PRESIDENT BIDEN\u2019S REELECTION CAMPAIGN TARGETS GUN CONTROL<\/a><\/p>\n

President Joe Biden\u2019s campaign is waking from its slumber and vowing he will \u201cfinish the job\u201d on gun control as a central pillar of his pitch to stay in The White House for another four years.<\/p>\n

The Biden-Harris reelection campaign is circulating memos and reaching out to friendly media to make the case that President Biden will use a second term to usher in gun control\u2019s radical unconstitutional agenda. That includes banning America\u2019s most popular-selling centerfire rifle, the Modern Sporting Rifle (MSR). That also means defying the will of Congress. White House officials are playing up bipartisan efforts but are making it clear that they are willing to strike out unilaterally if Congress doesn\u2019t knuckle under to their demands.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president demonstrated that he can get things done, working across party lines when necessary, on our own where we can\u2019t,\u201d White House Deputy Chief of Staff Bruce Reed told\u00a0The Messenger<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Finish the Job\u2019<\/h4>\n

President Biden has already made clear he\u2019s not listening to American citizens when it comes to guns. An\u00a0NBC News national poll<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0indicated that the majority of Americans live in a gun-owning household for the first time. The Biden-Harris reelection campaign, though, will lean on the political favors they\u2019ve delivered for special interest gun control \u2013 specifically the\u00a0deep-pocket donors<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0who expect a return for their campaign donations.<\/p>\n

President Biden continuously calls for Congress to re-enact the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, which even the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\u00a0reported<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0had no effect on reducing crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho the hell needs an assault weapon that can hold, in some cases, up to 100 rounds?\u201d President Biden said just last month. This is the line of attack that he\u2019s coupled with veiled threats of using U.S. military force against its own citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you wanted or if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons,\u201d\u00a0he said<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in 2021.<\/p>\n

Weaponizing ATF<\/h4>\n

President Biden has made his attacks on the firearm industry central to his administration, starting with calling firearm manufacturers\u00a0\u201c<\/strong>the enemy<\/strong><\/a>\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0to most recently\u00a0halting U.S. firearm exports<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0without explanation. In between, he\u2019s pushed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to punish the firearm industry through a\u00a0\u201czero-tolerance<\/a>\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0policy that has seen a sharp increase of federal firearms licenses revoked or surrendered for minor clerical errors.<\/p>\n

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris\u00a0promised<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0they would use the ATF as a blunt force instrument to hammer the firearm industry \u2013 simply because they don\u2019t agree with Second Amendment rights. The ATF has published Final Rules \u2013 one to redefine\u00a0frames and receivers<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and another to\u00a0ban pistols with attached braces<\/strong><\/a>. Both have faced legal headwinds with various courts deciding that the ATF overreached its authority to write criminal law without Congressional input or approval. It is the responsibility of Congress to write law and for the Executive Branch to execute that law. Both Final Rules created criminal penalties without a vote in Congress.<\/p>\n

Most recently, ATF Director Steven Dettelbach\u00a0spoke to Harvard University<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0where he doubled back on a pledge to U.S. Senators that he would \u201cuse the tools Congress gives\u201d and instead advocated for increased gun control. He told the audience he agreed that the administration should pursue an MSR ban and also push for universal background checks. Both would be Constitutionally-specious. The U.S. Supreme Court held in\u00a0Heller<\/em>\u00a0that the U.S. Government cannot ban an entire class of firearms and in order for universal background checks to work, it would necessitate a national firearm registry. That\u2019s still forbidden by federal law.<\/p>\n

Scaring Voters<\/h4>\n

President Biden isn\u2019t just sharpening his attacks on the firearm industry. He\u2019s scaremongering voters too. His reelection campaign circulated a memo titled, \u201cTrump\u2019s America in 2025: More Guns, More Shootings, More Deaths.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA Donald Trump presidency will mean more guns in schools and more guns in the hands of criminals, all because he thinks being pro-gun makes him look tough,\u201d Biden campaign spokesperson Seth Schuster said in a statement, according to\u00a0The Hill<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cBut his refusal to stand up to the gun lobby to protect our kids makes him weak and a coward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Biden-Harris campaign counts it as a feather in their cap that they caved to gun control special-interest demands to create an\u00a0Office of Gun Violence Prevention<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that\u2019s stacked with gun control lobbyists. While they blame others challenging them for unsubstantiated claims that gun owners had carte-blanche access to the Oval Office, the Biden administration literally gave gun control lobbyists an office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on The White House grounds.<\/p>\n

Biden-Harris campaign staffers are scaring voters that the same protections they enjoy on those protected grounds would create chaos should similar protections be afforded to schools and private citizens. It just doesn\u2019t make sense. Criminals \u2013 especially violent criminals \u2013 have shown time and again that posting \u201cgun-free zone\u201d\u00a0signs doesn\u2019t deter crime<\/strong><\/a>. Meanwhile, investigations have shown that violent criminals\u00a0sought soft targets<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0where they knew they wouldn\u2019t be confronted by armed security or private citizens protecting themselves with firearms.<\/p>\n

President Biden\u2019s pledge to \u201cfinish the job\u201d means the end of Constitutional rights. The presidential election is less than a year away and the primary means of preventing these efforts is through the ballot box.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
