Joe Biden’s campaign website contains a long list of gun-control proposals: national gun licensing; red-flag laws, which let judges seize guns without a hearing or mental-health evaluation; and bans on semiautomatic guns that look like military weapons.

Sadly, I lost all of my guns in boating accident.
If only we could lose all the Dems in boating accidents... Like Ted Kennedy, invite a Dem along for a ride at night.
It wouldn’t be the most natural of alliances, but I know more black people than I can count that have guns and would not be too keen on handing them over. Midterms 2022 would be a bloodbath beyond recognition for the Dems.
Johnson and GCA 1968 cost me a cherry PPK and Browning Hi-Power. Couldn’t legally bring them back from Germany where I was stationed in late 60’s. I’ll forever loathe the son of a bitch.
Democrats release violent criminals from prison and go after law abiding citizens for a Constitutionally supported idea.
They are enemies of this country.
and bans on semiautomatic guns that look like military weapons.
= = =
So, if you spray paint your AR PINK, does it still look like a military weapon?
If they act like this when we’re armed can you imagine what they will do when we’re not.
Pretty much what I was thinking: they may learn the purpose of the Second Amendment.
Everybody needs to own at least one lever action rifle. The choice of caliber, and the reason for that caliber, should be left to you.
I have a ‘trapper’ carbine with a big ‘d’ lever ring, in a revolver caliber.
Their first step, of course, will be charging Trump and family with crimes against humanity and spiriting them away to Gitmo or Libya or into insane asylums...
Hey, tell me about it. Dad was assigned to Naples, summer ‘68. The NATO Rod & Gun Club sold PPK’s for $53.00 in .380, $55.90 in .22. I bought a .22 and brought it back with nothing but the receipt. Later sold it like an idiot, but then came the `factoring criteria’ which banned the PPK. I did bring back a Mauser HSc which was legal.
I hate Lyndon Johnson to this day. Dad hated him worse because he was assigned to the Pentagon. If his boss & staff were summoned to the WH, they had to wear civilian clothes (it didn’t start with Clinton). Dad was an O-6 and you know what that means in the Puzzle Palace. One of his colleagues had the additional duty to take Windex & clean the spit off LBJ’s photo on the chain of command board. Every morning.
Dad retired as a commander, thank goodness.
Fast forward: I own a PPK in .32 cal, bought for $105.00 in 1973. I later bought a PPK/S in .380 (”the gun the bureaucrats built”), G&A 1969). It actually has a better feel than the PPK but I don’t like how it came into existence. Featured in a Bond film.
BTW, I thought the Browning HP was legal to bring back.
100%!!!
it’s coming...
After 8 years of BHO, we are living in a post-Constitutional republic. Just look at Gov. "Baby-Killer"'s record in VA during 2020. The Dem statehouse passed 7 of the 8 anti-gun laws he advocated. The only 1 that failed was the banning of assault-style weapons, i.e., semi-auto rifles.
The tool to advance gun confiscation has been with us since 1968, AATF Form 4473. All the DemonRats in Congress have to do is pass a national firearm registry bill. Then just digitally process the ATF Form 4473s into the registry. Records can be unreliable, but this process does not have to be accurate to be effective.
Confiscation will not require Fed/ state Brown Shirts coming to your door. That would create drama and resistance and they will likely want to avoid that except in high profile cases to set examples to intimidate the sheeple.
The simple approach would be to use the financial stick.
1. Organize firearm collection depots for citizens to voluntarily surrender their registered firearms.
2. Establish a deadline for volunteer surrender.
3. After this drop-dead date, announce financial penalties to be assessed against citizens who still have their registered weapons.
4. Delegate the IRS for enforcement = freeze bank accounts, SS checks, Medicare/Medicaid benefits, tax refunds, etc.
Alternatively, as John Lott Jr. says, Fedzilla could bleed gun owners with the death of a thousand little cuts.
1. Impose an annual registration fee.
2. Mandate liability insurance.
3. Compulsory annual inspections of safe storage facilities and ownership licenses.
4. Mandate firearm training courses that have to be re-newed every 3 years. 5. Impose additional taxes on firing ranges to be passed onto shooters.
6. Impose additional taxes on firearms to cover E-room GSW expenses.
7. Impose additional taxes on ammounition to cover E-room GSW expenses.
Good analysis...
Exactly! I was in West Berlin 1966-1969. Bought 5 guns total from the Rod and gun club....all before the 1968 GCA... Dirt cheap in those days 3 long guns, a S & W revolver, the PPK NIB, and the Browning. What screwed the Browning was that it was ex-British military EVEN THOUGH IDENTICAL TO COMMERCIAL MODELS! That’s how diabolical that law was and that prick Johnson signed it! I regret not smuggling them back in my household goods. Everyone in military hated LBJ’s guts during Vietnam War for a variety of reasons.
At the Pentagon O 6’s are the coffee fetchers...terrible duty assignmrnt. Your dad did good making O 6.
Dodd and Celler. Olympic class scum and the northeast hasn’t learned a thing and is still electing pukes.

That was a golden age of high quality but inexpensive firearms. Gone with the wind thanks to Lyndon Johnson.
But as the saying goes, karma’s a bitch. After leaving office in 1969, LBJ basically smoked himself to death & died of a heart attack short of turning 65. But his pernicious legacy is still with us.
I was stationed in Germany 1981-83. The Polizei were switching to compact 9mm’s, and their Walther PP’s & PPK’s were dumped on the civilian market, avg price $62.00. I will leave it at that.
;^)
Actually, it started long before LBJ - the National Firearms Act was passed in 1934. We're still dealing with the completely arbitrary & mostly nonsensical restrictions the NFA imposed on law-abiding Americans (including minimum barrel length/overall length restrictions for rifles & shotguns, expensive taxes on firearms mufflers, etc.). Just ask Mrs. Randy Weaver...
You are right...1934 was the granddad of modern gun control. But it didn’t ban anything just taxed and registered.
