As President Joe Biden remembered third anniversary of the lives lost during the tragic Parkland High School shooting, he decided to slip in a demand for Congress to add some new gun control laws. Many believe the additional laws are an illegal attack on the Second Amendment.
In his statement to Congress, Biden wrote, “I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets.”
It’s not really a call for “unity” when nearly a third of Americans own a firearm in a nation where there are more guns than people. Instead of mourning the lives of victims and encouraging future safety in schools, Biden’s statement snuck in some political payback language. But based on recent firearm sales, it’s doubtful the nation’s voters would support his move.
In 2020, most firearm sellers experienced massive spikes in sales. The average gun owner struggled to find a store where they could buy ammo, while new potential gun buyers struggled to find a single firearm in stock at major retailers.
Yet last week Democrat Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (NY-12) joined gun safety advocates to introduce five new bills related to firearms. These include The Firearm Risk Protection Act that would require all gun purchasers to hold liability insurance and restrict retail gun sales without proof of coverage.
If passed, a gun buyer would have to show proof of gun liability insurance before buying a firearm. This is in addition to making sure to keep insurance current, similar to auto insurance. While this move would work out nicely for insurance companies, it would also add new expenses to gun buyers designed to further restrict Second Amendment rights.
And don’t forget the penalty for violating the newly-proposed act. Violators could face up to $10,000 for not insuring firearms. The strategy seems to be if you can’t legally take firearms from Americans, just litigate them into poverty until they can’t afford them.
While passing such measures would have been unlikely in recent years under a Trump veto and a Republican-led Senate, the scenario is much different now. The House and Senate are both under Democrat control, and any firearm measure that makes it through would certainly be signed by President the Biden.
Many patriotic Americans don’t support these actions, but feel helpless to stop the erosion of Second Amendment rights. What can be done? For now, make your voice heard through letters, messages, and calls to your Congress member and Senator, whether they are Republican or Democrat.
Second, 2022 is quickly approaching. The best way to change the situation long-term is new political leadership. Make sure to support Constitution-loving conservatives for the House and Senate for the midterm elections. If not, we may face even greater restrictions to our nation’s Second Amendment freedoms in the days ahead.
There is NOT any unity in Biden administration! Or should I say Obama third term? Or The illegal vice president first! Which should NEVER HAPPEN! BUT there are to many COWARD in the minority in the REPUBLICAN House who knows she NOT LEGAL TO BE HOLDING THE VICE PRESIDENT SEAT! NOT ANY BACKBONE in the REPUBLICAN Senate the last twenty years! Obama was ILLEGAL TO BE PRESIDENT! REPUBLICAN DOESN’T UNDERSTAND HOW THE CONSTITUTION LAWS WORKS! BIDEN IS GOING TO START EITHER A CIVIL WAR OR A WORLD WAR THREE!
You do understand there is two constitutions today? The one written by the Founding Fathers and the one the new one that is used by the supreme court. It is the one schumer promotes, crying precedence all the time. It is the one the justices found separation of church and state, abortion, and homo-marriage in. None of which is in ours.
Not the one w/freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, freedom of religion, the government exists by the consent of the people, etc. The one “We the People’ hold dear is ~7,000 words long, and the above one is 3,000+ Pages long and will get longer as time goes on. Needs proof, send your check for $130.00 to the Library of Congress and see what you get for your money. The 10 pound book! And yes it is 10#s!
what a useless POS I will never dis arm dream on old loon
There was a coup in this last election, by a cabal of organizations that linked together to cheat “We the People” and our President of his rightful place in office. They successfully stole our votes and the Office of the Presidency. The D.O.J., the F.B.I., and the judicial system refused to investigate the criminal activity, making them complicit in the crime. It appears they are a part of that cabal. (You can read about it in the “Times Magazine” article about saving the democracy by justifying the actions of the cabal.)
However, President George Washington defined government this way, “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence. It is force. And like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
Thomas Jefferson gave us an option, he stated, “the strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
I bet we’ll start seeing shootings all over now….thats what they do! They create crises to justify taking away the 2nd Amendment. Government is corrupt and behind many of the mass shootings….look into it…youll see.
As sick as it sounds, you are quite right. But keep in mind the fear of the government is that “We the People” would read and understand the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that protects “We the People” from tyranny in government. That, tyranny, is what all these unnecessary laws and regulations are. (Did you know there are 363,000 + laws and 753,000 + regulations on the books in the Library of Congress? God gave us the 10 Commandments, what is the purpose of all the rest?) Okay, some are necessary, but most are not.
Back to the Constitution, it is the chain about the neck of the government. It is held in the hands of “We the People”, but the pelosi and the rest prefer that “We the People” did not know that. They believe they have created several generations of ignorant people, that think the public servants are in charge of their lives. Not knowing that these public servants answer to We the People. The purpose of the government is for the service of the people and for the benefit of the people. Were they thinking of us when during the covid relief package, they gave us $600.00 and to the governments overseas, they gave billions of our tax money!!! They have consistently broken their “legally binding” oath of office and that is a betrayal of their duties in office! It supposed to be prison time for them, however, they hold themselves above the law.
The DNC is a criminal organization, they have the FBI in their pocket, and the mass murder for support to ban guns, it happened in Vegas, there were multiple shooters in Vegas and they know what they did! Well it’s going to come down to the fact that the people they killed weren’t armed, today is a new day, and WE THE PEOPLE won’t make that mistake again! The mass shootings that kill white country music fans, white high schools, the people aren’t stupid! You had people asking if that was the Republicans on the ball field, or Democrats, and the gunman got his answer, and went to shooting!
Democrats are trash, classless, hood-rats, and evil actions! The people are going to start shooting back you old son of a bitch, Quid-Pro-Joe!
Remember what George Washington stated,”The government is not reason, it is not eloquence. It is force. And like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
Thomas Jefferson stated, “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right ot keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
My opinion, for what it’s worth: Requiring the purchase of gun-owner liability insurance is akin to requiring people having to pay a poll tax in order to vote. The poll tax, invented by Democrats, was designed to suppress Black people from voting. They couldn’t afford to pay the tax. This insurance scheme will take money away from poor people so they cannot afford to purchase a firearm – therefore denying them of their Second Amendment Rights.
These criminals in our government want a unarmed society of servants to cater to them and thier needs . Time we the people show them we are in charge not them . They keep pushing and did not get the message on January 6th and called everybody a mob . They will see militias soon that remove them all from office if they keep it up .
I wonder how many criminals will be affected by the new proposals.
To all you whiners and sniveling complainers-many of you made this system by constantly electing these same losers to public office. All these corrupt political hacks in the senate and house suck up to the K street lobbyists and their so called leaders. Whether they are Rep or Dem these corrupt s…heads have been in officer 30 and 40 years and just know the pretty words and bs to say to get elected time after time and you all fall for it. If you want to do something about it go on line, get the website for TERM LIMITS and sign the petition and small contribution {$10) and get rid of these corrupt jerks. Representing a district in congress was never meant to be a career-2 terms and then go home and get a freeking job like the rest of us have to do. The president is limited to 2 terms why shouldn,t congress and supreme court and all federal judges be limited also.
There is no doubt that Biden is trying to tax firearms out of existence. But, what one must understand is that any insurance company that would insure firearms will want a separate policy for each and every one. They will also want to have the serial number of each firearm that they insure. Just like car insurance. So in essence, he is trying to pass a back door gun registration.
Biden can put his Gun Control Laws where it will do ME the most good!!!
Contact your State Reps and have them write Laws that says your State OPTS OUT of all Biden EOs
the democrats keeps infringing on We the People Constitutional Rights. Where is the Republicans with some back bone. Our constitutional rights should never be infringes upon. Biden and democrats are in violations of our rights. where the hell is the supreme courts or what use are they?
Have this moron read the Constitution – 2nd Ammendment shall not be abridged
BIDEN AND GANG, ARE ANTI-AMERICAN ALL THE WAY,POSSIBLY ON THE BORDERLINE OF BEING COMMIES. MOST OF HIS EXECUTIVE ORDERS ARE ILLEGAL, SO WHY DOES HE EXPECT THEM TO BE CARRIED OUT?
THE POLICE AGENCIES, AND THE MILITARY, TOOK AN OATH TO KEEP AMERICA FREE FROM HARM, THAT DOESN’T MEAN JUST THE LOUSY DEMONOKRATS. WHY IS PELOSI GETTING AWAY WITH SO MANY ANTI-AMERICAN ISSUES? WHY HASN’T THIS HAGGARD POOR EXCUSE FOR A WOMAN BEEN IMPEACHED/FINED INTO OBLIVION, AND IMPRISONED, SHE’S WORSE THAN HILLARY AND OBAMA, WELL CLOSE HILLARY AND OBAMA STILL ARE THE MAIN CUPLPRITS AGAINST THE USA. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPRISONED LONG AGO.
What congress needs is HEARING AIDS. They never listen to WE THE PEOPLE. Also a zipper, across their mouths. We are their employers, and they are our EMPLOYEES!!.
If you dont print this, I’m going to give you a suggestion. You could be next. Thats not a threat, thats a PROMISE!!
You Democrats always say that this is for saving peoples lives, well why legislate the deaths of helpless, innocent, babies? Why let illegals in without checking to see if they have Covid? We know when the Democrats are in power the mass shootings begin again! Why take guns from law abiding citizens who don’t kill people? Why not go into the worst parts of Chicago, and disarm the criminals who do shoot people? Where is the logic? Leave the killers with guns, take guns from law abiding citizens who obey the laws and do it correctly?
There is no logical answer, we know that you want to disarm legal gun owners so that we are vulnerable! You plan to put chips in everyone and other things, you can’t do those things when we are armed! We are t stupid, but Democrats are trash!
To all the senile joe and his whore voters. the time to stand up to be counted is fast approaching, and i really beleive that the ones that wanted a communistic, socialistic form of government are either going to help the true patriots of america or they will be silenced forever. America has to many true patriots to not take action and let these whiny cowardly, non want to working ignorant idiots try to overthrow this great country.This includes democrats, indepents,and republicans who are part of the do as i say, not as i do mob.I shall not give up my families freedoms, much less my weapons.I am not a violent man, but i am a vietnam wounded combat veteran, and i shall give my life before i let these so called educated idiots take the freedoms for myself and my family.If you do not like america get a ticket to somewhere else in the world(ONE WAY) .The communist socialist in the white house are keeping the armed forces in d.c. because thyey are scared and they should be because i do not beleive that the armed service men and women shall take arms to harm the american people. The oppiste, i think the armed servie members realize they are here to protect the american people and the consitution, not people that want to en slave the americans and silence our freedoms.SEMPER FI MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA and for those who do not like those words here are a few more to you(KISS MY AMERICAN ASS) GJC
Tell the Moron to read the Constitution -2nd Amendment shall not be abridged
DEMENTIA JOE BIDEN calls for common sense gun laws: Gun laws make no sense, on the subject of background checks they are already performed via ATF form 4473 and NICS :on the subject of ASSAULT WEAPONS anything used to assault another person automatically BECOMES an ASSAULT WEAPON. On the subject of HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES the ones DEMENTIA JOE is referring to are FACTORY STANDARD ISSUE MAGAZINES: REFERRING TO WEAPONS OF WAR DEMENTIA JOE WOULDN’T KNOW A WEAPON OF WAR IF HE WAS HIT IN THE ASS WITH ONE. The AR 15 or AR14 as DEMENTIA JOE CALLS THEM ARE NOT AN ASSAULT WEAPON OR A WEAPON OF WAR they are a SEMI AUTOMATIC SPORTING FIRE ARM. If DEMENTIA JOE ASKED ANY SOLDIER IN THE US MILITARY IF THEY WOULD GO TO BATTLE WITH AN AR15 OR AR14 THEY WOULD LAUGH IN HIS FACE. AN AR 15 COSMETICALLY LOOKS LIKE AN M16 or M4 THEY FUNCTION DIFFERENTLY AS THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF THREE ROUND BURST OR FULL AUTOMATIC FIRE.
This is where we see if folks will stand for FREEDOM. If people will make a show of unity and tell THE US GOVERNMENT NO ON THIS GUN CONTROL.
Don’t back down get some back bone.
It’s time the people stood up and
Just say HELL NO. YOU TAKE YOUR GUN BILL AND SHOVE IT.
First he turns our power gird over to china. Then he opens the boarder. Wants to make 22 illegals aliens legal and then take guns away from law abiding citizens. I guess ms13 will be the new Demorats bodyguards.
The only way they will take my 50 cal. Barrett is when they pry my cold dead hands from it!
