Biden: ‘Assault Weapons’ Will Be Banned if Democrats Pick Up 2 Senate Seats in November

AWR Hawkins 26 Aug 2022

At a rally Thursday night in Rockville, Maryland, Joe Biden said “assault weapons” will be banned if Democrats pick up two more Senate seats in November.

The Washington Post quoted Biden saying, “I want to be crystal clear about what’s on the ballot this year…Your right to choose is on the ballot this year. The Social Security you paid for from the time you had a job is on the ballot. The safety of our kids from gun violence is on the ballot.”

He later added, “If we elect two more senators, we keep the House … we’re going to get a lot of unfinished business done.”

Biden indicated that banning “assault weapons” is part of the Democrats’ unfinished business:

On October 17, 2020, Breitbart News reported that then-Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden proposed a gun control policy which included a provision requiring that every AR-15 rifle be registered under the National Firearms Act of 1934. Unless there were some form of carve-out, this could mandate that American gun owners pay a $200 federal tax for each AR-15 they own.

At that time, the National Rifle Association’s Andrew Arulanandam told Breitbart News that the “low end” estimate of privately-owned AR-15s in the United States was 18 million. A tax of $200 on 18 million AR-15s meant gun owners could have potentially been required to pay a collective $3.6 billion in taxes, had the Democrats secured the legislation.

On July 21, 2o22, Breitbart News pointed to National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) numbers showing there are more AR/AK-style firearms in circulation “than Ford F-Series trucks on the road.”

An NSSF press release sent to Breitbart News indicated the estimated number of AR/AK-Style firearms in circulation is 24,446,000.

If they try to ban assault rifles they will be going against SCOTUS rulings.

[Fishrrman]

Clouds floated over then rained on us with:
"If they try to ban assault rifles they will be going against SCOTUS rulings."

Huh?
Standard AR-15 style "assault rifles" are ALREADY BANNED in states like New York, Connecticut, I believe in Massachusetts as well.

Seems like no successful lawsuit has been promulgated to undo THESE laws. At least, not yet.

There are a few lawsuits that have been sent back down to lower courts since Bruen. It's looking like assault weapons bans will be overturned. Nadler also messed up when he admitted they are trying to ban weapons in common use.

I want to see a law passed that bans ANY agent of a state or the feral gooberment from possessing or carrying any weapon on duty that is illegal for Homer Homeowner to carry or possess.

Including Presidential bodyguards as well as ANY and ALL bodyguards that work for any private agencies.

The entire idea of the 2nd Amendment was to preserve the right of the citizenry to retain parity with the government's basic arms, although there were no limits placed on that right. The idea of a two-tiered RKBA of government vs citizen is in direct contravention to the fundamental concept.

A free citizen's right to armed self-defense, appropriate to and commensurate with the threat, must never be negotiable nor subject to the whims of rulers, nor to the changeable winds of electoral politics.

Otherwise, as a matter of history: the citizenry is no longer truly free, and serfdom and worse always follows.

Joe Biden and his ilk will NEVER take my guns away from me. Ever. Until I am dead.

Clear enough?

ROFL!  Stupid SOB says he wants to BAN "assault" weapons, and then calls ME a Fascist!   

[christian]

People have been glad to buy into Bidens delicious lies since the Biden/Trump election, and i see little slowing of that effect.  The democrats have relentlessly attacking American peoples rights to own arms, yet people vote democrat knowing that doing so endangers their rights to own guns.  How can stupid be remedied?  Biden assumes the Presidency and gun owners finally decide to open their closed eyes and bawl openly?  A fool and his freedoms are standing on shifting sand.

[cato potatoe]

If they're going to issue a bunch of threats, now is the preferred time for that.

Really Really stupid SOB if he thinks only White supremacist Bible thumping MAGA conservatives own or want to own AR-15 (won't stop there) style semi autos. Brandon is stirring up a shit storm against his party among to those plantation Blacks and Hispanics, especially those Hispanics that have escaped actual fascist regimes that didn't allow them to have a gun to defend themselves. I'd call Biden a moron but that would be insulting morons.

I think Massachsuetts allows AR-15's, but you have to be 21 to purchase and the maximum magazine size is 10 rounds.  A former co-worker of mine owns one.

The 1990s assault weapons ban did not prevent Columbine.

How many assault weapons did Obama's Operation Fast And Furious put on the streets?

Psychologically damaged young adults will find other means to inflict violence.

He may have bought it a while back.

On the basis of that, it looks like you can't buy an AR-15 or similar rifle in Massachusetts. At least, not any more.

Neither Connecticut or New York permit such sales.

There's supposedly a "twisted pretzel" AR-15 that remains "legal" for sale in New York state, but even the magazine is bolted in place and non-removable (at least not without illegal modifications). But a "real" AR-15 (like all the others)? No.

Again I'll repeat for Killer Clouds:
There has been NO SUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE to the above state laws yet.

Makes me wonder...
Why not...?

You're are correct right now but there are challenges that have been sent back down to lower courts by SCOTUS since Bruen. There are actually quite a few 2A laws being challenged throughout the US that are affected by the Bruen decision.
