Biden's ATF is Building a Massive Gun Registry

Dear John,

An Arkansas man was recently SHOT and KILLED by ATF agents during an early morning raid in Arkansas.

These tyrants accused him of selling guns without a license. And soon that could be you, because the ATF has just made it illegal for most people to buy or sell guns as private individuals without having a FEDERAL license ... or gun registration paperwork.

I need you to add your name to our prewritten letter <[link removed]> and tell your congressman to overturn Biden’s new decree requiring a Universal Registration Check for private gun transfers.



Biden’s out-of-control ATF just unveiled their radical new Universal Registration Check rule – and it’s aimed at you and me.

This rule achieves the long-held anti-gun dream of imposing so-called “universal background checks” to private gun transfers – which is essentially backdoor mass gun registration because the federal government has been caught keeping the records of the sale.

Right now, you only need to go through the “instant background check” when you buy a gun through a federally-licensed dealer.  Gun transfers between private parties don’t require a Registration Check in over 30 states...

...until now, John.


Joe Biden just waved his pen and redefined what the federal government considers a gun dealer and who must report gun sales to the feds.

Biden’s new rule requires almost every person who sells even a single gun to become a licensed gun dealer.


It also requires almost every person who buys a gun – even privately – to register the sale with the federal government by submitting it to the notorious “National Instant Check System.”

Biden’s rule doesn’t make clear that every sale requires a Registration Check, but in many cases, a single sale could trigger the requirement.

If you plan to buy or sell a gun now, John, you may need to read 450+ pages of federal rules, and maybe even hire an attorney, to determine if you are now a federally-defined “gun dealer” or if you need to report your private sale to the government.

The Biden White House openly brags the new Universal Registration Check rule scheme is “moving the U.S. as close to universal background checks as possible without additional legislation.”

Biden just achieved what anti-gunners have schemed for decades, creating a system not only to record the name and address of nearly every gun owner in the U.S., but what guns they own and where they can be confiscated.

That’s dangerous because registration is the first step to gun confiscation.

And violating this hazy, 450-page Universal Registration Check rule, even if you didn’t mean to, John, could throw you in a federal prison for five years!

You and I both know why they added that nasty prison sentence.

It’s because they don’t plan to use the Universal Registration Check rule to go after criminals.  There are already thousands of pages of laws on the books to do that.

Joe Biden wrote this Universal Registration Check rule to go after people like YOU – and people like Bryan Malinowski, an Arkansas executive gunned down in his own home by ATF agents carrying out a pre-dawn raid…

… just because he was selling guns from his private collection.

Biden’s Universal Registration Check rule is probably THE MOST dangerous gun-related scheme Biden has pushed so far.

The good news I can give you is that GOA, with your support, John, has a chance to stop it.

I have personally spoken with our attorneys.  I can tell you they are already looking to bring a legal challenge in court, where we will be joining with state Attorneys General to add extra punch.

More urgently, GOA is working with members of Congress to stop Biden’s Universal Registration Check rule, so we don’t even need to go to court.

That is why I need you to go here right now and add your name to our prewritten letter <[link removed]> to tell your Representative to cosponsor and support H.R. 6734 – which repeals Biden’s radical Universal Registration Check rule.

Sponsored by Congressman Andrew Clyde, H.R. 6734 invokes a federal law, the Congressional Review Act, that lets Congress revoke new federal rules.

But we only have a few days after Biden’s Universal Registration Check rule is issued to invoke the Congressional Review Act and repeal it.

If you go here right now and tell your Representative to cosponsor and support H.R. 6734 <[link removed]>, you and I have a chance to stop Joe Biden from achieving one of the anti-gunner’s longest-held and most radical dreams, John.

If you ignore this emergency petition and do not tell your Representative to cosponsor and support H.R. 6734, I fear Congress will not feel the pressure to act...

...and Joe Biden will achieve one of the radical left’s longest-held desires: universal gun registration.

And you and I both know that ends with mass gun confiscation.

I hope you take action right now to stop that before it happens, John.

Please go here right now to add your name to our prewritten letter <[link removed]> to tell your Representative to cosponsor and support H.R. 6734 and stop Biden’s new Universal Registration Check rule.

In liberty,

Erich Pratt
Senior Vice President
