President Joe Biden ran on being a “listener,†and bringing “unity†and “healing†to America. He’s not listening though. His tone-deaf call for increased gun control – including an “assault weapons†ban — comes in the midst of a record-breaking firearm and ammunition buying surge and record low public appetite for gun control.
Instead of listening to voters, President Biden ignored them and is calling to ban the AR-15, or modern sporting rifle (MSR), and in doing so he’ll infringe the constitutional rights of millions of Americans.
21 Million Background Checks and CountingLast year was historic for Americans buying firearms. They voted for the Second Amendment with their wallets at the gun retail counter. Of the more than 21 million background checks completed for a firearm sale, retailers estimated over 8.4 million were first-time buyers. That’s not slowing in 2021. Data shows modern sporting rifles (MSRs) continue to be America’s most popular-selling centerfire rifle.
Even before the buying surge, NSSF reported that over 20 million MSRs are in circulation, being used daily for lawful purposes. These are clearly commonly-owned firearms and their popularity is clearly growing.
