'Here It Is, Right Here!': Kennedy Brings Pistol Brace To Senate In Fiery Attack On Biden ATF Rule

Mr. President, I want to take a few minutes to talk about Senator Marshall Marshall and I's legislation to repeal President Biden's squid-brain idea regarding

pistol

brace

s and the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. Mr. President, as you well know, it gives private citizens the

right

to possess a firearm, including a gun, and to use it legally, that is not a government

right

, it is a right that each of us has. As U.S. Justice Scalia put it quite well in D.C. v. Heller, the American people have considered the gun to be quintessential self-defense weapons raise the hammer so many people who oppose the Second Amendment say they do not oppose the Second Amendment They say they just want to regulate guns they don't want to abolish guns and many of them wouldn't recognize a gun from the J crew catalog this is a firearm this is what we're talking about now a second amendment right is not unlimited unlimited is subject to reasonable reasonable restrictions by the government in accordance with the Constitution and the country's historic citation tradition of firearms regulation those are not my words those are the words of the Supreme Court.

I'm quoting the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, made by the Supreme Court of the United States, for example, in many states you can't own a bazooka, that's a reasonable option. Restriction Your right to own a gun can also be restricted if you suffer from a mental illness, that is what we have concluded as a society to be a reasonable restriction. The question today is very simple: whether President Biden's new

rule

from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is in effect. Banning or, at a minimum, severely restricting gun racks is a reasonable restriction under the Constitution, that's what we're discussing today.

Trigger Warning: This is a gun mount. I know it's scary. This is a gun holder. It fits your forearm like this handle

here

. it's right

here

, to the gun clamp another piece is added that holds the gun, that's what we're talking about here, the epistle clamp is also known, it's a scary piece of equipment, here it's also known as a stabilizer clamp or arm clamp, is a simple device. it's mounted on the back of the gun it's designed to anchor the gun to the shooter's arm right here it goes on the solar forearm so the shooter can shoot the gun one handed now why is that important?

Because some Americans don't have two hands. or the use of two hands or two arms. Gun rests were invented to help disabled people, especially disabled veterans who cannot use both arms. You do not have to be a disabled person to use a gun holster. Some studies have shown that there are up to 40 million gun holsters in the United States that President Biden wants to ban, not 4 million, 40 million and most of them, I would say, virtually all of them are owned by law-abiding citizens, now this gun stand in addition to stabilizing the gun does not change the gun in any way the gun stand does not change the caliber of the gun it does not make it more powerful the gun stand does not change the number of bullets the gun can hold The gun mount does not make the gun an automatic

pistol

.

Automatic weapons are banned in the United States and the gun rest does not make the gun shoot faster. The pistol rest also does not help the shooter load the pistol faster, except to stabilize it. It doesn't change the gun in any way, it just makes it easier to hold which is important especially if you have a disability as one of my colleagues alluded to Gun

brace

s were invented in 2012. They have been legal since which, like I said, millions of Americans own them millions of Americans wear them especially disabled Americans the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has never had a problem with gun braces none zero zilts not me until President Biden became Preston now President Biden and his ATF have enacted a

rule

that says placing a gun holding a gun somehow magically prevents the gun from being a pistol and turns it into a short barreled rifle.

The ATF has defended its proposed new rule, as has President Biden, pointing to two mass shootings that were committed by people using guns with gun racks now, why does it matter? Why is the ATF trying to say that the epistle is no longer a pistol if you use a pistol mount it is a short barreled rifle? I'll tell you why you don't have to be a Latin scholar to understand it. This is because short-barreled rifles, again where the ATF says gun rests convert pistols, are heavily restricted by National Law. of 1934 over the Gun Control Act of 1968.

That's why they want to convert a pistol into a short barrel rifle using a pistol rest under these two federal statutes, if the ATF can succeed, the ATF may require the owner of the pistol with the pistol rack to register it within 120 days with the ATF. They want to start a gun registry for all respectful Americans. Hello, they want to start a gun registry. gun registration if the ATF accomplishes this this is what they can do this is what you have to do if you have a gun rack and use it with your handicapped pistol or else you must register it within 120 days with the ATF you have to destroy the gun rack you have to shock or you have to dismantle the gun rack or you have to surrender your gun to the ATF or you have to destroy your gun and the violations if you don't do what the ATF says Violations of these two federal statutes are punishable by five to ten years in prison and fines of up to two hundred fifty thousand dollars.

Stupidity should hurt more unless you identify as an idiot. You can see what's going on here, the American people. They may be poorer under President Biden but they are not stupid, the ATF is trying to stop Americans from owning guns or they are trying to stop Americans from owning gun racks or they are trying to use this rule to start an extensive national policy . gun registration and the ATF rule is just a backdoor to subject guns to more stifling regulations. I swear by God and all the angels. Americans have so much government that they are choking on it.

Neither the National Firearms Act of 1934 nor the Gun Control Act of 1968 mentions gun prices, nor do these statutes drown in legislative history under recent and unequivocal decisions of the United States Supreme Court. in West Virginia V EPA and the Alabama Association of Realtors the Department of Homeland Security in King V Burwell all the chief justices of the Supreme Court a regulator An agency like the ATF does not have the power under our constitution to decide important issues like prohibition of gun racks, unless Congress says it's okay through the text of the statute that the agency relies on the statute itself, it clearly and unequivocally has to give the ATF the authority. ban gun racks and it is not, the ATF rules are unconstitutional, so is the United States Supreme Court decision in the case of New York State v.

State Rifle and Pistol Association New York v. Bruin, which was ruled a couple of years ago because banning gun racks is not part of our country's historic tradition of firearms regulation, the ATF rule also violates, in my opinion, the Americans Act with Disabilities of 19. 90. and finally, the ATF rule and President Biden's rule is just the rule, it's just the bottom of the barrel. a gun mount for a gun that doesn't change the gun in any fundamental way except stabilizing it, doesn't stop the gun from being a gun, doesn't, and certainly doesn't, turn it into a short-barreled rifle, pistols or pistols, rifles. or rifles, all the gun helped us with is allowing an American, especially a disabled American, to safely hold a gun and control it safely, that's all it does, like I said, stupid, it should hurt more.

This ATF rule is one of the reasons so many Americans wonder how so many government officials in Washington D.C made it through the birth canal, Mr. President, I yield
