James Comer isn’t asking nicely anymore. The House Oversight Chairman just slapped the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with a document demand that should make every freedom-loving American sit up and pay attention. We’re talking about potential collusion between the Biden administration and Michael Bloomberg’s deep-pocketed gun control empire to destroy private gun manufacturers through the courts.
Let that sink in for a second. Your government, the one sworn to uphold the Constitution, allegedly conspiring with billionaire activists to weaponize lawsuits against companies making legal products. It’s lawfare at its most cynical, and it smells worse than week-old swamp water.
Comer’s targeting communications between Biden aides and Everytown for Gun Safety, Bloomberg’s pet project that’s been trying to strangle the Second Amendment since its inception. The committee believes a now-defunct Biden office helped facilitate Everytown’s lawsuit alongside Chicago against Glock Inc. You know what that sounds like? It sounds like your tax dollars funding a coordinated attack on constitutional rights through the back door.
The timing here matters. The Supreme Court just handed down a unanimous decision limiting federal gun law overreach, ruling that habitual marijuana users can’t be blanket-banned from gun ownership. Nine justices, all agreeing that the government went too far. When you get a 9-0 ruling in today’s polarized court, you’re witnessing something rare. The justices drew a sensible line between recreational use and serious addiction, the kind of nuanced thinking that seems foreign to the Biden administration’s all-or-nothing approach to gun control.
Legal analyst Gregg Jarrett pointed out the glaring hypocrisy. Hunter Biden got slapped with charges for lying about drug use while purchasing a firearm, mixing crack cocaine with gun ownership. Yet here’s the administration trying to ban marijuana users from their Second Amendment rights while the First Son skated on a sweetheart plea deal before it fell apart. The double standard isn’t just visible, it’s blinding.
This goes deeper than one lawsuit or one gun manufacturer. When government agencies start playing footsie with activist organizations to circumvent rights they can’t strip away through legislation, we’ve crossed into dangerous territory. The Founders didn’t give us the Second Amendment so politicians could lawyer it to death 250 years later.
Comer’s letter makes it crystal clear. These records will show whether Biden’s people actively worked with Bloomberg’s billions to attack gun makers through litigation instead of legislation. It’s the ultimate end-run around democracy. Can’t get the votes in Congress? Can’t convince the American people? Fine, just bankrupt the companies through endless lawsuits and friendly coordination with deep-pocketed ideologues.
The ATF better start copying those documents. The American people deserve to know if their government conspired with anti-gun activists to destroy an industry exercising constitutionally protected commerce. We’re not talking about some fringe theory here. We’re talking about a powerful committee chairman with subpoena power demanding answers about potential abuse of executive authority.
This is what accountability looks like when it actually functions. No more hiding behind bureaucratic walls. No more cozy relationships between agencies and activists going unexamined. If the Biden administration wanted to stay clean, they shouldn’t have gotten into bed with Bloomberg’s gun control machine in the first place.
