6 First Gun Control Measures To Expect From A Biden Administration

If we have a Joe Biden administration in the White House on Jan. 20, we will have the most overtly anti-gun president in American history.

By Ryan Cleckner

If we have a Joe Biden administration in the White House on Jan. 20, we will have the most overtly anti-gun president in American history.

Biden’s plan lists effectively every gun control measure ever proposed: banning “assault weapons,” banning “high-capacity” magazines, limiting the number of guns an American can purchase, holding manufacturers liable for the criminal misuse of their products, and many, many more.

Out of the myriad options a Biden administration will have to infringe on our constitutional protections, which will they choose first? Based on my experience with clients and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (AFT) as a firearms attorney, some recent news events, and a bit of firearm-industry intuition, I think the first things a Biden administration will do regarding guns if given the chance are:

    Banning pistol braces
    Banning homemade firearms/80 percent receivers
    Banning online firearm and ammunition sales

Shortly after the first bans, and if he has the help of the Senate, the next gun control measures will likely be:

    Banning “assault weapons”
    Banning “high capacity” magazines
    Requiring universal background checks

Let’s examine each of these in turn.

Good thing this won't piss anyone off.

If Biden delivers on his "Beto threat", as admin of ATF, or Firearms Czar , don't be suprised to see the words "confiscation" filter into those measures.

No more of those "common sense gun safety" weasel words,just come right and and admit you want to confiscate firearms from everybody but you and your bodyguards,and be done with it.

Why? Get a 30/30,45/70,or maybe 45ACP, or 44 Magnum, and be done with it? Of course,if it were me,I would get a Marlin.

If you want a 5.56,get a Car-15 clone in semi-auto.

@sneakypete

I've already got my Glenfield 30-30.  I'm deadly accurate with it too.   But if I've got the Henry 5.56...to me it's a stealth AR of sorts and a way to give a finger to the gun grabbers banning anything that shoots an M-16 round.

@txradioguy

 OK,I'm just not a fan of the 5.56mm round. Can see it in something on an Armalite frame,but not with any other type of rifle. MIGHT be ok in a TC Contender with a 14 inch barrel,though.

@sneakypete Not a real fan when compared to other rounds...but like the 9mm it is the most common these days.  Henry also makes this particular lever action in .308 which is probably more akin to what you're used to back in the day with the M-14.

I just want to stick it to the gun grabbers any way I can for as long as I can.  I figure when most of these infant assholes see a lever action they see a "safe old grandpa's deer rifle" and not something that can and will deliver accurately the very round they despise.

[Elderberry]

With the scarcity of ammo, it may be better to choose a weapon according to ammo availability. 7.62x54R ammo is probably more available and Mosin Nagant rifle are usually available.

@txradioguy

Just how old do you think I am,anyhow?
,
BTW,while I was issued a M-14 in basic,I was issued a brand new Armalite AR-15 without the bolt forward assist when I got to Ft.Bragg in early 65. Only 7.62/308 stuff I fooled with after that was shot out of a M-60. I would have most likely carried a FN-FAL in 7.62 in VN if I could have found one,but had zero interest in carrying a M-14 or a BAR in the jungle. I did and do LOVE BAR's,though. I just don't love carrying them and their loaded magazines in 100 degree + weather.

I do LOVE,LOVE,LOVE FN-FAL's in .308,though! Especially those you could buy as a demilled "kit gun" back in the 80's for $200 bucks or less at times,depending on who was selling it and what version it was. I personally preferred the German version to the others,and at one time you could buy them for 200 bucks that included what looked like a brand new heavy MG barrel,cleaning kit,and some magazines. Buy a $150-200 semi-auto receiver,slap the two together,and you had a rifle that you would have to pay up to 2 grand for even back then.

The Israeli surplus were the ones you wanted to buy if you wanted a heavy barrel,because it seems like most of them were configured as squad automatic rifles.

I especially loved the adjustable gas system on the FAL's. I can shoot any kind of surplus 7.62 I can get my hands on and it will function 100 percent reliably regardless if it is a squib load,or surplus MG loads that would beat a normal rifle to death.

Think I was paying about 150 bucks for sealed battlepacks of a  thousand rounds back then,too. Military surplus from places like Israel,Argentina,and it was sealed and looked brand new. Hell,you couldn't even reload if it you already had the empty brass for what I was buying it for.

True,you had to make some adjustments on your sights for the different loads if you were shooting out to 500 yards or so,but that was no bid deal. Just make a note of what your sight setting are for each load/supplier,and you were golden the next time you bought some of that flavor.

I honestly don't even know if it is even possible to buy surplus 7.62 anymore,or what it costs. I am pretty sure all the surplus "parts guns" on the market back then were dumped in the ocean once Bubba Bill signed a law that stiffly restricted the importation of surplus military rifles into the US. The US was obviously the largest market for items like that

I just want to stick it to the gun grabbers any way I can for as long as I can.  I figure when most of these infant assholes see a lever action they see a "safe old grandpa's deer rifle" and not something that can and will deliver accurately the very round they despise.

I hear ya on that,plus I LOVE Marlin's. I have wanted a Marlin in 45-70 ever since they came out,but for some reason have never gotten around to buying one. Probably never will now. For some reason I seem to have lost all interest in shooting. Guess I just got burned out on it and then didn't have the time.

True,but you might want to consider adding the cost of a new stock with a rubber recoil pad. Recoil in those things is brutal with the factory stock and steel butt plate.

Add this one to the list: expanding the firearms import ban to include all countries.

And if that actually happens and word leaks out expect to see a sudden rush of firearms manufacturers who aren't in the U.S. already establish a U.S. arm of their company to get around that ban.

I think this is behind CZ trying to buy Colt. But that trend has been ongoing for awhile, Sig, Glock, Kalashnikov USA, etc. Plus we've seen several manufacturers offering AK variants made 100% in the US (Palmetto State Armory, Kalashnikov USA, etc.)

The other reason they set up US branches of their European manufacturing is that they want in on the military contracts and those contracts dictate that the firearms manufacturer have a U.S. headquarters.  That's how FN is able to make the SAW and Sig can make the M17/18.

About CZ-USA

Headquartered in Kansas City, KS since 1998, CZ-USA is an importer, manufacturer and distributor of pistols, rifles, shotguns and suppressors. The exclusive US importer of rifles and pistols from Česká zbrojovka a.s. Uherský Brod, (CZUB) of the Czech Republic, CZ-USA also designs and imports the CZ-USA Field Sports line of shotguns from Turkey. Fine 1911s and revolvers are made by subsidiary Dan Wesson and a growing line of CZ-USA suppressors is available for rimfire and centerfire firearms.

All this that we are experiencing has happened before, during the Russian, Chinese, Cuban, and Venezuelan revolutions, and was explained in the work of Andrew Lobaczweski in which he and his colleagues, in communist Poland, discovered that communist elite was composed, for the most part, of psychopathic individuals acting in a cooperative manner. In the same way that psychopathic individuals form drug gangs in big cities, psychopaths can  turn their attention to politics and acting cooperatively, taking power.  The result is what we're seeing now, and it's going to get a lot worse if people don't have access to this information. I made a text that explains Lobaczweski's findings and applies it to today. Visit the article and if possible share it. According to the author, the best way to block this psychopathic elite is informing the population.

Yeah,but I seem to have lost all interest in shooting,plus I have a ton of medical bills to pay that t,he VA is refusing to pay for various technical reasons,which means I have no money to spend on guns even if I wanted to buy them.

The latest is they are threatening to cut me off because I am refusing to make 500 mile + round trips that include an overnight motel room stay,just to get bandages changed.

Beyond doubt Dr. Fauci fits the criteria.

The administration of cheap and effective COVID treatments, which also have prophylactic value against the disease, could have provided temporary 'herd immunity' to stop the progress of the pandemic, while those exposed would acquire immunity without requiring, for the most part, so much as hospitaliztion, much less ICU treatments.

Instead, the course chosen has led to tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths, economic devastation (seldom noted by those whose salaries are guaranteed from the public coffers) and unaccountable misery for the general population. Furthermore, it has allowed the lesser psychopaths from city managers to Governors and beyond to exert their psychopathic control tendencies to the detriment of populations under that control, even while failing to control egregious mayhem, murder, and violence, indicating a multilevel cooperation of evil, ignoring or promulgating misery in a broad social spectrum.

Claiming that those in DC and elsewhere who have made seriously poor policy decisions are "crazy" might not be very far off the mark.

Thank you for posting that.

[Elderberry]

@Elderberry

And the Mauser's had a much better stock design. The Nagant is just brutal when it comes to "felt recoil".

I was at the rifle range and a young shooter on the bench next to me asked me to shoot his rifle. He had adjusted his scope and his shoulder just couldn't take it any more. So he asked me to shoot it and let him know what I thought of his scope adjustment. You won't guess what it was he was shooting. It was a lever action 30-30. Like so many of those rifles, this one was short stocked and I assume he hadn't yet learned to pull a rifle's stock tight into his shoulder. That was the only time I'd ever been asked to shoot a total stranger's gun like that.

[thackney]

I'm beginning to think it's a good time to add that Henry lever action rifle that shoots 5.56 rounds to the collection.

You may not want a hard sharp point on the round, laying against other rounds in a tube magazine.

And the Leverevolution ammo from Hornady is not available in 5.56.

FLEX TIP® TECHNOLOGY
The patented Flex Tip® technology of the FTX® and MonoFlex® bullets provide higher ballistic coefficients and velocity increases of up to 250 fps over traditional flat point loads while still providing shock-absorbing safety in tubular magazines.

If it's an actual John Marlin Era rifle and not one made since the Remington buy out of Marlin. Remington quality control is abysmal. Some time back I went looking for a Marlin 45-70. I looked at a number of "Marlingtons" and they were all messed up in some way. One of them even had a slot cut across the barrel - maybe 1/8 inch wide and deep - must have been a scrap barrel I guess. Unbelievable. I ended up buying a used one that was made before the buyout.

You can read about the experience the Marlin employees had after the buyout and understand why it's so bad.

I love my 1895 Marlin 45-70. I primarily shoot the 300gr Hornady HP in it. It has been shot so much between the owners before me and then me and my fellow hunters that it developed the dreaded "Marlin Jam".  I since repaired it and it shoots now good as new.

Y'all probably have never shot one so many times that it developed the "Marlin Jam". Easy to fix though.
