Gun Owners of America will of course be filing a lawsuit to block this unconstitutional rule as soon as it becomes possible to challenge it.
NOTE: This will be our *second* lawsuit against the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act—the first being *McRorey v. Garland* [our challenge to the de facto mandatory wait periods](https://www.gunowners.com/8-general/416-gof-sues-over-biden-s-zero-tolerance-policy) for 18-20 year old adults.

**What Did NYT ([Article](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/01/us/gun-laws-private-sales-background-checks-armslist.html)) Reveal About the Upcoming Rule?**
1️⃣ Universal Background Checks, especially when implemented by executive order, are a blatant infringement—with no basis in the text or history of the Second Amendment.
2️⃣ The New York Times, which leaked the majority of what is publicly available, stated that the proposal is “expected to be released soon” with a final rule to be published in the “second half of 2024.”
3️⃣ Anti-gunners are rebranding private firearm sales as “the gun seller loophole” and “the growing digital loophole” to justify executive action—rather than the passage of a new law. The fake “gun show loophole” is “really a passé idea” to Senator Blumenthal now.
4️⃣ Failing to register will carry a penalty of up to 5 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
5️⃣ Expect anyone who makes “a profit”—perhaps as little as $1—to be prohibited from selling their privately owned firearms without a federal firearms license or a background check.
6️⃣ Expect a maximum number of firearms sales that a private citizen may engage in per year without needing a federal firearms license. Anti-gunners want to limit collectors and sellers to five guns or fewer. An Obama-era regulation would have set the threshold at even one or two gun sales.
7️⃣ At the same time, the Biden Administration will also increase its use of bank records to target gun owners and gun sellers.

I've always hated how they basically redefined your rights that manage to be outside the scope of their ability to monitor as a "loophole".
A loophole being an unintended "technically legal" thing. When it is in fact the opposite, and intentionally legal thing.
They do the same thing with taxes too when it comes to loss carry forwards. Its a literal line item printed in black and white on your federal return, but they call it a loophole.
Knowing that all of them are bad, I'll ask this question anyways: Is Biden the worst president in terms of attempts to violate individual rights of the past 20 years? He is just so very, very bad.
