Republican Senator Ted Cruz says he will force a vote to BLOCK Biden's crackdown on 'ghost guns' and stop 'another attempt to strip citizens of their Second Amendment rights'Senate Republicans are trying to derail President Joe Biden's effort to crack down on 'ghost guns,' by launching an attempt on Thursday to force a vote on gun laws on to the chamber's schedule.
Sens. Ted Cruz, James Lankford, Mike Braun, and Mike Lee said they would introduce a resolution to block a Justice Department regulation.
The new rule expands the definition of firearm so that ghost guns, which can be sold as assembly kits or made with SD printers, are subject to the same rules as other firearms.
Opponents say it would also allow the creation of a national firearm registry, as the rule replaces one that allows for the disposal of records after 20 years.
'For the past two years, we've seen crime rates skyrocket all across the country, aided by Democrats' soft-on crime policies and left-wing district attorneys operating like progressive activists instead of law enforcement officers,' said Cruz.
'Democrats would love nothing more than to shift the blame and stoke anti-gun sentiment, and create a permanent national gun registry in the process.
'By introducing this resolution, we’re pushing back - we want to stop the Biden administration from issuing the final rule expanding the definition of firearms and instituting a national gun registry, we want to stop the false narrative that links the rise in crime to ‘ghost guns,’ and firearms, and we want to protect law-abiding citizens who are exercising their Second Amendment rights.'.........................
