Joe’s gropey paws are assault weapons when there’s a ten-year-old girl nearby.

just fire the shotgun through the door….

Audience member: Mr. Biden, which end do I point where?

Biden: Well, now, it's an election cycle and I guess I'm kinda sittin' on the fence about that one.

Agree with you totally, just riffing off the “Assault weapons ban” that is the cause du jour

Has America moved far enough to the left that voters will vote away their rights.

I'm afraid as with all their other issues, the question will be

Has America moved far enough to the left to vote away OUR GUN RIGHTS for their crack-brained emotional decisions?

Previous slogans:"It's for the children." "For a woman's control of her own body" "It's for our dear planet Earth" Now: "No more shootings. No more."

This doesn’t hurt Biden one iota. If you did a show of hands, every single candidate would agree. It gives Sleepy Joe street cred. No he just needs to pop a No-Doze and get in front of some microphones every once in a while.

An anonymous friend is in the market for a salt rifle.

Will these useful tools be banned as well?

They are intentionally vague about the definition of an "assault" rifle (which is essentially a carbine size rifle that can easily be switched from semi- to fully-automatic fire).

One suspects that their strat is to successively and eventually define the assault rifle to mean any firearm.

They have, one suspects, held many meetings about this very topic.

I agree; he’s in lock step with the other dem candidates. They are all to the left of Lenin/Stalin/Hitler/Mao.

This should pretty much end dunce Biden’s run.

We'll see, he's been leading in the polls up to now.

If his lead increases then his anti-2nd amendment stance has resounded with voters. If his lead decreases, then he's in trouble.

Either way, I believe all the dems anti 2A stance is going to hurt them in the general election. There are many democrats who own an AR or similar platform and who want to keep them.

So far it's Biden and Harris who have promised to ban and CONFISCATE people's guns. I'm sure there are others in the democRATic Clown Crowd who want to or who will jump on that bandwagon soon.

Neither one of them will win on that plank. In years past, the democRATS poo-poo'd the idea that they wanted to ban guns. All they were looking for was gun "safety". Better registration of all gun owners.

It didn't take long for this new radical Left crowd to now openly say that is what they will do if elected.

New Zealand just did the same thing when the NZ Prime Minister banned semi-automatic guns after the mosque shootings. So far the ban and buy-back program has fallen flat on its face.

Only 700 guns have been turned in out of an estimated 1.5 million guns total so far. That's only 4.6 ten-thousandths of a percentage point compliance. And the problem the police say is, there was no gun registration program in place prior to the ban being ordered so they have no idea who has the guns. Epic fail.

In Australia, a gun ban resulted in only an estimated 20% of the guns being turned in. The authorities estimate there are still two to five million guns out there in the country that will not get turned in.

Criminal gangs have publicly said they will not turn in their guns. That announcement will preclude law-abiding citizens from complying further.

So before Biden and Harris and the rest of the commie crowd claim they are going to confiscate semi-automatic guns in the US if they are elected, they would best learn from other examples on the world that what they want to do will not work.

Americans will never turn in their guns to a tyrannical government.

The brain damaged POS doesn’t even know the difference between a semi-automatic rifle and an actual “assault weapon.”

But he’s coming for them, right after he’s done fondling the chests of little girls.

What Joe the Idiot doesn’t realize is the Bill of Rights was written to control what the government cannot do.
