The White House just issued a new rule to expand background checks by using the ATF to circumvent Congress. In doing so, Joe Biden’s ATF objective is trying to get as close to so-called “universal background checks” for firearm sales as possible.
Previously, an individual only needed a federal license to sell firearms when engaged in “a course of trade or business “involving “repetitive” buying and reselling of firearms with the “principal objective” of “livelihood and profit.” The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn helped pass removed the “livelihood” element so that profit-seeking alone would fulfill the required objective of the sales.
This means anyone who makes a profit off of selling their own firearms.
Attorney General Merrick Garland offered details on the new rule, saying, “Anyone who sells a firearm predominantly for profit must be federally registered and conduct a background check on the customer.”
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,

Those morons have truly lost their minds. How in the heck can they determine what is profit or not, if you are not an FFL. Private individuals do not keep records of the guns they purchase and how about those who inherited guns, and want to get rid of them? If any officer of the ATF drops by your home tell them to fuque off unless they have a warrant to search your premises with a list of what items they are looking for, and THAT MY FRIENDS IS IN THE CONSTITUTION. Remember also that the police state does not have dominion over us, like they believe, and we patriots have more than 350,000 guns at our disposal to prove them wrong !!!
You must learn to think as if you were corrupt. You sell a weapon which they know you purchased from their records, that’s why they are at your door, and the purchase price is known. But, of course, they interview you before they show their hand and you will probably be threatened much like the FBI does, you lie you go to prison. So, keep your mouth shut. It’s all a game to them and you are the “booby-prize.”
ATF learns you sold a weapon. They know nothing and come to you, again with the threat. They want to know how much you paid and how much you were paid. The dumb guy cooperates, gives them what they want, and they go back to the office and begin working the numbers. It doesn’t matter what you say, when they return, they, in their “wisdom” will tell you how much the weapon was worth and how much profit you made and how many years they want you to spend in prison, as if they, the barely literate thug were also lawyers and judges. So, keep your mouth shut, have no records and tell no one, no one, you sold anything. It will always be a rigged game.
On and on it will go. Soon you will start to wonder if you are living in 1960’s Moscow. If they don’t mind showing up at a front door at 6AM, no knock, kick it in and put one in a guy while he’s in bed, “But oh, he went for a gun, so sad,” they will not mind being more civilized and lying to send you away, because they believe they are the good-guys, and you are societies’ puke.
Last point. If you think Biden does not believe he is a really tough-guy and does not want to be an unrestricted dictator who can make it all up as he goes along you have been asleep for the past three years.
