Summary
House Oversight Chairman James Comer is demanding documents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) regarding communications between Biden aides and Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control group founded by Michael Bloomberg. Comer’s panel is investigating alleged collusion between the Biden administration and Everytown to facilitate a lawsuit against gunmaker Glock Inc. The lawsuit, filed in March 2024, alleges Glock sold pistols that could be easily modified to fire like machine guns. Comer cited a 2023 meeting between the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and Glock representatives, and a statement by Everytown’s president, John Feinblatt, which raises questions about potential collusion.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The House Oversight Committee is asking for documents, again. The ATF is involved, again. Gun control and the Second Amendment are at issue, again. The Biden administration is being scrutinized, again. Everytown for Gun Safety is in the mix, again. The familiar dance of investigation and accusation continues.
What’s notable is how the language of “collusion” and “insider information” is being used to frame the narrative. It’s a familiar script, with familiar players, and a familiar outcome is likely.
One observation: the use of language like “collusion” and “insider information” creates a sense of intrigue and scandal, even if the underlying issue is relatively mundane.
