Gun Ownership Under a Biden Presidency

 

Joe Biden supporters like to say "He doesn't want to take your guns." Whether innocently or intentionally, those supporters are not paying attention.

In October Biden said he wants to do away with the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which could bankrupt the entire firearms industry.

The PLCAA, signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2005, prevents gun manufacturers from being sued by victims or victims' families if one of their products that is legally purchased and owned is somehow misused by someone, as in the commission of a crime or a child being accidentally shot

Biden has stated one of his priorities is to repeal this law, opening up avenues for people to sue gun manufacturers if someone is shot and/or killed by someone who uses the gun legally or illegally. He says no other manufacturer enjoys such protections. But when is the last time you heard about a car manufacturer being sued by someone because one of their vehicles was used during the commission of a crime?

These lawsuits would initially cause gun prices to skyrocket and eventually could bankrupt the manufacturers, which is Biden's intention.

Biden's Vice Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, and his selected Chief of Staff, Jennifer Dillon, have both stated the campaign's intention to initiate a mandatory buyback of "assault weapons," forcing Americans to sell such weapons to the government or register them with ATF. Biden has also stated his intention to tax owners who choose to keep the weapons $200 per weapon and $200 each per "high capacity magazine."

Biden's plans call for a complete ban on manufacture and sale of new assault weapons and high capacity magazines (the definitions of which will ultimately be decided by left-wing politicians) thus preventing many Americans from purchasing their weapon(s) of choice.

Depending on how it is defined, the ban on high capacity magazines could also effect the sale and ownership of some handguns. Many have magazines that hold more than seven or ten rounds and as such could be banned from manufacture and sale. Current owners of said handguns could also be forced to sell them to the government or be taxed exorbitantly in order to keep them.

Yes, he wants to take your guns. He and his cohorts are fairly blatant and open about it. And his followers who deny it are wearing blinders.
