Boebert aims to repeal all Biden-signed gun control laws.
Rep. Lauren Boebert Introduces HR 3212 to Restore Gun Rights
“It gets rid of all the unconstitutional laws passed under Nancy Pelosi and signed by (President) Joe Biden,” a spokesman from Boebert’s office told The Epoch Times.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) has introduced HR 3212, the “Shall. Not. Be. Infringed. Act.,” to restore what she considers to be rights lost under the Biden administration. The bill, introduced in the House on May 19, has 28 sponsors and is endorsed by Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the National Association for Gun Rights.
It’s Time for Congress to Act
Aidan Johnston, GOA’s Director of Federal Affairs, said it’s now up to Congress to act. “The House needs to vote; we’re doing our part,” Johnston told The Epoch Times.
Boebert’s bill would repeal a laundry list of gun laws enacted under Biden. At the top of the list is the law often cited by Democrats as the most significant gun-control legislation in more than 30 years: the bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Boebert’s Act would undo parts of the Bipartisan Safe Communities Act, such as redefining who is a “gun seller.”
In a statement on its website, the GOA claims that redefining “gun seller” increases the number of Federal Firearms Licenses, “which became a backdoor way for the Biden Administration to impose Universal Background Registration Checks just as GOA predicted,” the statement reads.
Gun control provisions in the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2022 (VAWA) would also be repealed. The Act would repeal the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Denial Notification Act. Under this provision, a criminal investigation is launched when a firearm transfer is denied after a background check.
According to GOA, the NICS incorrectly denies roughly 90 percent of transfer requests. Correcting these false reports can take time and effort, according to GOA.
Joining the fight for gun rights, Boebert’s bill is a step towards restoring the Second Amendment. With the support of GOA and the National Association for Gun Rights, it’s time for Congress to take action and protect the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
