BLUF:
\nAs with any crime, and to be clear, willfully violating the Constitution is a criminal act. You have to look at motive, means and opportunity. Joe Biden has the motive to violate our rights and the means to do so. And although I believe it will happen sooner rather than later, unless fate or the 25th\u00a0Amendment intervene, for the next three long years he\u2019ll have opportunity for all the infringing he and Kamala desire.<\/p>\n
The Question On Gun Owners\u2019 Minds: What Will Joe Biden\u2019s Next Pivot Be?<\/a><\/p>\n The Biden-Harris administration is trapped inside a hostile media spotlight, a victim of their own incompetence. They\u2019re like a cornered animal \u2013 desperate for a way out, but clearly willing to settle for anything that would shift the public focus off of their ever-growing list of failures.<\/p>\n They\u2019re a consistent bunch, that much is true. They consistently lurch from one self-inflicted crisis to another, while we pay the price for their mistakes.<\/p>\n It began with Joe\u2019s unconditional surrender of Afghanistan and was followed by the Build Back Better bust and the deadly fiasco on our Southern border. Added quickly to the mix were skyrocketing inflation, lots of empty shelves, the Supremes embarrassing denouncement of a clearly unconstitutional vaccine mandate, COVID tests becoming unobtainium while omicron surged.<\/p>\n All the while, the filibuster remaining as strong as it was a year ago thanks to good Sens. Manchin and Sinema, and the fact that Russia is making ready to launch an invasion of the Ukraine, which could trigger a third world war, in which Joe Biden (!) would be the defender of the free world.<\/p>\n The Biden-Harris administration tried to get the focus off of its near-daily faux pas by uploading a Jan. 6-themed \u201cdemocracy is under threat\u201d speech onto Joe\u2019s teleprompter. The speech caught hold of the media\u2019s news cycle for about a day, but the respite didn\u2019t last long, despite hard-sell attempts by Pelosi et al.<\/p>\n Next, Joe tried pivoting to voting rights, but when voting rights advocates themselves boycotted his speech, his pivot lost its luster. The speech itself \u2013 \u201cDo you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?\u201d \u2013 was about as easy for most Americans to stomach as a fistful of ghost peppers. It was, in fact, more of a cry for help \u2013 another what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-Joe exemplar.<\/p>\n Now, what has me and some of my much smarter and more experienced friends losing sleep, is trying to fathom what Joe will try next. It is time, we fear, for Joe to pivot once again toward gun control, as he did right out of the box a year ago.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The pivot could take the shape of a new ATF rule \u2013 most likely his long-threatened attempt to move ARs, standard-capacity magazines or whatever else scares the anti-gun crowd, under the regulatory of the National Firearms Act which currently regulates machine guns, suppressors, short-barrel rifles and shotguns and other devices that give the gun-grabbers fits.<\/p>\n To be clear, such a move would be clearly unconstitutional, and the ATF certainly lacks the authority to impose such a rule. However, that hasn\u2019t stopped this crowd before.<\/p>\n Biden \u2014 or whoever else is really calling the shots \u2014 has shown they don\u2019t care about the constitution or the rule of law. If they did, the Supremes wouldn\u2019t have pulled down their drawers and given them a public spanking for trying to reinvent OSHA\u2019s authority with their vaccine mandate, which Biden\u2019s own chief of staff Ron Klain admitted was a \u201cworkaround\u201d of the United States Constitution.<\/p>\n The timing of such an anti-gun workaround couldn\u2019t be better for Joe. Within the past few weeks, Biden has lost the support of the mainstream media \u2013 the very folks who got him elected.<\/p>\n President Biden left Washington tonight to spend the weekend at home in Delaware. He probably couldn\u2019t wait to get out of town after one of the worst weeks of his year-old presidency. A series of setbacks from voting rights, the Supreme Court blocking his vaccine mandate for large businesses, and soaring inflation driving up prices for consumers. And today we saw the news that retail sales last month were awful. Plus omicron is still causing havoc, with staffing shortages and empty shelves, and some say Democrats are upset with the White House over testing shortages. I could go on. It\u2019s a bad week for the president. Is there any other way to cut it?<\/em><\/p>\n That\u2019s not a quote from Tucker, Sean or Laura.\u00a0CNN\u2019s own Don Lemon<\/a>\u00a0said it just days ago \u2013 the same Don Lemon who broke into actual tears the night Joe Biden was elected.<\/p>\n If Don\u2019s given up hope, Joe is truly lost. That\u2019s one of the reasons I suspect Joe will pivot to guns. It would land the mainstream media back in his camp, and the gun-ban industry \u2014 Gabby, Everytown and the Demanding Moms \u2014 would be ecstatic. They, too, had all but given up on Joe. They certainly wouldn\u2019t care about offending the Constitution or more than half of the country.<\/p>\n As with any crime, and to be clear, willfully violating the Constitution is a criminal act.
