audit was conducted. Luckily they had no issues, but that's really shitty that the government can just harass FFLs like that

This is happening to the gun store I’m working at. What we were told was a very good audit ended with us getting our license revoked. We tried to settle, but the person in the ATF over this stated as per the Biden administration, they are not taking settlements. We sent a blank check with an offer for them to audit us quarterly for 2 years…. They literally just want to close people down. This was over paperwork. A couple of multiple handgun reports were missed, which in the past as long as you submitted them, they didn’t care. Edit: our gun store is the exact target of this. Small family run store. Doesn’t make a million dollars or anything, but enough to make the family comfortable, and not much else.

Any and all restriction on guns, or the ownership by legal citizens, is anti-Constitutional; *and therefore null and void.*

Shortly after you said something about sneezing without covering your mouth I needed to sneeze. So for the first time I can remember I consciously sneeze without covering and I must say there's something liberating about it.

Sadly it’s a similar situation here in the uk. Many police branches are not accepting new licence applications or renewals and people are having their firearms taken from them for things such as the owner being diagnosed with a heart problem. There are also cries from the few surviving gunsmiths in this country who are barely keeping generations old family run businesses running.

“The vast majority of the ATF don’t like this any more than the industry does,” he said. “It’s Biden”. That moment when you’re so anti gun that even the ATF is like “hol up”.

This just happened to my LGS. A couple clerical errors and they lost their license.

I'm in the UK, and even I know that guns don't kill people...people do. Taking FFLs away from small businesses isn't going to stop what is happening. Good Luck!

Turns out. ATF has over a billion gun purchases already in a searchable database.

"If you don't speak up, when they come for somebody else, there's going to be nobody left to speak up for you, when they come for you." Perfectly said.

A local gun shop near me just was audited and got their license revoked due to inconsistencies in their log book

I saw a quote, can’t remember who said it, but if I ever do I’m getting that shit framed. “I have a very strict gun control policy. If there’s a gun in the vicinity, I want to be in control of it.”

“A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." There is a common thread among most all these shooters. They have no community. They are often rejected and even mistreated by the people around them. In the 1940's and 1950's mass shootings were almost unheard of. I think it is no coincidence that we as a society valued community and family back then.

As someone who works at one of these “local FFL’s,” I hate to say that I have already seen this taking effect against others. We go through several checks per 4473 to make sure all is well before the firearm is even taken home. We’ve had two of our “competitors” within 25 miles of us shut down for this reason. When Brandon says “clerical error” it can be anything as small as misspelling a street name, county, city, or even having a checkmark from one box start to fill in another. It is truly horrendous as to what Biden has forced upon us to ensure that we stay in business

Having a big list of everyone who owns guns, their names, addresses and exactly which guns they have is the first step. If you ever wonder what happens next, go look at Australia, New Zealand, France and Canada. Here in Australia, you can get a license for a bolt .22 or I believe 12 guage. That's it. No pistols, no semi-automatics. We have a registry and licensing, it's not particularly hard to get a license without a criminal record but it's $300+ a year and allows them to search your home without a warrant or advance notice. If your gun is not *exactly* where they expect it to be, you're screwed. The second amendment is not important because it gives people the right to own firearms, it's important because the government can't do anything about it; the fact that such a huge portion of the population is armed and you don't even know who is what's important. A scared government serves its people. A scared populous serves its masters.

8:38 "The local agents on the ground, who often times are super chill, and may even love dogs..."

This has been happening in CA for a while. When you can no longer find a store that sells guns, your rights in relation to the 2A are moot. Thanks for the update Brandon.

Im 23 and opened up a gun shop with my father a little over a year ago. Talk about a mom and pop shop. We have been surviving to be sure but those first couple years are always tough. The fact that the government targets people like us is beyond disgraceful and its about time they remember who they are supposed to be working for.

Recently I saw a gun seller forced out of business. This is huge sporting goods store, with a heavy focus on fishing. But because he did not have a seperate storage room that he could use to lock his guns away each night- they closed down his entire business.

The scum are shutting down a local shop thats been around 30 years over 2 errors in 5 yrs. Its disgusting.

Currently undergoing this exact problem. Been fighting the ATF for over a YEAR and a HALF trying to get our license. Headed to COURT SOON!!!!!!

It amazes me at the amount of government overreach there’s been as of late. Need more people to stand up and push back. Millions of us vs thousands of them

Brandon, thank you for putting this video out. I know you were anxious about it, and were unsure about whether to actually upload it, but this provided me with a bunch of information that I did not get anywhere else. Cheers.

A buddy of mine who is retired ATF and is now a FFL said the most common problem he saw was having the wrong date at the start of a new year, (writing down 2021 at the start of 2022 as example). Easley corrected, but I guess now could lead to the lose of license. I've been working through upping my C&R to a 7/2 SOT like you, but this gives me pause.

A local firearms dealer ( who mostly catered to law enforcement and first responders ) had their FFL jerked away from them because a gun that was legally purchased 12 years ago ( and was stolen in a home invasion / burglary 5 years ago) was used in a murder .

They're even trying to crackdown on body armor, "oh you want to prevent yourself from getting shot without using a gun, that's illegal"

So the government very corrupt right now😢sad

Well in reference to the new Supreme Court rules, FFL's should no longer be necessary for any citizen!!!

ATF: "We don't like doing this, it's Biden" Also ATF: **Complies with unconstitutional orders anyway**

The thing that scares me is ammo regulations. Anyone can build a fully functional and well made gun for $350 or so, but if there are tighter regulations in ammo then it wouldn’t matter. It wouldn’t surprise me if they wanted all ammo to be treated like destructive devices when it comes to storage and actually obtaining/using.

As a young entrepreneur trying to Open a gun shop this kind of stuff skews me. I’ve been in love with guns since I was young and I’ve been a collector forever. I feel so might be a Civil War happening soon

Dry fire at the local no kill shelter had me rolling

Brandon, this could be your finest video yet. Bravo Good Sir

"My body my choice"- isnt a constitutionally protected right. 2A - Is a constitutionally protected right. Guess which one gets attacked by the people supposed to protect rights?

"When tyranny becomes law, Rebellion becomes duty"- Thomas Jefferson

Awesome work brother u put that all together top knotch. Good man on it.

As a current student at SDI this truly scares me and it’s amazing to hear someone with the platform you have to risk so much just to get the word out!

Brandon, I'm glad you're talking about this and showing this to the public. This has affected my job at a mom & pop gun shop/range, plus our friend in Stow, Ohio.

"Whats ATF stand for anyways? Alcohol Tobacco and Fuck ups!!" -favorite line from Black Dog

Saw a news story where a guy tried attacking people at a school with ninja stars, a knife, and a compound bow. He was mostly unsuccessful, but even without a gun people will still try to harm others; there is some other problem that we have. It’s not the guns.

My dad has been saying they will Tax the ammo or litigate/bully the stores into oblivion. He always said you have your gun but it’s no good without ammo or parts. I hate how he’s always right.

I like your political videos, you don’t sit there a whine like everyone else does. Just down to earth and straight to the point and you stick to your morals. It’s a nice change rather than seeing some spineless people talk about shit they don’t know anything about.

Thanks for the info, any time someone gives me a heads up I’m willing to listen. Absolutely the best discussion on the matter I’ve seen, even if it’s the only discussion I’ve seen. Great job!

7:19 "Second Amendment*, I'm coming for you, period."

One of the things that happens is that if they are successful ONCE, that set a precedent. So if the next guy trys to fight, they have a precedent. A company I worked for ran into this in reference to an emissions issue. The first 500 or so defendants capitulated, so they waltzed in to court expecting an easy win. Fortunately for me I was working for a gigantic multi national company who showed up with an army of high dollar attorneys. Moral of the story is that you have to fight the bastards EVERY SINGLE TIME. We need to stick together on this.

It’s sad to hear these actions getting taken. Our government is no longer for the people, it’s against the people now. The majority of gun owners what to be left alone because well over 90% of gun owners are law abiding citizens. I have friends on both sides of the fence and some in the middle and they all agree this current administration is terrible for the people. And when hearing about these actions makes me even hesitant to get my C&R FFL for my collection.

Kind Thanks Brandon and Many Blessings! Very good info. DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

Thank you for making these.

Anyone, ANYBODY that tells you “don’t get political” when you’re talking about new gun control laws can take a long walk off a short pier. Seriously.

The AFT has been baiting FFLs with procedural tricks, like having one agent fill out the form and the other exchange form of payment or the same agent that filled the form use a form of payment with the other agent's name on it, and also having one fill out the form and pay for it, then have the other reach out to accept the firearm as the FFL is attempting to hand it to the person who legally purchased it. Another trick they use is asking a question about the form, and leading the FFL into suggesting they mark it a certain way, ie, "Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside." where the customer asks something like, "how long ago do they consider?" and the FFL says something like, "Have you used any drugs recently?" , followed by them saying, "Not recently" and the FFL saying, "Well just check no, then."...bam, FFL violation. Done. Always have them answer, "truthfully to the way they interpret the question" and reinforce that you did not write the question, you are just there to process the forms.

I don't like or subscribe to many channels. You having the brass set to post this... Liked an subscribed sir. Keep fighting the good fight.

Appeal to Authority Fallacy. "We are the authority. We are always right. We are never wrong." This is what's fucked up about politics and our country in general.

Absolutely I am willing to donate to this cause, our recent ATF inspection was brutal and having some sort of piece of mind would have been a huge relief. Keep us posted Brandon.

I started to get a on a writer's tangent over how these issues are on a societal level. Enough of one where if I kept going I could look into getting it published. And I will probably pursue that. To summarize it, you're right Brandon. The issue needs to be about why my generation feels some sort of violent need. And being that weird kid growing up in school, I can tell you it is not culture or its "violent and over-sexual media". It is our lack of responsible leadership. We are surrounded by people who aren't willing to take charge for our future. Most teachers are only teachers for student debt forgiveness and job security, not because they are qualified, or have a passion, or genuinely want to teach kids. Our peers are so caught up in their own petty drama that they shun and shame anyone who doesn't parrot the loudest voice. Our school boards care more about banning books and buying new tablets than refining a curriculum. Our parents who can't come home from work and talk to their kids, or the ones who refuse and shove us into a smartphone to spoon-feed us ideas instead of showing us how to develop our own conclusions. Our politicians, who only care about lining their pockets and shouting surface-level simple ideas to the masses because they made us too dumb to see it is all a farce. Because in all of my 22 years on this planet I've been pushed and pulled around trying to be lumped into some sort of group or label instead of being treated as an individual. And then all these broken institutions are somehow shocked that the youth, each being told all their lives that they are all unique, are instead treated like numbers on a spreadsheet only guided by short-term standardized tests. How could they be so disillusioned with the world? Its not like you raised them saying "You can do anything!" But ensure that every opportunity for their growth was stunted. Then they are left with questions they don't know the answer to, in a society that betrayed them at every turn. How do you expect someone, regardless of their sex and political affiliation, not to break down and do something violent? To them it is the only thing that matters. They fail a test, they aren't held back. They do well, they don't advance. We have a system that doesn't reward progress, nor gives negative consequences. Our elders can claim they care about us as many times as possible, but just saying it doesn't say anything. Actions speak louder than words. This goes both ways. Parents and teachers, or anyone who is close to kids. Please, give them a hug, talk to them, ask about their day, get to know them. Ask them questions about why they think things, help them get to the root of their questions. Treat them as an individual. I was blessed with a mother who encouraged my curiosity, and a father that shown me he can give up a vice if it meant being closer to me. Even though I'm a newly graduated English Major, I used my time learning, reflecting, and thinking on these topics, then writing about them in a way that most people can understand in some hope that someone will read what I publish (or comment) and be able to push these ideas for people to talk about. If we as a society truly valued our kids, then our society wouldn't be as bad as it is now.

Thanks for the info dude!

Your comment about digging into the causes of the shootings is absolutely bang on!

From an outsider perspective people seem to deep in the gun tunnel vision, US has a population of 330 million and about 8-11k firearm homicides yearly, which doesn't seem statistically all that much. Most of them seem to be handguns, yet all the attention is on rifles. I understand the optics behind why politicians choose to blame AR-15's, but anyone actually interested in preventing gun deaths with gun control should focus on pistols. However if you're going to oppose government, rifles are the most important small arms the population has. I don't really blame Americans for not trusting their government after reading up on events like Waco or Ruby Ridge.

As an employee at a small gun store/range, I must say, it’s an incredibly stressful time right now. There is zero room for error. With the amount of paperwork that goes with normal Transfers, not to mention nfa items, it feels like we are walking on a razor’s edge. As others have mentioned, you could think you’re in 100% compliance, then they audit and find a 3310.4 that was sent a day after a sale and boom, revocation. It’s craziness, and we definitely need more attention to this with some pushback from Congress as well.

Very well said. First time I’ve watched one of your videos. I’m a 7 class 2 as well, and worried about this whole decline as well.

Papa Kalash providing the real news updates we need. #akgnotificationsquad

This was the most intelligent argument about gun control I’ve ever heard. Thank you for making this video this is extremely important information.

Great stuff my friend. Def a subscriber now

Watching this just makes me sad. I wonder what the founding fathers would be thinking right now… 😭😭

I'm from New Zealand, where we had an atrocity that resulted in 50+ innocent lives being lost by someone who had legally purchased military styled firearms. Knee jerk reaction they banned all military style firearms (including pistols) and put heavy restrictions on sales of firearms including semi autos. End result, our competitive shooters who use those firearms, now have to go overseas to train..after surrendering their insanely expensive competitive only firearms for destruction. Another side effect, I can no longer sell my Ruger .22 semi auto rifle or 5 shot semi shot gun (which I had for pest control when I was farming) due to new laws of online sales....but I can sell it in the pub just fine (as long as they have a valid firearms licence). Reason I'm mentioning this is 2 fold. One, gun violence in gang related incidents has sky rocketed since the law was rushed through, so what did it achieve? And 2, guess who just spoke to your Harvard graduating class in the last few days regarding this same law? The same person who pushed the law through with a 5 pound sledge hammer, the prime minister of New Zealand herself who is meeting with Biden this week. Sorry for the long comment, but people need to know that these laws will always hurt the innocent parties more than the ones willing to harm. Governments want to help? Work WITH the gun owners/sellers/groups, and not see them as scum. It does not work, and only harbours I'll will between all parties.

I work for a small FFL in Oregon and it is scary enough having as large of an anti gun presence as we do. With developments like this, it really makes me afraid for the owner who has become a good friend of mine and has a family to take care of.

As an 18 year old American, I have to say that the actual cause of the shooting was the fact that *the school (just like every single school) is a gun free zone,* where they are completely unarmed and they have to rely on calling 911 and wait for police to arrive, therefore they're more vulnerable and are not able to stop the shooter and they would most likely not make it out alive. If the shooter was targeting a gun store or a police station, the shooter will be taken down very quickly since they are always armed at police stations and gun stores. The truth is, *the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to have a good guy with a gun,* not by taking guns away from the people. Not only the gun control would be infringing on *the second amendment,* it would put everyone in danger since *the bad guy is clearly not going to give their gun up,* in fact, they would just cause chaos with other things like knives, automobiles, gasoline lit by lighters/matches, brass knuckles, chainsaws, and heck, even skateboards will do worse than guns. If guns don't get banned, us good guys would go out and stop those people that are looking for chaos.

Unbelievable! I was towards the end of your video and you got to the part where you said RU-vid has been unsubscribing people so I figured I would go check and sure enough, they had unsubscribed me from you!! Of course I re-subscribed but it is so weird that they do this... Down with the Powers That Should Not Be!

This is another roundabout way to severely limit the access of firearms for the end user. If FFLs tank, the places you can go to get them - by definition - tank as well. This affects all of us.

preach...

Good content. Thanks for putting it out for the public to see!

Thank you for standing

I bought my first gun at 18. I was scared as hell when taking it home. I'm 24 now. I have several firearms I have purchased and built over these last few years. I was even considering getting a FFL liscense to follow my great grandpa as a gunsmith. Now this is pushing me away from getting into one of my many dream jobs

My heart breaks for the future of our country, so many cheer at tyranny, so little care to stand up to it.

Keep the great work you doing and very good idea in the coalition for defending the rights of the small businesses like Mom &Pops FFL.

Loved the video. Thank you for the info. I’m pretty sure there are examples of people getting shut down that shouldn’t. But, can you give those examples so we have them?
