The whole "they'll take our guns!" fear mongering is the dumbest schtick around.
No fear mongering. Mr. Biden really does mean to try to violate the Second Amendment for no reason.
Heller is very strong on 2nd rights, so even if Biden got some crazy gun legislation through it'd be shredded. There really isn't much they can do to take your guns.
Unfortunately that isn't true. Mr. Biden plans to nominate judges and justices who will freely ignore Heller, just as past Democratic nominees have freely ignored the Second Amendment.
Maybe they can at most take 100-round magazines or whatever the biggest are.
If they appoint judges and justices who are willing to ignore Heller, progressives will be able to do much more than that.
But if anyone cries about that, it will only prove the lack of sincerity: that it isn't about self-defense at all for many, but rather, having cool toys.
The average citizen isn't Tony Montana
It is possible to see guns both as cool toys
and as tools for self defense (as well as tools for farming, hunting, and sport).
PS: Trump took your bump stocks. But because he did it, people went :shrug:
It wasn't because Mr. Trump did it. It was because bump stocks are not appropriate for self defense, and people can see that they are rather dangerous.
The NRA openly supported a ban on bump stocks before Mr. Trump did it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course Trump is anti-Second Amendment. Since he has been President, Trump has:
- Openly embraced Nancy Pelosi's gun-control agenda;
- Banned bump stocks via executive order;
- Pushed for illegal universal background checks; and
- Proposed expanding red flag laws on a national level.
Trump is so anti-Second Amendment he is willing to violate our other constitutionally protected rights, just like the anti-American filth in the Democrat Party, in order to illegally seize firearms.
The only one of those things that he has actually done is the ban on bump stocks.
It is hard to see how banning bump stocks violates Heller. They are not appropriate for self defense, and they are rather dangerous. The NRA openly supported the push to outlaw bump stocks.
Mr. Trump also signed legislation that outlawed Mr. Obama's plot to take people's guns by falsely accusing them of insanity.
Mr. Trump also appointed justices who vote to uphold Heller instead of voting to ignore it.

And Obama did nothing to take your guns away nor will Biden.
That is incorrect. Mr. Obama tried as hard as he could to violate the Second Amendment for no reason. He devoted the entire first hundred days of his second term to trying to do so. It didn't happen because the NRA defeated him and left his second term a legislative wasteland.
Mr. Biden will also try to violate the Second Amendment for no reason if he is elected. The NRA will defeat this attempt just like they defeated Mr. Obama.
Remember how the NRA claimed Obama was taking all your guns away - after he was elected there was a run on guns and ammo? So who benefited from the NRA making that claim?
The American people benefited because Mr. Obama was prevented from violating their rights.
Gun manufacturers who are the NRA's real client.
That is incorrect. The gun manufacturers are represented by the NSSF.
You guys are so easily fooled - thanks for proving my point.
Pointing out that "both Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden wish to violate the Second Amendment for no reason" is pointing out the truth.
What was done under the Obama/Biden administration to limit your access to guns?
Right. Nothing!
That is only because the NRA defeated Mr. Obama's attempts to violate the Second Amendment for no reason.
There was no lack of trying on Mr. Obama's part. He wrecked his second term trying to violate the Second Amendment for no reason.
His failed second term is the reason why the voters wanted a change and elected Mr. Trump in 2016.
No. You're an alarmist. No one's coming for your guns. Your guns are safe, like they've been for over 200 years.
That is incorrect. Just like Mr. Obama tried, Mr. Biden also plans to try to violate our Second Amendment rights for no reason.
