They Said Biden Wouldn’t Come for Our Guns. The Plan Says Otherwise.

In 2022, Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell wrote a piece in Newsweek titled, “President Biden Does Not Want to Take Your Guns Away.” He accused Republicans of spreading fear. “No one is coming for your guns,” he wrote. “We respect the Second Amendment,” he added. He made it sound like the debate was over.

But in 2025, a declassified document proved Swalwell was wrong—and possibly knew it.

On April 16, 2025, then-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified the Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.

This multi-agency plan had been quietly signed and put into motion by the Biden administration back in June 2021. The contents are alarming. This wasn’t just a strategy to stop violence. It was a roadmap for using federal agencies, public health systems, tech companies, and education programs to track, flag, and isolate what they defined as “domestic threats.”

They didn’t need to say the word “gun ban.” They just rewrote the definitions, rewired the bureaucracy, and laid the foundation to restrict your right to own one.

Reframe the Problem: Gun Owners as Pre-Criminals

The plan doesn’t start by targeting criminals. It starts by targeting people before they do anything illegal. The focus is on “radicalization,” “concerning behavior,” and “non-violent extremism.” They even use terms like “lethal means” instead of “firearms,” as if calling it something else makes it less obvious.

They built a framework where gun ownership is lumped in with things like disinformation, hate speech, and a lack of trust in government. The result? If you’re outspoken, skeptical of official narratives, and you own a gun, you’re a threat in their eyes.

This is not public safety. This is pre-crime wrapped in polite language.

Bureaucracy Is the Weapon

Let’s talk about how they planned to do it. The strategy is subtle but powerful:

1. Red Flag Expansion The plan urges states to adopt and expand “Extreme Risk Protection Orders.” These let the government take someone’s guns away based on a report from a friend, relative, or even a therapist. You don’t need to be charged. You don’t need to be convicted. Just flagged. The feds also offer grants and technical support to help states get it done faster.
2. Mental Health as a Surveillance Tool Agencies like HHS, DOJ, and the VA are tasked with creating training programs for doctors, social workers, and school staff. These programs teach professionals how to identify people who might pose a risk—again, not because they broke a law, but because they showed “warning signs.” You can guess what some of those signs are: isolation, political anger, and interest in gun rights.
3. Digital Literacy Means Narrative Control The plan calls for funding “digital literacy” programs to help students and communities identify “extremist content” online. That might sound helpful until you realize it means the federal government will decide what speech is acceptable. Pro-2A content, conspiracy discussions, even satire—any of it could get swept into this net.
4. Watchlists for Domestic Cases One of the most chilling parts: the plan calls for expanding databases like TIDE and the Terrorist Screening Database to include domestic cases—even when there’s no foreign connection. These databases are used by law enforcement, employers, and even TSA. Imagine winding up on one because of your Facebook post or your group membership.

“We’re Just Trying to Keep You Safe”

The plan doesn’t propose repealing the Second Amendment. It doesn’t call for door-to-door confiscation. That’s the point. This isn’t an open assault—it’s a quiet chokehold.

They focus on prevention, which sounds good. But prevention means action before a crime. And to do that, the system needs a list. A watchlist. A database. A profile. That’s how you get flagged as a “risk” just for buying the wrong rifle or sharing the wrong meme.

The government doesn’t need to take your gun if it can:

• Flag you as a potential threat.
• Revoke your license
• Freeze your purchase
• Suspend your carry permit.
• Get a judge to sign off on a red-flag seizure.

And it doesn’t have to be the feds. The plan builds partnerships with schools, hospitals, tech companies, local law enforcement, and even nonprofits. The monitoring happens from every angle.

We should use this plan to round up all the leftist terrorists running amok.

The far-left Nazi gun grabbers are going to find the road to gun confiscation a little tougher after today’s fiasco in Florida. Gun Grabber Mark Kelly is going to have to drag Gabby out and start parading her in front of the commie libs again.

Thank God every day that President Trump was elected instead of Harris!

The democrat plan has always been to disarm the public. I am old enough to remember these lies we have been told since 1962.

The lies we have been told over the years...by the democrats.
Promises made by democrats Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler in 1962...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.

1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).

1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!

1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!

1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America (ABC) screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”

1984, they made a grab for the rifles that is still going on today.

1989 George Bus sr. bans import of “assault rifles”

1994 Clinton “bans” Assault rifles for ten years.

2004 calls for a ban on single shot .50 cal rifles.

2023 Biden: “We are going to ban assault rifles!”

If they can get any sort of a ban and make it stick, they will then use that to go after their original target, HANDGUNS. They are never satisfied.

1988,Josh Sugarmann, of the National Council to Ban Handguns tells how to ban rifles.

“Assault weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over
fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons
—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine
gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on
these weapons.”
– Josh Sugarmann

From 1976.

Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.(Now the Brady Center)

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.

Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.

So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.

My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”

-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58

“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”(Now rifles added)

-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview

HCI, around 1984, suddenly made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed But they showed their hand. As a result all gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.

Gun owners now know that any time we negotiate with those who want to ban guns, we are up against a stacked deck.

NEVER trust a democrat. How California got their gun ban passed when in 1982 the citizens defeated a handgun ban...

They went for the rifles. First they wrote an extremely bad semi-auto rifle ban bill which was rejected and shelved.
Then they released Pat Purdy from a mental institution and allowed him to buy. in violation of State and Federal laws, a rifle in Oregon and a handgun in California, passing the waiting periods.
He then went and shot up the Stockton School yard killing several students and himself.
The shelved bill was pulled out and passed before any opposition could be mounted against it.

Meanwhile, the dims have no problems with cartel gangs roaming around our country with all kinds of firearms.

Looks like the dims want to protect their donors and screw us over.
