Itâs a well-known fact that most Democrats have an irrational fear and visceral hatred for guns, and they will use any means necessary to limit Americansâ constitutional rights to have them. They are determined to pass gun control while they have complete power.
Gun grabbing Democrats ready to make their move
With this in mind, it makes perfect sense that President Joe Biden would use executive orders to limit Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms â a radical agenda euphemistically described as âcommonsense gun law reforms.â
In a media briefing Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki fielded a question from a reporter about the presidentâs proposal he strategically included in a statement Sunday commemorating the third anniversary of the Parkland school shooting.
Reluctant to miss an opportunity to stand on the graves of dead children and pontificate, Biden pulled at the heartstrings in his statement before delivering the final gut punch to the Second Amendment, promising that he âwill not wait for the next mass shooting to heed that callâ to protect students by disarming them.
âWe will take action to end our epidemic of gun violence and make our schools and communities safer,â Biden said.
âToday, I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets,â he added.
âWe owe it to all those weâve lost and to all those left behind to grieve to make a change. The time to act is now.â
It was this call to action that prompted the reporter to ask Psaki about Bidenâs âtimetable for action on what the president calls âcommonsense measures,â and whatâs the realistic hope that you have this will pass both houses.â
âWell, we havenât proposed a package at this point, so itâs hard for me to make a prediction about its likelihood of passing,â Psaki characteristically deflected.
âBut I will say that the president is somebody throughout his career who has advocated for smart gun safety measures,â she continued.
âHe is not afraid of standing up to the NRA. Heâs done it multiple times and won on background checks and a range of issues, and it is a priority to him on a personal level,â Psaki said before reiterating that there was no specific legislative package in the works.
Later, another reporter pressed further about whether Biden would âtake executive actionâ if he couldnât achieve his gun ban through legislation.
Psaki responded that Biden has a ârange of actions at his disposalâ including both legislation and executive fiat and âhasnât ruled out either of those options.â
Judging from the way Biden dashed off 50 executive orders in about half as many days in office â clearly a tool heâs fond of using â coupled with his persistent crusade against guns, it doesnât seem far-fetched that he would try the same for his unpopular gun legislation.
Americans will never be disarmed
In the past, both Biden and Vice President Harris have repeatedly expressed their desire to ban certain types of scary-looking semi-automatic âassaultâ weapons, limit magazine capacity and impose other useless restrictions like universal background checks â measures Biden called for on Sunday but which would have done nothing to stop the shooting he was using as his platform for such proposals.
Until now, gun control is one issue that Republicans have consistently and successfully pushed back against.
However, it is possible that the Democratsâ majority in the House of Representatives and Harrisâ tiebreaking vote in the Senate would allow such legislation to sail through.
Thatâs just a pesky formality to a president whose default method seems to be signing papers to unilaterally achieve whatâs unpopular, acting more like an emperor than a democratically elected official.
While there is hope in the safeguard of the U.S. Supreme Court regardless of the avenue Biden ultimately chooses, that may also be cut off if the Democratic Senate ends up packing the court to erase the current majority.
The Biden administration is steamrolling ahead with its leftist agenda regardless of legislative support, and thereâs no reason to believe it wouldnât do the same when it comes to stripping Americans of their Second Amendment rights.
