Joe Biden Doubles Down, Pledges to ‘Defeat the NRA’

AWR Hawkins 10 Jan 2021

In a January 8, 2021, statement recognizing the tenth anniversary of the shooting that wounded Gabby Giffords, President-elect Joe Biden pledged to “defeat the NRA.”

Biden’s full statement recounted the January 8, 2011, attack, which killed six and left Giffords and others wounded, then transitioned to praising Giffords for the gun control work she undertook after the incident.

The statement concluded: “As President, I pledge to continue to work together with Congresswoman Giffords, and with survivors, families, and advocates across the country, to defeat the NRA and end the epidemic of gun violence in America.”

Biden campaigned for the presidency on a platform of defeating the NRA. In fact, when he released an overview of his gun control proposals, they included a reference to his opposition to the NRA.

On October 2, 2019, Newsweek reported the proposals, along with the corresponding statement from the Biden team, which said:

    Joe Biden has taken on the National Rifle Association (NRA) on the national stage and won—twice. In 1993, he shepherded through Congress the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, which established the background check system that has since kept more than 3 million firearms out of dangerous hands.

    In 1994, Biden—along with Senator Dianne Feinstein—secured the passage of 10-year bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. As president, Joe Biden will defeat the NRA again.

Lifetime member of the NRA, They have been doing a great job of screwing themselves over for the past several years with all of the internal fighting. I joined Gun owners of America, and the Virginia Citizens Defense league about a year and a half ago. Harry Reid says that the NRA is bad, but the GOA is worse. That was enough of an endorsement for me. GOA and is very active nationally and VCDL is very active in Virginia. I volunteer and work a lot of the local gun shows for VCDL.
