President-elect ( Joe Biden) on Jan. 8 promised to “defeat” the National Rifle Association while he’s in office.
Biden’s official Twitter account was responding to former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.), who was among 14 people wounded in a shooting rampage by Jared Lee Loughner in Tucson in 2011; six people died in the attack. Giffords had recounted how her life and community “changed forever.”
“But the attack did not break me—or the people I represented in Congress. We came together, turned pain into purpose, and found hope in each other,” she wrote, adding that she continues to work to “achieve a safer America.”

He’s a #%^* head.
Assuming he is sworn in...
Gun control is a conundrum for the democrats. Feminists love guns. They are the great equalizer. They are just one example.
They’ve had their tail between their legs for the better part of a generation.
I’d agree with you.
Biden says he will defeat the NRA, because “teachers deserve a better union”.
F this schwanzlucher.
The NRA are US citizens so you work for them you old Fool
I’m in a very liberal area of the SF Bay Area (75% Dem, 25% GOP), and I found out very recently (from another neighbor who knows all my neighbors better than I do) that all of my neighbors all around me are very heavily armed. After the BLM/Antifa riots of the summer—they all armed themselves and also installed big gates on their driveways.
So if the Dems go after the NRA now, it will be more of an “I got mine” thing. OK for everybody except themselves and for those who didn’t buy them when they could.
Ain’t that the truth?
We are seeing Nazi Germany repeat itself. Once they took away the guns...
It’s time to go to the mattresses....
Beijing Biden has had surgeries on his cranium and abdomen and he has other problems that have not been released so Joe won’t last long. The one to be aware of is his loony VP.
Hey....Lotta hunters out there voted for good ole Joe.
Liberals always over-reach. Always.
I know some of them - they’re on pages nine and ten.
Joe, the National Recovery Act hasn’t existed for over 80 years.
Not unless you, and your party want to commit suicide. I guess they think only Republicans own guns.
I read this on Friday. I immediately purchased a membership.
“It’s time to heal...”
