Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden vowed on his campaign website to ban online gun and ammo sales, limit gun sales, ban assault weapons, force gun owners into buybacks or registration, and various other restrictions.
Biden has expressed his anti-gun ideas, but his website spells out the specific measures he intends to take if he wins the election and assumes the presidency, which he describes as constitutional, common-sense gun safety policies.
Biden will enact legislation to once again ban assault weapons, Bidens website says. While working to pass this legislation, Biden will also use his executive authority to ban the importation of assault weapons.
Bidens campaign website does not describe expand on his definition of assault weapon. The website uses the National Firearms Acts ban of machine guns, silencers, and short barreled rifles without registration and the relatively low usage of these weapons in crimes as an example for pursuing legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons
The proposed measure is part of Bidens vow to get weapons of war off our streets. Although his website doesnt define weapon of war, a tweet he made in February referred to AR-15 rifles as weapons of war.
No one needs an AR-15. Period. We have to get these weapons of war out of our communities, Biden tweeted at the time.
Bidens plan for getting assault weapons or high-capacity magazines out of gunowners hands is to force them into two options: sell the weapons to the government, or register them under the National Firearms Act, his website says.
Bidens campaign website also vows to ban all online sales of guns, gun parts, and ammunition. He also plans to restrict gun purchases to one per month to reduce the stockpiling of firearms.
Biden also plans to strip protections from gun manufacturers, paving way for them to be held civilly liable when guns they manufacture are used in a crime. However, some instances of this began when the Supreme Court allowed victims families of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre to sue gunmaker Remington. The company manufactured the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle that Adam Lanza used in the massacre to kill 26, and the families allege that Remington bears responsibility due to marketing the rifle.
Biden would also incentivize local governments to enact red flag gun confiscation laws by offering funding and technical assistance to governments that implement such laws. He also lists his vow to expand background checks and close alleged loopholes, and expand incentives for gun licensing programs.
Red states would tell him to piss off.
Great move!
Just how many people have bought ARs recently?
How many does he thing are willing to give them up?
I hope President Trump exploits heck out this!
“Weapons of war” are exactly what the Second Amendment protects.
How it got twisted into the current interpretation, I will never understand.
Wouldn’t doubt it.
As for Obama, I think he’s too much of a pretty boy, to do
actual work. He would spark racial civil unrest as only
he could do.
It looks like the DNC thinks this is a lock.
Today they have let it be known:
There will be a carbon tax
They will Raid 401Ks
They are going decimate the 2nd A
The US taxpayers will be paying off the student loans.
All in one day.
And a huge number of people think that nice man in the Biden ads is real.
Beto ORourke - fake mexican. Real pendejo.
bring you MF’er...
But... but ... mean tweets!
if Biden wins...... WE must ALL organize and a secessionist movement.
If they thought it was a lock they would not be advertising all of this today. The day after a disaster of a VP debate. Nope.
I mean honestly, that is my question, is that what people want..a Communist country..the left will join forces with Antifa to go door to door to kill anyone who voted for Trump..is that what they want, honest question..Im in CA, my Mom and I are both still registered Democrat, why, because we dont want anyone knowing that we vote Republican out of fear of DEATH..so we keep our mouths shut go to the polls and vote Republican
Bring it.
Then it’s civil war.
Only that, under Obama I took a deep breath and did some research on the President’s power to outlaw gun ownership with the stroke of a pen. It just isn’t there, because it omits the role of Congress and they are very protective of their turf.
Remember that we already have had Democrat control of Congress under JFK, LBJ, Carter, Clinton, then Obama. Damage was done to the 2nd amendment but was later much undone by Reagan & later Republicans.
The SCOTUS will soon have a conservative majority, barring assassinations, and this will be a major thorn to a Democrat majority if God forbid that comes to pass.
Of course the Democrats now have a new weapon: surrounding their opponents’ homes with Antifa/BLM. But recall that the same happened to Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991: Al Sharpton & his homies surrounded his house but the police ordered them to back off; Sharpton threatened a sit-down hunger strike but chose to leave; no port-a-johns nearby.
Confiscation requires manpower and that takes more than just declaring all LEO’s to be Federal agents. It may take no more than a handful of pro-2A governors to declare that they will not cooperate in any way with Federal confiscation or Red Flag and at that point Harris-Biden will have to decide whether to turn their antigun initiative into a shooting war.
Or even worse, they will import millions of Californians & illegals into red states. Or is that happening now?
Passing a law is one thing; enforcing it is quite another. And attempts to enforce it are when and where the scary stuff begins, historically speaking.
Foriegn troops.
Reasonable people can disagree but if you are still trying to appeal to the middle you dont umask your intentions this way. I dont think they believe they lost any votes last night. I am just taking a guess. speculating about the thinking of the evil and crazy is not an exact science
Its the
Red weeks away. No one is trying to appeal to the middle.
Prohibition comes to mind.
