Gun Owners Rightly Concerned
About Biden's Proposals

Joe Biden and his media cheerleaders have declared his victory in the 2020 presidential election, and now tens of millions of law-abiding gun owners across the nation are more than a little nervous about his gun control plans, which the media carefully avoided discussing in the days leading up to the election, not even during the debates.

His so-called "Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic" covers lots of bases. AmmoLand News detailed his scheme back on Aug. 21, and it hasn't changed.

Still, Politifact has bent over backwards in an effort to downplay the threat, by insisting Biden has not called for a new tax on firearms as part of his proposal to regulate semiautomatic modern sporting rifles under the National Firearms Act. Under NFA, Politifact acknowledged Nov. 1, "He has proposed applying an existing federal law on machine guns to assault weapons — which can include semi-automatic firearms — and high-capacity magazines. That existing law includes a $200 tax. However, it's ultimately unclear whether that tax would apply to all semi-automatic firearms, if it would be charged per unit or if existing gun-owners would be charged anything at all."

Later in the statement, Politifact insists, "There's also a question of how a Biden administration would define "assault weapons" — and whether it would include all semi-automatic firearms, as the post says. A Biden campaign spokesperson told us that the precise definition of "assault weapon" would be worked out during the legislative process." ....
