The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious.

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you.

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket.

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores.

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>.

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>.

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>.

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious.

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you.

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How?

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns.

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control.

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control. So get out and vote. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Pushes Gun Control Immediately Following Ambush of LA Officers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-gun-control-la-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/16\/biden-gun-control-la-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11750,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-04-22 12:27:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-22 16:27:35","post_content":"The novel coronavirus and the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic changed the world.

And let there be no mistake, Biden's nomination definitively makes the 2020 race for the presidency all about guns<\/a>. This week he released \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic,\" which puts Joe's agenda right out in the open.\n\n[in_content post=\"123497\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n

Biden Launches 'Plan to End Gun Violence Epidemic'<\/h2>\nPart mantra, part money-generating machine, the Joe Biden website launched a page dedicated to his gun control initiatives. Of course, it wears a can't-miss donation tab across the top, soliciting donations from $5 to $500, or the coveted \"other\" amount in excess.\n\nBut when the panhandling ends, the nausea truly begins. Biden clearly wants to irrevocably wreck the Second Amendment. Highlights begin with destroying the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. This would open up gun companies to frivolous lawsuits, potentially bankrupting companies, and destroying thousands of American jobs in the process.\n\nJoe wants to completely ban the manufacture and sale of so-called \"assault weapons\" and high-capacity magazines. He wants to take what the Democrats did in 1994, make it widely more inclusive of more types of guns and magazines, and ban them all forever.\n

Assault Weapons & Much, Much More<\/h4>\nBiden also has a plan for existing assault weapons. They would be regulated by the NFA, essentially turning your AR-15 into the same classification as a machine gun. And then they're going to institute a buy back program. They're going to take our money to buy back our guns, that they of course never sold in the first place.\n\nFinally, background checks will become universal, in every way, for every gun transfer. Make that for whatever gun is actually left still legal to own. Loopholes, circumventing due process, establishing of task forces; you name it, and this plan includes a ban, prohibition or outright constitutional infringement.\n\nAnd a caveat: Biden would \"end the online sale of firearms and ammunitions.\" This would include all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits and gun parts.\n\nIn totality, \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic\" represents the most egregious collection of Second Amendment infringements ever touted by a presidential candidate.

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day.

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day.

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control.

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders.

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control. So get out and vote. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Pushes Gun Control Immediately Following Ambush of LA Officers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-gun-control-la-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/16\/biden-gun-control-la-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11750,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-04-22 12:27:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-22 16:27:35","post_content":"The novel coronavirus and the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic changed the world.

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control. So get out and vote. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Pushes Gun Control Immediately Following Ambush of LA Officers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-gun-control-la-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/16\/biden-gun-control-la-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11750,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-04-22 12:27:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-22 16:27:35","post_content":"The novel coronavirus and the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic changed the world.

And let there be no mistake, Biden's nomination definitively makes the 2020 race for the presidency all about guns<\/a>.

Biden clearly wants to irrevocably wreck the Second Amendment. Highlights begin with destroying the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. This would open up gun companies to frivolous lawsuits, potentially bankrupting companies, and destroying thousands of American jobs in the process.\n\nJoe wants to completely ban the manufacture and sale of so-called \"assault weapons\" and high-capacity magazines. He wants to take what the Democrats did in 1994, make it widely more inclusive of more types of guns and magazines, and ban them all forever.\n

Assault Weapons & Much, Much More<\/h4>\nBiden also has a plan for existing assault weapons. They would be regulated by the NFA, essentially turning your AR-15 into the same classification as a machine gun. And then they're going to institute a buy back program. They're going to take our money to buy back our guns, that they of course never sold in the first place.\n\nFinally, background checks will become universal, in every way, for every gun transfer. Make that for whatever gun is actually left still legal to own. Loopholes, circumventing due process, establishing of task forces; you name it, and this plan includes a ban, prohibition or outright constitutional infringement.\n\nAnd a caveat: Biden would \"end the online sale of firearms and ammunitions.\" This would include all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits and gun parts.\n\nIn totality, \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic\" represents the most egregious collection of Second Amendment infringements ever touted by a presidential candidate.

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious.

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you.

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day.

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control. So get out and vote. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Pushes Gun Control Immediately Following Ambush of LA Officers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-gun-control-la-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/16\/biden-gun-control-la-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11750,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-04-22 12:27:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-22 16:27:35","post_content":"The novel coronavirus and the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic changed the world.

And let there be no mistake, Biden's nomination definitively makes the 2020 race for the presidency all about guns<\/a>.

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day.

Joe Biden believes promising to ban the most popular rife in America is a winning election strategy. Biden must, because the Democratic presidential candidate voiced his plans to do just that again on Sunday, saying he would institute an assault weapon ban. He even added in other anti-gun aspirations he has in store for the county if elected, just for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control. So get out and vote. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Pushes Gun Control Immediately Following Ambush of LA Officers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-gun-control-la-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/16\/biden-gun-control-la-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11750,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-04-22 12:27:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-22 16:27:35","post_content":"The novel coronavirus and the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic changed the world. Rightly so, all walks of life shifted attention to stopping the spread of a deadly disease. But quietly, in the shadows, Joe Biden<\/a> continued his push for the White House, now becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee. And let there be no mistake, Biden's nomination definitively makes the 2020 race for the presidency all about guns<\/a>. This week he released \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic,\" which puts Joe's agenda right out in the open.\n\n[in_content post=\"123497\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n

Biden Launches 'Plan to End Gun Violence Epidemic'<\/h2>\nPart mantra, part money-generating machine, the Joe Biden website launched a page dedicated to his gun control initiatives. Of course, it wears a can't-miss donation tab across the top, soliciting donations from $5 to $500, or the coveted \"other\" amount in excess.\n\nBut when the panhandling ends, the nausea truly begins. Biden clearly wants to irrevocably wreck the Second Amendment. Highlights begin with destroying the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. This would open up gun companies to frivolous lawsuits, potentially bankrupting companies, and destroying thousands of American jobs in the process.\n\nJoe wants to completely ban the manufacture and sale of so-called \"assault weapons\" and high-capacity magazines. He wants to take what the Democrats did in 1994, make it widely more inclusive of more types of guns and magazines, and ban them all forever.\n

Assault Weapons & Much, Much More<\/h4>\nBiden also has a plan for existing assault weapons. They would be regulated by the NFA, essentially turning your AR-15 into the same classification as a machine gun. And then they're going to institute a buy back program. They're going to take our money to buy back our guns, that they of course never sold in the first place.\n\nFinally, background checks will become universal, in every way, for every gun transfer. Make that for whatever gun is actually left still legal to own. Loopholes, circumventing due process, establishing of task forces; you name it, and this plan includes a ban, prohibition or outright constitutional infringement.\n\nAnd a caveat: Biden would \"end the online sale of firearms and ammunitions.\" This would include all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits and gun parts.\n\nIn totality, \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic\" represents the most egregious collection of Second Amendment infringements ever touted by a presidential candidate.

Finally, don't think this hyperbole. The Biden White House will come after you, the American gun owner. Remember our very recent coverage of the ATF going after the Honey Badger<\/a>? And this under a supposed gun-friendly administration? Under a Biden White House, the ATF will weaponize against the American gun owner. One-by-one, rulings and interpretations will change. Like bump stocks, AR pistols, pistol braces, accessory features and more will likely suddenly change classes. In a worst case scenario, overnight American gun owners could reclassify as felons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden believes promising to ban the most popular rife in America is a winning election strategy. Biden must, because the Democratic presidential candidate voiced his plans to do just that again on Sunday, saying he would institute an assault weapon ban. He even added in other anti-gun aspirations he has in store for the county if elected, just for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols.

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Will Come for You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don't think this hyperbole. The Biden White House will come after you, the American gun owner. Remember our very recent coverage of the ATF going after the Honey Badger<\/a>? And this under a supposed gun-friendly administration? Under a Biden White House, the ATF will weaponize against the American gun owner. One-by-one, rulings and interpretations will change. Like bump stocks, AR pistols, pistol braces, accessory features and more will likely suddenly change classes. In a worst case scenario, overnight American gun owners could reclassify as felons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for the greatest attack against the Second Amendment of our lifetimes. And pray Republicans hold the Senate, before it's too late. <\/p>\n","post_title":"What a Biden White House Means for Gun Owners, Second Amendment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-white-house-gun-owners","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-16 12:22:06","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-16 16:22:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/09\/biden-white-house-gun-owners\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10754,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-11-02 13:16:07","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-02 18:16:07","post_content":"\n

Joe Biden believes promising to ban the most popular rife in America is a winning election strategy. Biden must, because the Democratic presidential candidate voiced his plans to do just that again on Sunday, saying he would institute an assault weapon ban. He even added in other anti-gun aspirations he has in store for the county if elected, just for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Joe Biden believes promising to ban the most popular rife in America is a winning election strategy. Biden must, because the Democratic presidential candidate voiced his plans to do just that again on Sunday, saying he would institute an assault weapon ban. He even added in other anti-gun aspirations he has in store for the county if elected, just for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control. So get out and vote. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Pushes Gun Control Immediately Following Ambush of LA Officers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-gun-control-la-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/16\/biden-gun-control-la-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11750,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-04-22 12:27:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-22 16:27:35","post_content":"The novel coronavirus and the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic changed the world.

In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day.

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control. So get out and vote. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Pushes Gun Control Immediately Following Ambush of LA Officers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-gun-control-la-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/16\/biden-gun-control-la-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11750,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-04-22 12:27:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-22 16:27:35","post_content":"The novel coronavirus and the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic changed the world. Rightly so, all walks of life shifted attention to stopping the spread of a deadly disease. But quietly, in the shadows, Joe Biden<\/a> continued his push for the White House, now becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee. And let there be no mistake, Biden's nomination definitively makes the 2020 race for the presidency all about guns<\/a>. This week he released \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic,\" which puts Joe's agenda right out in the open.\n\n[in_content post=\"123497\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n

Biden Launches 'Plan to End Gun Violence Epidemic'<\/h2>\nPart mantra, part money-generating machine, the Joe Biden website launched a page dedicated to his gun control initiatives. Of course, it wears a can't-miss donation tab across the top, soliciting donations from $5 to $500, or the coveted \"other\" amount in excess.\n\nBut when the panhandling ends, the nausea truly begins. Biden clearly wants to irrevocably wreck the Second Amendment. Highlights begin with destroying the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. This would open up gun companies to frivolous lawsuits, potentially bankrupting companies, and destroying thousands of American jobs in the process.\n\nJoe wants to completely ban the manufacture and sale of so-called \"assault weapons\" and high-capacity magazines. He wants to take what the Democrats did in 1994, make it widely more inclusive of more types of guns and magazines, and ban them all forever.\n

Assault Weapons & Much, Much More<\/h4>\nBiden also has a plan for existing assault weapons. They would be regulated by the NFA, essentially turning your AR-15 into the same classification as a machine gun. And then they're going to institute a buy back program. They're going to take our money to buy back our guns, that they of course never sold in the first place.\n\nFinally, background checks will become universal, in every way, for every gun transfer. Make that for whatever gun is actually left still legal to own. Loopholes, circumventing due process, establishing of task forces; you name it, and this plan includes a ban, prohibition or outright constitutional infringement.\n\nAnd a caveat: Biden would \"end the online sale of firearms and ammunitions.\" This would include all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits and gun parts.\n\nIn totality, \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic\" represents the most egregious collection of Second Amendment infringements ever touted by a presidential candidate.

This double whammy of NFA status and a punitive sin tax would make gun ownership extremely difficult for many Americans. The self-anointed \"Middle Class Joe\" would be crushing exactly those he claims to represent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Biden White House will attempt to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/a>. This law shields firearm companies against frivolous lawsuits. Without it, prepare for an onslaught of likely Bloomberg-type funded lawsuits designed merely to cripple each big gun company. They will systematically, using the plan first crafted against the tobacco industry, take down every institution in the 2A community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Will Come for You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don't think this hyperbole. The Biden White House will come after you, the American gun owner. Remember our very recent coverage of the ATF going after the Honey Badger<\/a>? And this under a supposed gun-friendly administration? Under a Biden White House, the ATF will weaponize against the American gun owner. One-by-one, rulings and interpretations will change. Like bump stocks, AR pistols, pistol braces, accessory features and more will likely suddenly change classes. In a worst case scenario, overnight American gun owners could reclassify as felons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for the greatest attack against the Second Amendment of our lifetimes.

Joe Biden believes promising to ban the most popular rife in America is a winning election strategy. Biden must, because the Democratic presidential candidate voiced his plans to do just that again on Sunday, saying he would institute an assault weapon ban. He even added in other anti-gun aspirations he has in store for the county if elected, just for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sort of a 1B to the 1A of banning assault rifles moving forward, Biden plans to tax the platform virtually out of existence. We previously reported a Biden tax plan on rifles and magazines would cost American gun owners to the tune of $3.6 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This double whammy of NFA status and a punitive sin tax would make gun ownership extremely difficult for many Americans. The self-anointed \"Middle Class Joe\" would be crushing exactly those he claims to represent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Biden White House will attempt to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/a>. This law shields firearm companies against frivolous lawsuits. Without it, prepare for an onslaught of likely Bloomberg-type funded lawsuits designed merely to cripple each big gun company. They will systematically, using the plan first crafted against the tobacco industry, take down every institution in the 2A community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Will Come for You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don't think this hyperbole. The Biden White House will come after you, the American gun owner. Remember our very recent coverage of the ATF going after the Honey Badger<\/a>? And this under a supposed gun-friendly administration? Under a Biden White House, the ATF will weaponize against the American gun owner. One-by-one, rulings and interpretations will change. Like bump stocks, AR pistols, pistol braces, accessory features and more will likely suddenly change classes. In a worst case scenario, overnight American gun owners could reclassify as felons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for the greatest attack against the Second Amendment of our lifetimes. And pray Republicans hold the Senate, before it's too late. <\/p>\n","post_title":"What a Biden White House Means for Gun Owners, Second Amendment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-white-house-gun-owners","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-16 12:22:06","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-16 16:22:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/09\/biden-white-house-gun-owners\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10754,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-11-02 13:16:07","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-02 18:16:07","post_content":"\n

Joe Biden believes promising to ban the most popular rife in America is a winning election strategy. Biden must, because the Democratic presidential candidate voiced his plans to do just that again on Sunday, saying he would institute an assault weapon ban. He even added in other anti-gun aspirations he has in store for the county if elected, just for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Tax the American Gun Owner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sort of a 1B to the 1A of banning assault rifles moving forward, Biden plans to tax the platform virtually out of existence. We previously reported a Biden tax plan on rifles and magazines would cost American gun owners to the tune of $3.6 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This double whammy of NFA status and a punitive sin tax would make gun ownership extremely difficult for many Americans. The self-anointed \"Middle Class Joe\" would be crushing exactly those he claims to represent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Biden White House will attempt to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/a>. This law shields firearm companies against frivolous lawsuits. Without it, prepare for an onslaught of likely Bloomberg-type funded lawsuits designed merely to cripple each big gun company. They will systematically, using the plan first crafted against the tobacco industry, take down every institution in the 2A community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don't think this hyperbole. The Biden White House will come after you, the American gun owner. Remember our very recent coverage of the ATF going after the Honey Badger<\/a>? And this under a supposed gun-friendly administration? Under a Biden White House, the ATF will weaponize against the American gun owner. One-by-one, rulings and interpretations will change.

Joe Biden believes promising to ban the most popular rife in America is a winning election strategy. Biden must, because the Democratic presidential candidate voiced his plans to do just that again on Sunday, saying he would institute an assault weapon ban. He even added in other anti-gun aspirations he has in store for the county if elected, just for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control. So get out and vote. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Pushes Gun Control Immediately Following Ambush of LA Officers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-gun-control-la-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/16\/biden-gun-control-la-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11750,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-04-22 12:27:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-22 16:27:35","post_content":"The novel coronavirus and the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic changed the world.

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day.

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control. So get out and vote. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Pushes Gun Control Immediately Following Ambush of LA Officers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-gun-control-la-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/16\/biden-gun-control-la-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11750,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-04-22 12:27:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-22 16:27:35","post_content":"The novel coronavirus and the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic changed the world.

And let there be no mistake, Biden's nomination definitively makes the 2020 race for the presidency all about guns<\/a>. This week he released \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic,\" which puts Joe's agenda right out in the open.\n\n[in_content post=\"123497\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n

Biden Launches 'Plan to End Gun Violence Epidemic'<\/h2>\nPart mantra, part money-generating machine, the Joe Biden website launched a page dedicated to his gun control initiatives. Of course, it wears a can't-miss donation tab across the top, soliciting donations from $5 to $500, or the coveted \"other\" amount in excess.\n\nBut when the panhandling ends, the nausea truly begins. Biden clearly wants to irrevocably wreck the Second Amendment. Highlights begin with destroying the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. This would open up gun companies to frivolous lawsuits, potentially bankrupting companies, and destroying thousands of American jobs in the process.\n\nJoe wants to completely ban the manufacture and sale of so-called \"assault weapons\" and high-capacity magazines. He wants to take what the Democrats did in 1994, make it widely more inclusive of more types of guns and magazines, and ban them all forever.\n

Assault Weapons & Much, Much More<\/h4>\nBiden also has a plan for existing assault weapons. They would be regulated by the NFA, essentially turning your AR-15 into the same classification as a machine gun. And then they're going to institute a buy back program. They're going to take our money to buy back our guns, that they of course never sold in the first place.\n\nFinally, background checks will become universal, in every way, for every gun transfer. Make that for whatever gun is actually left still legal to own. Loopholes, circumventing due process, establishing of task forces; you name it, and this plan includes a ban, prohibition or outright constitutional infringement.\n\nAnd a caveat: Biden would \"end the online sale of firearms and ammunitions.\" This would include all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits and gun parts.\n\nIn totality, \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic\" represents the most egregious collection of Second Amendment infringements ever touted by a presidential candidate.

Biden has made it clear that he will attempt to ban semi-automatic rifles<\/a>. How soon that happens is uncertain. Nearly all of them, in every class, will get lumped into the erroneous category of \"assault rifle.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will also attempt to ban every magazine holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Should this action prove effective, America's rifle is gone. So, too, will be countless AR manufacturers and makers of accessory components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tax the American Gun Owner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sort of a 1B to the 1A of banning assault rifles moving forward, Biden plans to tax the platform virtually out of existence. We previously reported a Biden tax plan on rifles and magazines would cost American gun owners to the tune of $3.6 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This double whammy of NFA status and a punitive sin tax would make gun ownership extremely difficult for many Americans. The self-anointed \"Middle Class Joe\" would be crushing exactly those he claims to represent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Biden White House will attempt to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/a>. This law shields firearm companies against frivolous lawsuits. Without it, prepare for an onslaught of likely Bloomberg-type funded lawsuits designed merely to cripple each big gun company. They will systematically, using the plan first crafted against the tobacco industry, take down every institution in the 2A community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Will Come for You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don't think this hyperbole. The Biden White House will come after you, the American gun owner. Remember our very recent coverage of the ATF going after the Honey Badger<\/a>? And this under a supposed gun-friendly administration? Under a Biden White House, the ATF will weaponize against the American gun owner. One-by-one, rulings and interpretations will change. Like bump stocks, AR pistols, pistol braces, accessory features and more will likely suddenly change classes. In a worst case scenario, overnight American gun owners could reclassify as felons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for the greatest attack against the Second Amendment of our lifetimes. And pray Republicans hold the Senate, before it's too late. <\/p>\n","post_title":"What a Biden White House Means for Gun Owners, Second Amendment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-white-house-gun-owners","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-16 12:22:06","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-16 16:22:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/09\/biden-white-house-gun-owners\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10754,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-11-02 13:16:07","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-02 18:16:07","post_content":"\n

Joe Biden believes promising to ban the most popular rife in America is a winning election strategy. Biden must, because the Democratic presidential candidate voiced his plans to do just that again on Sunday, saying he would institute an assault weapon ban. He even added in other anti-gun aspirations he has in store for the county if elected, just for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter.

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>.

Ban Assault Rifles, High-Capacity Magazines<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Biden has made it clear that he will attempt to ban semi-automatic rifles<\/a>. How soon that happens is uncertain. Nearly all of them, in every class, will get lumped into the erroneous category of \"assault rifle.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will also attempt to ban every magazine holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Should this action prove effective, America's rifle is gone. So, too, will be countless AR manufacturers and makers of accessory components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tax the American Gun Owner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sort of a 1B to the 1A of banning assault rifles moving forward, Biden plans to tax the platform virtually out of existence. We previously reported a Biden tax plan on rifles and magazines would cost American gun owners to the tune of $3.6 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This double whammy of NFA status and a punitive sin tax would make gun ownership extremely difficult for many Americans. The self-anointed \"Middle Class Joe\" would be crushing exactly those he claims to represent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Biden White House will attempt to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/a>. This law shields firearm companies against frivolous lawsuits. Without it, prepare for an onslaught of likely Bloomberg-type funded lawsuits designed merely to cripple each big gun company. They will systematically, using the plan first crafted against the tobacco industry, take down every institution in the 2A community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Will Come for You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don't think this hyperbole. The Biden White House will come after you, the American gun owner. Remember our very recent coverage of the ATF going after the Honey Badger<\/a>? And this under a supposed gun-friendly administration? Under a Biden White House, the ATF will weaponize against the American gun owner. One-by-one, rulings and interpretations will change. Like bump stocks, AR pistols, pistol braces, accessory features and more will likely suddenly change classes. In a worst case scenario, overnight American gun owners could reclassify as felons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for the greatest attack against the Second Amendment of our lifetimes. And pray Republicans hold the Senate, before it's too late. <\/p>\n","post_title":"What a Biden White House Means for Gun Owners, Second Amendment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-white-house-gun-owners","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-16 12:22:06","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-16 16:22:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/09\/biden-white-house-gun-owners\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10754,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-11-02 13:16:07","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-02 18:16:07","post_content":"\n

Joe Biden believes promising to ban the most popular rife in America is a winning election strategy. Biden must, because the Democratic presidential candidate voiced his plans to do just that again on Sunday, saying he would institute an assault weapon ban. He even added in other anti-gun aspirations he has in store for the county if elected, just for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>.

With the presidency seemingly locked up, the Democrats also retained control of the House of Representatives. That leaves only the Senate, with two projected run-off elections to decide the entire balance of power for two years. We'll report more on the upcoming Georgia Senate race later. For now, let's take a look at Biden's systematic plan to crush the firearms industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ban Assault Rifles, High-Capacity Magazines<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Biden has made it clear that he will attempt to ban semi-automatic rifles<\/a>. How soon that happens is uncertain. Nearly all of them, in every class, will get lumped into the erroneous category of \"assault rifle.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will also attempt to ban every magazine holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Should this action prove effective, America's rifle is gone. So, too, will be countless AR manufacturers and makers of accessory components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tax the American Gun Owner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sort of a 1B to the 1A of banning assault rifles moving forward, Biden plans to tax the platform virtually out of existence. We previously reported a Biden tax plan on rifles and magazines would cost American gun owners to the tune of $3.6 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This double whammy of NFA status and a punitive sin tax would make gun ownership extremely difficult for many Americans. The self-anointed \"Middle Class Joe\" would be crushing exactly those he claims to represent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Biden White House will attempt to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/a>. This law shields firearm companies against frivolous lawsuits. Without it, prepare for an onslaught of likely Bloomberg-type funded lawsuits designed merely to cripple each big gun company. They will systematically, using the plan first crafted against the tobacco industry, take down every institution in the 2A community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Will Come for You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don't think this hyperbole. The Biden White House will come after you, the American gun owner. Remember our very recent coverage of the ATF going after the Honey Badger<\/a>? And this under a supposed gun-friendly administration? Under a Biden White House, the ATF will weaponize against the American gun owner. One-by-one, rulings and interpretations will change. Like bump stocks, AR pistols, pistol braces, accessory features and more will likely suddenly change classes. In a worst case scenario, overnight American gun owners could reclassify as felons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for the greatest attack against the Second Amendment of our lifetimes. And pray Republicans hold the Senate, before it's too late. <\/p>\n","post_title":"What a Biden White House Means for Gun Owners, Second Amendment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-white-house-gun-owners","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-16 12:22:06","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-16 16:22:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/09\/biden-white-house-gun-owners\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10754,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-11-02 13:16:07","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-02 18:16:07","post_content":"\n

Joe Biden believes promising to ban the most popular rife in America is a winning election strategy. Biden must, because the Democratic presidential candidate voiced his plans to do just that again on Sunday, saying he would institute an assault weapon ban. He even added in other anti-gun aspirations he has in store for the county if elected, just for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sort of a 1B to the 1A of banning assault rifles moving forward, Biden plans to tax the platform virtually out of existence. We previously reported a Biden tax plan on rifles and magazines would cost American gun owners to the tune of $3.6 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This double whammy of NFA status and a punitive sin tax would make gun ownership extremely difficult for many Americans. The self-anointed \"Middle Class Joe\" would be crushing exactly those he claims to represent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Biden White House will attempt to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/a>. This law shields firearm companies against frivolous lawsuits. Without it, prepare for an onslaught of likely Bloomberg-type funded lawsuits designed merely to cripple each big gun company. They will systematically, using the plan first crafted against the tobacco industry, take down every institution in the 2A community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Will Come for You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don't think this hyperbole. The Biden White House will come after you, the American gun owner. Remember our very recent coverage of the ATF going after the Honey Badger<\/a>?

Joe Biden believes promising to ban the most popular rife in America is a winning election strategy. Biden must, because the Democratic presidential candidate voiced his plans to do just that again on Sunday, saying he would institute an assault weapon ban. He even added in other anti-gun aspirations he has in store for the county if elected, just for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control. So get out and vote. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Pushes Gun Control Immediately Following Ambush of LA Officers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-gun-control-la-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/16\/biden-gun-control-la-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11750,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-04-22 12:27:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-22 16:27:35","post_content":"The novel coronavirus and the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic changed the world.

And let there be no mistake, Biden's nomination definitively makes the 2020 race for the presidency all about guns<\/a>.

Biden clearly wants to irrevocably wreck the Second Amendment. Highlights begin with destroying the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. This would open up gun companies to frivolous lawsuits, potentially bankrupting companies, and destroying thousands of American jobs in the process.\n\nJoe wants to completely ban the manufacture and sale of so-called \"assault weapons\" and high-capacity magazines.

Assault Weapons & Much, Much More<\/h4>\nBiden also has a plan for existing assault weapons. They would be regulated by the NFA, essentially turning your AR-15 into the same classification as a machine gun. And then they're going to institute a buy back program. They're going to take our money to buy back our guns, that they of course never sold in the first place.\n\nFinally, background checks will become universal, in every way, for every gun transfer. Make that for whatever gun is actually left still legal to own. Loopholes, circumventing due process, establishing of task forces; you name it, and this plan includes a ban, prohibition or outright constitutional infringement.\n\nAnd a caveat: Biden would \"end the online sale of firearms and ammunitions.\" This would include all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits and gun parts.\n\nIn totality, \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic\" represents the most egregious collection of Second Amendment infringements ever touted by a presidential candidate.

What a Biden White House Means for 2A Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well if you follow this site at all, you know it's most likely bad. Biden just successfully ran the most anti-gun campaign in the history of American presidency. And that's saying quite a lot. Not Hilary, not Obama\u2013the President-elect is the most overtly anti-gun person to ever assume power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the presidency seemingly locked up, the Democrats also retained control of the House of Representatives. That leaves only the Senate, with two projected run-off elections to decide the entire balance of power for two years. We'll report more on the upcoming Georgia Senate race later. For now, let's take a look at Biden's systematic plan to crush the firearms industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ban Assault Rifles, High-Capacity Magazines<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Biden has made it clear that he will attempt to ban semi-automatic rifles<\/a>. How soon that happens is uncertain. Nearly all of them, in every class, will get lumped into the erroneous category of \"assault rifle.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will also attempt to ban every magazine holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Should this action prove effective, America's rifle is gone. So, too, will be countless AR manufacturers and makers of accessory components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tax the American Gun Owner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sort of a 1B to the 1A of banning assault rifles moving forward, Biden plans to tax the platform virtually out of existence. We previously reported a Biden tax plan on rifles and magazines would cost American gun owners to the tune of $3.6 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This double whammy of NFA status and a punitive sin tax would make gun ownership extremely difficult for many Americans. The self-anointed \"Middle Class Joe\" would be crushing exactly those he claims to represent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Biden White House will attempt to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/a>. This law shields firearm companies against frivolous lawsuits. Without it, prepare for an onslaught of likely Bloomberg-type funded lawsuits designed merely to cripple each big gun company. They will systematically, using the plan first crafted against the tobacco industry, take down every institution in the 2A community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Will Come for You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don't think this hyperbole. The Biden White House will come after you, the American gun owner. Remember our very recent coverage of the ATF going after the Honey Badger<\/a>? And this under a supposed gun-friendly administration? Under a Biden White House, the ATF will weaponize against the American gun owner. One-by-one, rulings and interpretations will change. Like bump stocks, AR pistols, pistol braces, accessory features and more will likely suddenly change classes. In a worst case scenario, overnight American gun owners could reclassify as felons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for the greatest attack against the Second Amendment of our lifetimes. And pray Republicans hold the Senate, before it's too late. <\/p>\n","post_title":"What a Biden White House Means for Gun Owners, Second Amendment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-white-house-gun-owners","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-16 12:22:06","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-16 16:22:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/09\/biden-white-house-gun-owners\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10754,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-11-02 13:16:07","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-02 18:16:07","post_content":"\n

Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day.

We\u2019ve warned you in the past of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden\u2019s propensity toward banning AR-15-style rifles<\/a>\u2014the most popular type of rifle in the country used by many law-abiding Americans for sport shooting, competition, hunting and home defense. In fact, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Bill Clinton\u2019s so-called \u201cassault weapon ban\u201d passed back in the 1990s. The ban lasted 10 years without delivering any measurable effect on violent crime. However, the new Biden plan against the AR-15 goes so much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Biden Plan to Tax the AR-15 Out of Existence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today and Biden has a new plan targeting the AR-15. His plan includes an attempt to make semi-auto rifles too expensive for the average American to own. How? By regulating currently owned rifles through the National Firearms Act of 1964, thereby levying a heavy tax on the commonly owned rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden's gun plan changes the way the government would regulate AR-15s, wrote AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News<\/a>. More to the point, it infringes upon ownership. The article links out to a Giffords Law Center memorandum, explaining the effect: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons<\/a> under the National Firearms Act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Big Lie About Assault Rifles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What Biden won\u2019t tell you is that AR-15-style rifles are also rarely used in crimes. Even the FBI says criminals use rifles of any kind in less than 5 percent of shootings<\/a> in the U.S. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles measure at an even smaller subset of that percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also won\u2019t tell you that government research into the Clinton gun ban of the 1990s showed it had no significant effect on violent crime. So Congress let the law \u201csunset\u201d 10 years after its initial passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s NFA scheme comes with a substantial price tag for current AR-15 owners. A $200 NFA tax on the approximately 18 million AR-15s owned by Americans amounts to $3.6 billion in extra taxes. Again, those aren't just new AR-15s; this applies to currently owned AR-15s. This constitutes private citizens already deemed law-abiding through background checks. So, unlike a so-called \u201csin tax\u201d that levies additional taxes on questionable activities like smoking and drinking alcohol, Biden\u2019s plan would create extra fees and red tape for Americans who are simply practicing a Constitutional right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris Equally Anti-Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles. Her anti-gun activism goes back decades to her seven-year stint as San Francisco\u2019s district attorney. Harris has openly embraced gun confiscation through what she called \u201cmandatory buyback\" programs; it's a nonsensical term since the government can\u2019t \u201cbuy back\u201d something it never owned. In fact, such \u201cbuybacks\u201d amount to forced confiscation of private property with a fee paid to the person who had the firearm confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1305300227721703424?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control. So get out and vote. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Pushes Gun Control Immediately Following Ambush of LA Officers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-gun-control-la-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/16\/biden-gun-control-la-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11750,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-04-22 12:27:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-22 16:27:35","post_content":"The novel coronavirus and the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic changed the world. Rightly so, all walks of life shifted attention to stopping the spread of a deadly disease. But quietly, in the shadows, Joe Biden<\/a> continued his push for the White House, now becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee. And let there be no mistake, Biden's nomination definitively makes the 2020 race for the presidency all about guns<\/a>. This week he released \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic,\" which puts Joe's agenda right out in the open.\n\n[in_content post=\"123497\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n

Biden Launches 'Plan to End Gun Violence Epidemic'<\/h2>\nPart mantra, part money-generating machine, the Joe Biden website launched a page dedicated to his gun control initiatives. Of course, it wears a can't-miss donation tab across the top, soliciting donations from $5 to $500, or the coveted \"other\" amount in excess.\n\nBut when the panhandling ends, the nausea truly begins. Biden clearly wants to irrevocably wreck the Second Amendment. Highlights begin with destroying the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. This would open up gun companies to frivolous lawsuits, potentially bankrupting companies, and destroying thousands of American jobs in the process.\n\nJoe wants to completely ban the manufacture and sale of so-called \"assault weapons\" and high-capacity magazines. He wants to take what the Democrats did in 1994, make it widely more inclusive of more types of guns and magazines, and ban them all forever.\n

Assault Weapons & Much, Much More<\/h4>\nBiden also has a plan for existing assault weapons. They would be regulated by the NFA, essentially turning your AR-15 into the same classification as a machine gun. And then they're going to institute a buy back program. They're going to take our money to buy back our guns, that they of course never sold in the first place.\n\nFinally, background checks will become universal, in every way, for every gun transfer. Make that for whatever gun is actually left still legal to own. Loopholes, circumventing due process, establishing of task forces; you name it, and this plan includes a ban, prohibition or outright constitutional infringement.\n\nAnd a caveat: Biden would \"end the online sale of firearms and ammunitions.\" This would include all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits and gun parts.\n\nIn totality, \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic\" represents the most egregious collection of Second Amendment infringements ever touted by a presidential candidate.

Lawsuits will be filed. Challenges will continue. And there may very well be a shakeup in the final vote counts. But barring an unprecedented reversal, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are assuming power in January. So if that ends up holding true, just what exactly does a Biden White House mean for gun owners and the Second Amendment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

What a Biden White House Means for 2A Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well if you follow this site at all, you know it's most likely bad. Biden just successfully ran the most anti-gun campaign in the history of American presidency. And that's saying quite a lot. Not Hilary, not Obama\u2013the President-elect is the most overtly anti-gun person to ever assume power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the presidency seemingly locked up, the Democrats also retained control of the House of Representatives. That leaves only the Senate, with two projected run-off elections to decide the entire balance of power for two years. We'll report more on the upcoming Georgia Senate race later. For now, let's take a look at Biden's systematic plan to crush the firearms industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ban Assault Rifles, High-Capacity Magazines<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Biden has made it clear that he will attempt to ban semi-automatic rifles<\/a>. How soon that happens is uncertain. Nearly all of them, in every class, will get lumped into the erroneous category of \"assault rifle.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will also attempt to ban every magazine holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Should this action prove effective, America's rifle is gone. So, too, will be countless AR manufacturers and makers of accessory components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tax the American Gun Owner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sort of a 1B to the 1A of banning assault rifles moving forward, Biden plans to tax the platform virtually out of existence. We previously reported a Biden tax plan on rifles and magazines would cost American gun owners to the tune of $3.6 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This double whammy of NFA status and a punitive sin tax would make gun ownership extremely difficult for many Americans. The self-anointed \"Middle Class Joe\" would be crushing exactly those he claims to represent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Biden White House will attempt to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act<\/a>. This law shields firearm companies against frivolous lawsuits. Without it, prepare for an onslaught of likely Bloomberg-type funded lawsuits designed merely to cripple each big gun company. They will systematically, using the plan first crafted against the tobacco industry, take down every institution in the 2A community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Will Come for You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don't think this hyperbole. The Biden White House will come after you, the American gun owner. Remember our very recent coverage of the ATF going after the Honey Badger<\/a>? And this under a supposed gun-friendly administration? Under a Biden White House, the ATF will weaponize against the American gun owner. One-by-one, rulings and interpretations will change. Like bump stocks, AR pistols, pistol braces, accessory features and more will likely suddenly change classes. In a worst case scenario, overnight American gun owners could reclassify as felons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for the greatest attack against the Second Amendment of our lifetimes. And pray Republicans hold the Senate, before it's too late. <\/p>\n","post_title":"What a Biden White House Means for Gun Owners, Second Amendment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-white-house-gun-owners","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-16 12:22:06","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-16 16:22:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/09\/biden-white-house-gun-owners\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10754,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-11-02 13:16:07","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-02 18:16:07","post_content":"\n

Joe Biden believes promising to ban the most popular rife in America is a winning election strategy. Biden must, because the Democratic presidential candidate voiced his plans to do just that again on Sunday, saying he would institute an assault weapon ban. He even added in other anti-gun aspirations he has in store for the county if elected, just for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Victory Will Bring Assault Weapon Ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a Tweet<\/a> on Sunday, Biden stated, \u201cAs president, I\u2019ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the \u201cassault weapons\u201d he mentions consist of simply semi-automatic rifles. They fire only one shot every time a shooter pulls the trigger, just like semi-auto pistols. These AR-15-type rifles remain the most popular rifles in the country. Tens of millions of Americans use them legally for sport, competition, hunting and home defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden keeps bragging about the role he played in the failed Clinton semi-auto ban of the 1990s. And he continues to do so, even though Congress let the law sunset when government research showed it didn\u2019t have an effect on mass shootings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The False Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, criminals seldom use the rifles Biden wants to ban in violent crimes or murders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation classifies homicides in various ways. In many cases, the agency knows the weapon used<\/a> and other circumstances related to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 13,927 murders in 2019 that the FBI had supplemental data for, a total of only 361 were committed using a rifle of any kind; that\u2019s just more than 2.5 percent of those murders. Factor in the fact that semi-auto rifles are just a subset of all rifles; this shows that less than 2.5 percent of murders are committed by criminals using the much-hated, often-maligned AR-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, several other means of murder show up on the report far more often than rifles. Murderers used cutting instruments (knives) 1,476 times in 2019\u2014four times more than rifles. Personal weapons (hands, fists and feet) and blunt objects also contributed to more homicides than rifles. In that example, they accounted for 600 murders compared to 397 murders using rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine Bans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Concerning those so-called \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines Biden wants to ban, in reality they are simply standard-capacity magazines that come stock with many semi-automatic rifles and pistols. In fact, if Biden had his way, standard magazines used in common full-sized pistols like the Glock 17, Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and Sig P320 would be outlawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for those so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d that Biden has an affinity for, most Personal Defense World readers already know that \u201cuniversal\u201d background checks are far from universal; criminals don\u2019t abide by America\u2019s gun laws\u2014or other laws, for that matter. Consequently, passage of such laws makes life more difficult for the law-abiding. Meanwhile, they have no effect on whether violent criminals are able to get a gun or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold attack on Second Amendment rights just two days before the presidential election should convince all gun owners to do their civic duty. Don\u2019t forget that tomorrow is election day. Vote as if your country\u2014and your ability to own whatever kind of gun you choose<\/a>\u2014depends on it.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Doubles Down on Assault Weapon Ban Days Before Election","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-assault-weapon-ban-election","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/11\/02\/biden-assault-weapon-ban-election\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10828,"post_author":"988","post_date":"2020-10-20 11:12:55","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-20 15:12:55","post_content":"\n

Unbelievably, Biden\u2019s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris<\/a>, D-California, has even more nefarious plans for owners of semi-automatic rifles.

But it\u2019s not just Biden and Harris who have their eyes on firearms owned and safely used by millions of peaceful Americans. The 2020 Democrat Party platform says, \u201cDemocrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and \u2018red flag\u2019 laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden AR-15 Tax Plan Would Hit Gun Owners for Up to $3.6 Billion","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-ar-15-tax-plan","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:32:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/20\/biden-ar-15-tax-plan\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10836,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-10-19 11:55:04","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-19 15:55:04","post_content":"\n

Though it's getting little news coverage outside the 2A community, the issue of guns continues to shape the landscape of this presidential election. The specter of an ominous gun control platform hangs over the Biden-Harris ticket. And the Biden promise to clamp down on firearms is driving gun sales in a year where new gun ownership was already exploding like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Surge Potentially Reshapes Conversation on 2A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year has already seen gun sales grow in record numbers<\/a>. First a global pandemic put the country on edge when runs on supplies sent many first-time buyers out to gun stores. Then social unrest exploded into the streets, so more people raced to gun stores in droves. Now the most anti-gun ticket in this country's history attempts to gain control of the White House. And the American people are talking with gun purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Biden-Harris White House will attempt to ban modern sporting rifles. It will make it nearly impossible to own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. They will then turn to systematically eroding the protections for gun companies from frivolous lawsuits; that stroke will enable liberal lawyers to attack manufacturers and bleed them dry, a death of a thousand cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New regulations could easily be passed if a Biden win also coincides with the Democrats taking the Senate, since they already have the House,\" claimed a Reuters report. \"Fearing a likely clampdown, Americans have been rushing out to stock up on guns. Federal background checks, a proxy for firearm sales, surged to a record 28.8 million in just the first nine months of the year, topping the previous record of 28.4 million set last year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Sales Caps Insane 2020<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A global pandemic<\/a>, rioting in the streets<\/a>, calls to defund police and the most anti-gun campaign in American history<\/a> collide to create a new era in American gun buying. Blacks, liberals, women<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blacks, liberals and women have joined in as new buyers,\" Reuters reported. \"First-time buyers made up 40-percent of gun sales so far this year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Democratic Party, its national leadership, still wants to take your guns. And the American people, they'll be no more safer than before this massive gun control charade began. Instead, America will take a tone familiar in Chicago, where only the criminals carry guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shameless display of political grandstanding, Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden called for more gun control following the horrific ambush of two Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputies<\/a> in Compton. Specifically, Biden again called to ban \"assault weapons\" and \"high-capacity magazines.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biden Gun Control Comments Reveal Truth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tweet, sent less than 24 hours following the shooting, proves curious. Footage showed the lone gunman used a handgun, not a rifle or Modern Sporting Rifle of any kind, which continually face objection from gun control advocates. Certainly, no \"assault rifle,\" by any definition, shows up in that footage. Instead, the gunman used a handgun in his attempt to execute the two officers. And we can't be sure the gun would even violate California's strict magazine laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what does this all mean? Biden's Tweet stands as further proof in the lie that is the gun control argument. The Democratic hopeful pivots to party lines, to his own political agenda, rather than address any actual problems displayed in this incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains crystal clear Biden is absolutely coming for our guns. So don't let some narrative of common sense gun control or sensible gun laws distract you. A Biden-Harris administration<\/a> would ban entire classes of firearms. They would determine how many rounds you could carry. And they would forcibly take banned guns from those that don't comply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that's not enough, a Biden-Harris regime would go after the very industry itself. Gone would be the Lawful Protection in Arms Act<\/a>. Instead, the administration would lay the groundwork to systematically litigate gun companies right out of business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulate it. Ban it. Take it. Litigate it away. That's the playbook from Biden and Harris. That's what's at stake in this 2020 election<\/a>. The most anti-gun ticket in American history attempts to take control. So get out and vote. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Biden Pushes Gun Control Immediately Following Ambush of LA Officers","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-gun-control-la-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/16\/biden-gun-control-la-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11750,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-04-22 12:27:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-04-22 16:27:35","post_content":"The novel coronavirus and the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic changed the world. Rightly so, all walks of life shifted attention to stopping the spread of a deadly disease. But quietly, in the shadows, Joe Biden<\/a> continued his push for the White House, now becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee. And let there be no mistake, Biden's nomination definitively makes the 2020 race for the presidency all about guns<\/a>. This week he released \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic,\" which puts Joe's agenda right out in the open.\n\n[in_content post=\"123497\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n

Biden Launches 'Plan to End Gun Violence Epidemic'<\/h2>\nPart mantra, part money-generating machine, the Joe Biden website launched a page dedicated to his gun control initiatives. Of course, it wears a can't-miss donation tab across the top, soliciting donations from $5 to $500, or the coveted \"other\" amount in excess.\n\nBut when the panhandling ends, the nausea truly begins. Biden clearly wants to irrevocably wreck the Second Amendment. Highlights begin with destroying the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. This would open up gun companies to frivolous lawsuits, potentially bankrupting companies, and destroying thousands of American jobs in the process.\n\nJoe wants to completely ban the manufacture and sale of so-called \"assault weapons\" and high-capacity magazines. He wants to take what the Democrats did in 1994, make it widely more inclusive of more types of guns and magazines, and ban them all forever.\n

Assault Weapons & Much, Much More<\/h4>\nBiden also has a plan for existing assault weapons. They would be regulated by the NFA, essentially turning your AR-15 into the same classification as a machine gun. And then they're going to institute a buy back program. They're going to take our money to buy back our guns, that they of course never sold in the first place.\n\nFinally, background checks will become universal, in every way, for every gun transfer. Make that for whatever gun is actually left still legal to own. Loopholes, circumventing due process, establishing of task forces; you name it, and this plan includes a ban, prohibition or outright constitutional infringement.\n\nAnd a caveat: Biden would \"end the online sale of firearms and ammunitions.\" This would include all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits and gun parts.\n\nIn totality, \"The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic\" represents the most egregious collection of Second Amendment infringements ever touted by a presidential candidate. A vote for Biden is a vote for the obliteration of the Second Amendment as we know it.","post_title":"Biden's 'Plan to End Gun Violence' Includes Stopping Online Gun Sales","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biden-plan-to-end-gun-violence-epidemic","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-08 10:41:10","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-08 15:41:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/04\/22\/biden-plan-to-end-gun-violence-epidemic\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};
