President Bill Clinton established the exact same program when he was President to make schools safer. The US Secret Service was given the task of heading it up and establishing policy, implementation and execution. So how did that work out for us? Did that executive order make us all safer? We will NEVER eliminate murder. It’s been around a long time ( See Genesis- Cain vs. Abel). Politicians doing press releases are worse than useless as they give a false sense of security and progress. You want to stop gun violence?- make the punishment so severe that people think twice about using a gun to commit a crime. Use a gun in a crime with no violence- automatically adds 25 years to the sentence of the original crime- no parole no probation. 100% of sentence must be served. Use a gun in a crime of violence- mandatory life in prison. No exceptions. Kill, wound, injure a person with a firearm- mandatory death penalty that must be carried out within 12 months of the crime. Implementing that would bring about a dramatic end to gun violence. Unfortunately we coddle criminals today, we don’t punish them because it’s easier to just punish the law abiding citizens than address the problems

What I suspect we’ll see come out of this “task force”:

A declaration that because it is so easy to 3d print and then install illegal Glock switches, Glock platform handguns are actually MG’s because they can be “readily converted” to MG’s. And since the Hughes Amendment does not allow any reopening of the registry, like they tried to do with bump stocks they become immediately illegal (no grandfathering of existing weapons).

Of course, the same logic will apply to most AR’s (drop in auto sears or Lightning Links turn them into MG’s are similarly easy to make — to be clear, 1000% illegal to make / possess unless you are LE/mil/SOT, or they are pre-’86, on the registry, with a tax stamp).

Given the results of Cargill and the likely result in VanDerStok, it shouldn’t survive the inevitable test case, but this is where they are going: attempt to ban lots of stuff by EO + regs.

In reply to LifeSavor. Hate to break it to you LifeSavor. We are already their identified threats, as well as already being on their lists.

Whats to worry. Considering her success rate as the head of the Gun Violence Task force to reduce gun violence. This is nothing more than placating to their acolytes that constantly scream ‘Do Something”.

Hmmmm….all the language above is about identifying and combating gun threats. But who owns the guns? And, Presto-Chango, just like that, the gun owners will become the identified threats.
