“This is happening while Biden and his henchmen are smearing their legitimate political opponents – supporters of President Trump – as ‘extremists’ and ‘terrorists,'” she emphasises. “He is trying to use the fantasy of violent opposition to his regime in order to justify the trashing of the Second Amendment.”
US Conservatives Raise Alarm Over Biden’s Call for Stricter Gun Laws
‘From My Cold Dead Hands’: US Conservatives Raise Alarm Over Biden’s Call for Stricter Gun Laws
Gun control remains “a priority on a personal level” for President Joe Biden, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters earlier this week. The NRA and American conservatives are concerned about Biden’s push as Democrats are now in control of the White House and both chambers of the US Congress.
By Ekaterina Blinovag, Sputnik News, February 19, 2021:
On 14 February, Joe Biden called for strengthening gun laws on the third anniversary of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
“I am calling on Congress to enact common sense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets”, he said in an official statement last Sunday.
The National Rifle Association (NRA), an influential US gun rights advocacy group, criticised Joe Biden’s call for stricter gun laws on Twitter pledging to “never stop fighting for the Second Amendment”. Speaking to The Wall Street Journal an NRA representative expressed concern that Biden “may become the most anti-gun president in American history”.
Dems’ Gun Restrictions & Capitol Breach
A year ago, Biden vowed that on day one of his presidency he would send a bill envisaging toughened gun laws to Congress. However, the legislation has yet to find its way to the House floor making gun control activists nervous, Politico’s Playbook PM remarked on Tuesday.
The president’s statement appears particularly troubling as it comes amid an all-out crackdown on American conservatives, says Pamela Geller, an American political activist, blogger, and editor-in-chief of the Geller Report.
“This is happening while Biden and his henchmen are smearing their legitimate political opponents – supporters of President Trump – as ‘extremists’ and ‘terrorists'”, she emphasises. “He is trying to use the fantasy of violent opposition to his regime in order to justify the trashing of the Second Amendment”.
In the wake of the Capitol Hill siege carried out by “Trump supporters”, the Democratic Party has put forward the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act (DTPA) which specifically focuses on “white extremism”. On Monday, Eric Swalwell called for the creation of “a white nationalism task force” at the Department of Justice. For its part, the left-leaning press has stepped up attacks against Trump supporters calling them “insurrectionists” and “terrorists” following the DC incident.
“The establishment media will do all it can to whitewash and sell these measures, but after months of Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioting, the administration will be doing this against the will of the American people”, says Geller.
Trump impeachment lawyer Michael van der Veen blasted the MSM and Democrats’ stance in his closing statement as “hypocritical” recalling that they remained mute when Black Lives Matter and Antifa set towns on fire and vandalised federal property.
The coronavirus pandemic and Black Lives Matter riots have affected the public’s perception of the gun ownership issue. A Gallup poll from November 2020 found that support for stricter gun laws had reached its lowest level since 2016. Fifty-seven percent of Americans called for stricter laws covering the sale of firearms in 2020, while following the 2018 school massacre in Parkland, Florida, 67 percent of American respondents advocated tougher gun controls.
Furthermore, as the pandemic started engulfing the US in March 2020, gun and ammo stores reported an unprecedented increase in sales. Among those hoarding arms were many first time buyers, according to weapons shop owners.
The Democrats have been seeking to tighten the screws on gun ownership at the federal level for quite a while. During the 2019 election cycle Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders urged the nation to follow New Zealand’s lead, “take on the NRA and ban the sale and distribution of assault weapons in the United States”. His competitor, California Representative Eric Swalwell, suggested imprisoning those who would not agree to sell back their military-style weapons.
The irony of the situation is that California, which boasts the strictest gun control in the country, accounts for almost 17 percent of mass public shootings since 2000, while Texas saw only 6.6 percent of the total mass shootings in the same period of time, according to the Heritage Foundation.
Will the GOP Upset Biden’s Plan?
Given that the Democrats have a majority in both chambers of the US Congress their push for stricter gun laws will bring about tangible results unless the GOP withstands the initiative. Geller, however, doubts that Republican lawmakers are ready to fight tooth and nail for the Second Amendment.
“The GOP can and will do nothing”, she remarks. “It is spineless, weak, cowardly, and compromised. We need a new opposition party in this country”.
Meanwhile, some US states are considering measures to shield themselves from new federal laws cracking down on firearms. In early February, the lower chamber of the Missouri General Assembly passed House Bill 85 or the “Second Amendment Preservation Act” would allow state gun laws to supersede federal regulations.
South Dakota’s House Bill 1194 would nullify presidential executive orders (EOs) determined unconstitutional by the state’s attorney general. According to US financial blog Zero Hedge, Wyoming, Arizona, Tennessee, Kansas, and Alaska already have “some version of federal gun law nullification on the books”.
For his part, Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte has recently signed into law HB 102 which allows people to carry concealed firearms without a permit in most locations. A permit will be mandatory for carrying arms in state and local government buildings such as the State Capitol Building.
“Every law-abiding Montanan should be able to defend themselves and their loved ones. That’s why today, I signed HB 102 into law”, tweeted Gianforte.

POOR LIBERALS AND DEMONRATS. Ya gotta respect their stamina to distort/disparage/misinform America about our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms THAT CANNOT BE INFRINGED, even though IT WILL BE FUTILE.
NO ONE IN THEIR ‘RIGHT MIND’ WOULD ALLOW THE GOVT TO TAKE AWAY ANY OF THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, unless of course, THOSE TYRANTS WANTING TO DO SO WANT TO DIE A VERY SLOW DEATH……..hope when they come, they bring lots and lots of body bags.
TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOTS, ya know, the WISE people here, WILL NEVER ALLOW THEM TO TAKE OUR GUNS…………………….CIVIL WAR IS COMING.

They already are. Open your eyes and look around. Elections are rigged; innocent people are going to jail. They murder people on a regular basis. Heck, they just released a virus that killed millions. America is a disgusting Banana Republic being run by the most immoral, deviant vermin on the face of the Earth.

They took away our right to vote. What makes you think they won’t attack all the rest? Speech is under attack, religious freedom; right to assembly and PEACEFULLY protest. Brown shirts can riot, loot and murder with impunity if you are working to destroy our Republic. I just hope when they do come for my guns, they come in person (the fed’s) and don’t send some local LEO to do their dirty work. I KNOW they don’t have the courage to attempt to collect the guns themselves.

Agreed. When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
It is better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.

Consider this when contemplating a dictat repealing the 2d Amendment and forcibly disarming American citizens:
Active duty, National Guard and Ready Reserve US military would, for the most part, refuse to obey such an unlawful order.
In 2015 there were 1.6 million military veterans in the United States.
In 2016 there were 13.7 million hunters in the United States over age 16.
In 2016, 42% of American households had one or more firearms. Estimates of the number of firearms in the United States indicate that there are 90 privately-owned firearms for every 100 people. There is no reliable data for ammunition stockpiled by American civilians, but estimates vary between 10 to 50 billion rounds in possession of people who know how to use firearms.
Meantime, Anti-gun advocates don’t know what bathroom to use.

Agreed. When Hitler came to power in Germany in the ’30s, he stated that the biggest threat to German national security was a Jew with a handgun.
In order to show themselves to be compliant citizens and to fit in, the Jews surrendered their weapons and look what happened.

Every Despotic Dictatorship in past centuries has made gun/weapons confiscation a priority in the name of people’s safety when the actual intent was to solidify their own power and dominance over those same people. Countries that instituted some sort of “gun control/confiscation” include Russia, Nazi Germany, Mussolini’s Italy, Castro’s Cuba, Maduro’s Venezuela, and many others throughout history.
But gun control isn’t the only tool used to eliminate a true people’s republic. The takeover of news media and information media in general was one of Hitler’s most powerful tools to dominate Germany with the use of something we Americans are very familiar with lately, “fake news”.
The left are labeling their dominance tools with the misleading names of equality and safety to make them more palatable to the general public. George Orwell’s 1984 is sited often to demonstrate the direction the left is taking, but another book off his, “The Animal Farm” describes how the takeover will happen, or how it happened in Russia with Marx, Lenin and Stalin. I believe Orwell meant these books as warnings but the left views them as instruction manuals.

The fact is that out of the almost 3 million people who die yearly in the US, less than 1% of that number are killed with a gun. Isn’t it just like a democrat to go after 1% of a problem, instead of trying to save the 99% who die by other means?
On that note, how is that ban on plastic bags and straws going? Are the oceans free & clear of plastic pollution yet dems?

On a related topic, media personnel who cover the legislature here in Texas enjoy a privilege called expedited entry where they can bypass security screening upon entering the building provided they show their license to carry a weapon.
They aren’t carrying weapons, the license simply shows they have had their background thoroughly checked extensively already.

I will be forever grateful to President Trump for sending me that $1,200 stimulus check last year.
As he intended, I got that money back in circulation, thus the economic stimulation. Don’t tell anyone but I used it to buy myself a Ruger AR556 and outfitted with a Nikon P Tactical scope.
If they come for my guns, they better bring theirs. The Second Amendment was not written for the convenience of deer hunters. It addresses tyranny.

30 days, 60 Executive Orders. Remember, Biden said anyone governing by EO is a dictator.
He opened the southern border but put a fence around the government legislature. He has Secret Service protecting himself and 38,000 National Guardsmen guarding him and the capital.
Looks like the beginning of a dictatorship to me. Didn’t most if not all dictatorships start by vilifying the opposition and disarming the population?

Of course ALL the traitors in DC want to take our guns, especially Biden and Harris. They fear execution by irate citizens disappointed by the treason of our deviant politicians, Justice Department and Intelligence Agencies. It’s the actual purpose of the Second Amendment to protect from a tyrannical government.

The Democrats are seeking to totally upend the 1st and 2nd Amendment plus other Constitutional guarantees that we presently have. The House has passed HR1 which puts election laws under the control of the Federal Government. Monday the House will be voting on HR5, the Equality Act, taking rights away from women and religion. And now the Gun Law.
By the time the Socialists, the Communists, and the Marxists in the House get through with their laws, there will be no Constitution. Hopefully, there is some sanity left in the Senate.
