“Garland has chosen to emphasize so-called ‘limitations’ of the Second Amendment and has claimed that President Biden is ‘entitled’ to pursue gun control,” noted Aidan Johnston, Director of Federal Affairs for Gun Owners of America.
Meanwhile, anti-gun groups are excited to see Garland headed to the Cabinet and are urging fast action against currently lawful firearms products and activity.
“Simply put, Attorney General Merrick Garland will save lives and protect our democracy as attorney general,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action. “We look forward to standing behind his Department of Justice as they take on the NRA, combat our deadly gun violence epidemic, and root out the armed, far-right extremists who are attacking our nation.”
Garland is a proponent of Gun Control and will likely help the Biden administration push for more gun control in the future. The Biden administration has already thrown its weight behind two gun control bills currently in Congress, bills that threaten to fundamentally change the background check process.
