Left Leaning Writer Recognizes Biden\u2019s gun control plan is terrible for working class firearm owners<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

A<\/span>s of late, I\u2019ve noticed many left-leaning gun owners tend to engage in willful ignorance or blissful naivety when it comes to the rather blatant in-congruent relationship they have with democrat politicians and guns.<\/p>\n

So when I came across an article titled, \u201cBiden\u2019s gun control plan is terrible for working class firearm owners\u201d<\/a>, I lazily assumed it was written by a right wing conservative who was making the point about Joe Biden\u2019s gun control plan that I\u2019ve been making about gun control in general for years.<\/p>\n

I was wrong<\/p>\n

Kim Kelly wrote the article. You don\u2019t have to know who Kim Kelly is to conclude that she\u2019s anything but a right-wing conservative; all you\u2019d have to do is make it to the latter half of the article or read her short author bio underneath the article image.<\/p>\n

All things considered,\u00a0even she recognizes that Joe Biden\u2019s gun plan negatively affects the people<\/strong>\u00a0who likely voted for him the most.<\/p>\n

She Writes:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cBiden did shake the table in a different way in 2019 when he debuted his gun control platform. Later that year, when he bumbled into a<\/em>\u00a0heated exchange<\/em><\/a>\u00a0with a Detroit factory worker, who accused him of trying to \u201ctake away our guns,\u201d right-wingers and gun rights groups gloated over the spectacle. But even now, after the world has changed several times over, it\u2019s still hard to shake the feeling that that worker was right.<\/em><\/p>\n

To the\u00a0<\/em>dismay<\/em><\/a>\u00a0of firearm enthusiasts on the left,\u00a0Biden is still coming for some people\u2019s guns. It\u2019s now just a matter of who\u2019s going to have them snatched \u2014 and who isn\u2019t.<\/strong>\u201c<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many liberal gun owners love telling non-liberal gun owners ( Not all gun owners are either left or right. There are many in the middle) that no one is trying to take your guns, so I\u2019m sure those last two paragraphs set off a whole lot of cognitive dissonance in a lot of liberal gun owners.<\/p>\n

Kim Continues:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAlongside a raft of more common-sense measures (and a confusing aside about \u201csmart gun technology\u201d), its centerpiece is a ban on the manufacture and sale of what are known as \u201cassault weapons,\u201d with a proposal to bring their regulation under the National Firearms Act.<\/em><\/p>\n

This 1934 law currently applies to \u201cmachine guns\u201d (i.e. fully automatic firearms), silencers and short-barreled rifles, but Biden\u2019s plan would extend it to apply to what he characterizes as\u00a0<\/em>\u201cassault weapons,\u201d<\/em><\/a>\u00a0meaning semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns with interchangeable magazines that fire intermediate cartridges (the most notorious of which is the AR-15 style semiautomatic rifle) as well as \u201chigh capacity magazines\u201d (generally understood under the 1994 bill to be those that can hold more than 10 bullets).<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIndividuals who already own these items would be required to participate in a federal buyback program or register each of their qualifying firearms and magazines under the NFA \u2014 which comes with a $200 price tag (on top of extra fees incurred during the registration process). When it was first enacted in 1934, that $200 fee was intended to be prohibitively expensive; now, inflation aside, it still is for many people.<\/em><\/p>\n

Given how costly some firearms can be, that registration fee may not sound like too much of an added burden, but for a person who has already bought and paid for multiple qualifying firearms and magazines (or inherited them), that amount will\u00a0<\/em>add up\u00a0<\/em><\/a>quickly. Those who violate the NFA will also face up to 10 years in federal prison, and a potential $10,000 fine. Biden also wants to end the online sale of firearms and ammunition, including gun parts and parts kits that some people use to manufacture their own low-cost<\/em>\u00a0DIY firearms\u00a0<\/em><\/a>(known as ghost guns) further limiting accessibility.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And there you have it clear as day, and it\u2019s nothing I haven\u2019t said for years. Hearing it come from someone who, based on her article\u2019s tone, is not only not a right wing conservative, I doubt she\u2019s even pro-gun in the traditional sense. If I had to guess, Kelly\u2019s critique of the Biden gun plan is nothing more than a conduit to push her identity-based ideology. How you may or may not feel about that is irrelevant because the facts are the facts, Joe Biden\u2019s gun control plan is elitist at best and downright predatory at worst.<\/p>\n

As her Articles goes on, her political bias becomes increasingly pronounced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cRegardless of one\u2019s opinion on guns and gun control, it is obvious that this proposal will disproportionately impact poor and working-class communities. Those within those communities who already own firearms would be\u00a0<\/em>robbed of their ability<\/em><\/a>\u00a0to protect themselves and their loved ones, while their wealthier counterparts would skate by on their ready piles of cash. Stephen Paddock perpetrated one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history and could afford dozens of high-powered weapons and a plush Las Vegas hotel suite; this plan would have no effect on someone like him. In effect, Biden\u2019s plan sets in motion a \u201cwar on guns,\u201d the same way his predecessors declared wars on \u201cpoverty,\u201d \u201ccrime\u201d and \u201cterror\u201d \u2014 wars in which it was inevitably black and brown people who were the real targets.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s clear Kelly\u2019s passion is social Justice, where mine is 2A Advocacy, but no one can ignore, especially liberal gun owners the reality of Joe Biden\u2019s gun control plan. And As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. That is until they become my enemy. I\u2019ve long said that guns should be A-Political, but to all fellow Liberal Gun owners, please stop saying no one is coming for your guns because it\u2019s blatantly intellectually dishonest at this point.<\/p>\n
