Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY) just dropped a bombshell in an exclusive Breitbart interview, exposing the Greenhouse Gas Protocol as a sneaky back door for unelected bureaucrats to ram through radical environmental mandates that jack up costs for everyday Americans. Guthrie warns that this obscure protocol—pushed by globalist NGOs and adopted by corporations and governments alike—isn't just about tracking emissions; it's a Trojan horse for forcing draconian standards on manufacturing, energy, and supply chains. Think higher prices for everything from fuel to steel, all under the guise of sustainability without a single vote from Congress or the people. Digging deeper, this isn't some abstract greenwashing—it's a direct assault on America's industrial backbone, and that hits the 2A community square in the chest. Firearms manufacturing relies on affordable domestic steel, aluminum, polymers, and precision machining, all of which get hammered by these protocols' Scope 3 emissions rules that penalize indirect carbon footprints across entire supply chains. Smith & Wesson, Ruger, or your local FFL dealer sourcing parts? Expect compliance costs to skyrocket, passing straight to consumers as $1,500 AR-15s balloon to $2,000-plus. We've already seen ammo prices surge post-COVID due to similar regulatory squeezes; layer on GHG mandates, and it's rationing by wallet. Guthrie's callout shines a light on how this evades democratic oversight, mirroring the ATF's backdoor rule-making that 2A advocates have fought tooth and nail—unelected overlords dictating terms while Big Tech and woke CEOs cheerlead the erosion of our self-reliance. The implications for gun owners are crystal clear: this is economic warfare disguised as eco-virtue, designed to price the Second Amendment out of reach for working families. As Guthrie urges Congress to slam the door shut, 2A patriots need to amplify this—rally your reps, boycott GHG-compliant corps, and stock up before the squeeze tightens. If we let bureaucrats greenlight our disarmament one carbon credit at a time, the right to bear arms becomes a luxury for the elite. Time to fight back, before the lights go out on American manufacturing.
