Joe Biden had Republican help in his crackdown on gun owners.
One person in particular had a key role in crafting his new gun grab.
And you will never believe which Republican contributed to this attack on gun rights.
Joe Biden and his Democrat colleagues are not the only ones who want to curtail the Second Amendment rights that American citizens have under the Constitution.
Some Republicans who are uncomfortable with guns are trying to do the same thing, and they are even supporting the same legislation that Biden is implementing through executive order.
One of those Republicans is Lisa Murkowski from Alaska. While she has a long history as a so-called “moderate” senator, she comes from a state with a high rate of gun ownership.
In fact, Alaska is so pro-gun, it was one of the first Constitutional Carry states before dozens of other states jumped on board.
But Murkowski appears to be uninterested in representing her state. Instead, she wants to work from within the Republican Party to undo the Constitution.
And it turns out that the new draconian gun grab that Biden is pushing through executive order is something that Murkowski has supported.
According to Must Read Alaska, “Firearm dealers will be required by the Biden Administration to run background checks on buyers who purchase firearms from gun shows or other places that are not actual stores. The rule also applies to online sales and even between private persons.”
“The Biden Administration says it has the authority to expand this curtailment of constitutional rights because of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which was supported and voted for by Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Sen. Dan Sullivan voted against it.”
For those who have followed Murkowski’s career, this may not come as a surprise. She has always been one of the most liberal Republican senators.
But guns should have been the one issue where she would want to throw a bit of red meat to the Republican base, since her state is one of the most pro-gun states in the entire country.
The article continues, “The Biden rule says that ‘even a single firearm transaction may be sufficient to require a license, if there is other behavior to suggest commercial activity. For example, a person selling just one gun and then saying to others they are willing and able to purchase more firearms for resale may be required to obtain a license and run background checks,’ according to the White House.”
Murkowski appears intent on making some of her own constituents into criminals through this new policy.
Surely there have been many Alaskans who have engaged in person-to-person firearm sales. It is a state where people like to be left alone by the government.
But Lisa Murkowski and Joe Biden are doing everything possible to ensure that the people of Alaska, and other states, will not be left alone.
And despite being a Republican, Murkowski is partially responsible for this new gun grab that Biden has pushed through using executive order.
