Guns In The World of Joe Biden

If Joe Biden and Kamala Harris prevail and are inaugurated as the next president and vice president of the United States, we can expect major battles over our Second Amendment rights and gun control.

The Cowboy State Daily posted an interesting article by C. A. "Kip" Crofts, a former U.S. attorney, on what we can expect in the world of a President Biden. 

He begins with:

In the public policy debate in America today, probably no issues are more controversial than abortion and gun control.  

Generally, views on the gun issue follow red/blue lines, with the red side believing they have a right to defend themselves and their families and businesses, while blue folks seem to hate and fear guns more than they do the people who pulled the trigger.  

Although this seems to be changing with even blue folks buying guns now when they hear about riots, calls to defund the police, and news about police who fail or refuse to respond to 911 calls.

Both President-elect Biden and Vice-President elect Kamala Harris made it clear that they want more gun control.  On the Joe Biden website they include fifteen pages of a plan for all the gun control laws they plan to pass. 

Former U. S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who competed in the early primaries for President said, “Hell yeah, we’re going to take your AR-15.  If it’s a weapon that was designed to kill people on the battlefield, we’re going to buy it back.”  Later, when Beto dropped out of the race and endorsed Biden, Biden said to Beto, “You’re going take care of the gun problem with me.  You’re going to be the one who leads this effort.” 

Kamala Harris said over and over that, “Weapons of war have no place in a civil society.”  

It is important to point out for these folks that the semiautomatic AR-15 type rifle that they are talking about, owned by millions of law-abiding Americans, has never been used as a “weapon of war” by the US Military or any other military force in the world. They seem to be talking about the M-16 military rifle that is already illegal for civilian use because it is a fully automatic (machine gun). This is a common falsehood used by gun control advocates, and even some federal judges, who either don’t know the difference or are willing to lie about it to support their position.   

The rest of the article is a good read.
