With President Biden in office, the U.S. Justice Department is under orders to begin implementing various gun control measures. Cracking down on ghost guns and recategorizing sections of gun kits as firearms are just a few examples.

Biden issued these executive orders weeks ago. The GOP vowed to push back against these Second Amendment infringements and is now acting accordingly. Even as a president who can take executive action, Biden's reach only goes so far.

States' rights still very much exist. Now, in the case of Biden's gun control orders, Republican states are moving to block this president's anti-gun executive orders.

No deal on sweeping gun control measures

Conservatives treasure Second Amendment rights and therefore want nothing to do with Biden's gun control agenda. Yesterday, Brad Little, the Republican governor of Idaho, signed a bill that essentially bars the enforcement of Biden's gun control executive orders in the state.

The legislation signed by Governor Little specifically bans any infringements against firearms, ammunition, gun parts, gun accessories, etc. In essence and in Idaho, the state's Constitution overrides the executive orders of Biden. This is a prime example of states exercising their own power to shield residents from the federal government's tyranny.

As such, authorities in Idaho are legally banned from implementing any gun control executive orders issued by President Biden.

An uphill battle in Congress and across America

In addition to Biden's sweeping gun control executive orders, he also wants lawmakers to pass gun control reform through Congress.

With the Senate filibuster, anti-Second Amendment legislation doesn't stand a chance of making it onto Biden's desk in the Oval Office. Furthermore, with a minority of Democrat senators and all GOP senators opposed to scrapping the filibuster, gun control bills are essentially dead in the water.

Many conservative states across the country value gun rights and other rights that under attack from this White House. Idaho is not the first state to implement measures to protect its citizens against President Biden, either; months ago, Texas GOP Governor Greg Abbott signed an executive order to shield the state's energy industry from Biden's whims.

Ultimately, a strong majority of conservatives agree that Republican governors are the ultimate defense line against the Biden administration's socialist agenda.
