Gun Rights
Dems to Push For Gun Control Bills Vote In 2 Weeks
Reportedly, the Biden administration wants to schedule a controversial vote on gun control bills within the next few weeks. The moves come after President Joe Biden called on Congress to crack down on Second Amendment rights.

Reviving Gun Control Bills
A Punchbowl News report said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other House Democrats, after passing the American Rescue Plan, will now turn their attention to other items on their agenda. In particular, This includes drafting laws to tighten gun control. Additionally, Democrats will “push through as much legislation as they can” within the next two weeks.
Some of the reported legislation includes reviving HR 8 of 2019, or the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019. Specifically, HR 8 aims to use the current US background checks process to prevent individuals prohibited from gun possession from obtaining firearms. Another bill proposes to close the so-called “Charleston Loophole,” which allows gun purchases to continue within three days even with an incomplete background check. In fact, both bills passed the House during the previous Congress. However, the Republican-majority Senate managed to block the bills from passing.
NRA Tweets Warning
The National Rifle Association tweeted a warning on March 2. The group warned gun advocates of Biden’s “extreme gun control” agenda. Additionally, they said that moves to push it will surface in Congress within the next few weeks. “Sources in DC report that Congress will be voting on Biden’s extreme gun control legislation as early as next week. Possible that they will bypass the committee process. Stay tuned, NRA members,” the NRA tweeted.
Previously, Biden wrote Congress urging to pass more gun control bills. “I am calling on Congress to enact common-sense 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,” he wrote.
Drastic Measures
The Daily Wire reported that some of Biden’s proposals remain unclear. The call to ban assault weapons likely referred to semiautomatic weapons. However, semi-automatics remain legal for civilian use. The proposal isn't clear if current semiautomatic weapon owners can keep their guns. If not, this law would turn into a gun confiscation program.
In addition, Biden called on Congress to hold gun manufacturers liable. He said manufacturers who ‘knowingly put weapons of war on our streets’ are liable. The term “weapons of war” is unclear. In fact, civilian firearms do not have access to weapons that the military uses. US gun manufacturers can only sell semi-automatic firearms to civilians. Also, the proposal looks to bankrupt manufacturers. Actually, the proliferation of guns in the streets is likely a matter of criminal activity.
No Limit on Limiting The Second Amendment
“There is seemingly little limit to what Biden wants to target when it comes to the Second Amendment, ranging from taxing gun owners, banning magazines ‘that can hold multiple bullets in them,’ offering ‘no compromise‘ on the issue and making other incoherent remarks like claiming that a ‘rational policy‘ on guns is making sure you cannot have 20, 30, 40, 50 clips in a weapon,'” The Daily Wire reported. “While on the campaign trail, Biden said that far-left gun control activist Beto O’Rourke was going to be the one who leads this effort’ for the Biden administration. O’Rourke has called for confiscating firearms from Americans,” it added.
Meanwhile, Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that Biden is open to use other methods. The administration looks to bypass Congress and instead issue executive orders.
Four Prong Attack Against Firearms Ownership
Alan Gottlieb, the founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, said in a recent interview that Biden launched a “four-prong attack against firearms ownership” that targets the entire country. This attack does not include the executive orders Biden reportedly considers to issue.
“One is universal background check is really a universal registration system. Second is banning assault weapons and then defining assault weapons as almost any semi-automatic firearm. Third is banning magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, you know, again, hurts people twice for self-defense in our country, and then attacking the firearms industry so that any criminal that goes out and misuses a gun, the gun manufacturer can be sued for it, it’s going to put the industry out of business and nobody can buy a gun,” Gottlieb says.

More gun laws will not stop violence. Criminals will always have weapons. Law abiding citizens are not responsible for gun crimes. There are millions of us! It is our right to defend ourselves if we are attacked by a criminal. Leave us alone and enforce the laws already on the books.
You can’t control a right. Government has no power to infringe on constitutional rights.
keep your damn dirty hands off , shourly there is more importand thing to do
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
This makes me sick. When will our country grow a pair and strip these people of their positions, try them for treason and let them spend the rest of their lives in Russia or China since that’s clearly what they want. The entire left needs to be held accountable, and sadly some on the right as well!!
“ WE THE PEOPLE” have we forgotten that WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT?! When will we stop allowing g this to happen. If we take a note from the left it’s time we stand up and create a new government. The only Reason people like Biden and pelosi are in there position is because we allow them to be. It’s time to end this. Let’s restart and take back control of our country. Starting with pulling these buffoons out of office.
Will the criminals and millionaire has to fallow through with it je jeje
Impeach them all clean the swamp
There’s enough laws. His administration only want guns out of the hands of civilian law abiding citizens. The lawless will never give up theirs which will leave the rest of us defenseless. Biden and Harris don’t care. They have 24/7 security for the rest of their lives.
Besides immigration, another Biden big mistake in his thinking. If all this is happening in just one month in office, what’s going to happen given 4 years?? Hate to think. Robert Messner….You are so right ….this had better not happen!
A “common sense law”. Y’all will stoop to any level. Common sense is what you lack if your plan is to destroy our rights.
It’s crooked Biden and Horse Face Hairass that think they can rule every one so how about a hole lot of f..k you democrats…………
The thing is us legal gun owners have common sense. We use them as intended. To take away a weapon that our own president’s security is armed with is hypocrisy. Wake up, if we don’t have the same tools as the people attacking us it’s just a legal slaughter for our “government”.
You figured out a way to charge the American people for the last free element with no action on the attack. Now. that I have to pay for air (which that’s what we are doing in a fashion that makes us look the other way or out of fear) they think they have weakened us.
TRY TO TAKE THEM –
“From my cold, dead, fingers. (Charlton Heston) I AM THE NRA.
I am absolutely against any sort of ban on guns that goes any further from what we have now.
What we need is an underground pipeline for guns and Ammo, particularly Ammo. I’m also betting we can get enough signatures on Red Flag petitions, to have guns confiscated from 75% of todays Washington Bureaucrats, particularly Joe Biden. Anyone that thinks he safe with a gun is a head case and he is also not qualified to judge the needs of others, regardless of subject matter.
Those whom the G-Ds would destroy, they first drive mad. I had never believed that I would see the day where a “progressive” agenda would propel a government to negate our ability to defend ourselves from harm.
“Assault” weapons are not used in most gun related crimes. Rural Americans in large part handle semi automatic firearms in a non criminal and responsible manner. Most gun crime is in our inner cities and committed with handguns. Removing firearms or severely curtailing the rights of good people in those communities , effectively limits their ability to stay safe from the bad guys.!
Moreover, holding gun manufacturers responsible for misuse of their product is like holding GMC et alli responsible for bad driving causing accidents and death .
We need the Supreme Court to do their job and protect our Constitution. These Democrats and shredding our Constitution and not serving America as they have sworn to do. They need to be impeached and substituted with someone to would Serve America and keep America first.
They are keeping our Capital fenced off to protect them from America as they turn us over to China and The one World Government. m
Can we Impeach the Supreme Court???? They are our only hope of saving America. They need to stop this Treason the Democrats are imposing on us. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS ARE TRUE PRESIDENT DONALD J.TRUMP.
THE 2ND SAYS WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BARE ARMS AND SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED! WHO THE HELL TO THESE BASTARDS THINK THEY ARE? I AM TELLING THIS AGAIN AS I SAID WHEN CROOKED BIDEN AND WHORE HARRIS GOT IN–TOUCH THE 2ND AND YOU WILL HAVE AN ARMED REVOLUTION OVER NIGHT. YES IMPEACH THE WHOLE DAMNED CROWD AND TAKE BACK AMERICA!! LETS GET TUFF WITH THESE SHIT
EATING COMMIE GARBAGE.
THANK YOU JUDGE JUDY~ YOU ARE My Voice on this matter about taking away OUR 2nd Amendment Rights ~ NOT GOING TO TAKE MINE either !! I shall NEVER Give Them Up ~ As a combat Veteran, I won’t ever hurt anyone who absolutely does not deserve it, but to repeat an old Quote,,,,,,,, Don’t Tread On ME !!
The paranoia displayed here is frightening. The lack of stricter regulation and consequence is the very reason that ne’er-do-wells have such easy access to guns! However many millions of gun owners there are, there are multiples more that don’t and these hot headed takes given by those of you claiming to be responsible don’t ease anyone’s nerves. Guns only kill, they don’t save lives.
Just another way for the dems to become the dictators they want to be. This lunacy could provoke a revaluation in this country which would give China and others the opportunity to take over our USA. There is no amount of POWER and MONEY that would satisfy these people. One day they will stand before our creator and give account for their actions.
I have said on many platforms that although I will not go looking for a fight, I will not comply. If a law enforcement entity decides to enforce this unconstitutional law (of any sort) we WILL have court on the street. Hopefully, they will see it as plain as the rest of those who abide by the Constitution and the oath they took to defend said Constitution, and actually make it home–like they intend to, everyday.
Love it. They can keep their hands off of my guns too. All they want to do is take ours and give to the criminals. Not mine.
@JAMES….how does God take such a inorganic person and put him on god’s green earth…one has to wonder! What isfrightening is what you just posted. Grow a pair!
Look! We all know this has NOTHING to do with stopping crime. It’s all about disarming We the People so they can do whatever they have in mind in their evil agenda. Every country where tyranny has taken place the first thing that they do is disarm the public. If they want the SHTF then keep up their Gestapo tactics. We’re ready! Live free or die! MOLON LABE!!!!
They will just create more crime because we will all be criminals and I am telling you have the constitutional right to protect my family against anyone who wants to harm them including the government that’s why they want our guns. The can say it is to stop violence but it is too take our rights away from protecting ourselves against them.
When will the socialist learn to stop fooling with our Constitution!!!
When you live where I do, sometimes we need “weapons of war” to protect our flocks against the predators that are so prevalent around here. When the stupid government banned compound 1080, they made high capacity clips necessary!
@James: You would be wise to work in a Texas prison for a year and then you would be able to correct
your most profound ignorance of the working mind of career criminals. They freely admit that only
a victim with a firearm and who is willing to use it will deter them. Or you with your family can walk the downtown streets of any city and discover for yourself the vicious and distorted criminal predator mindset.
The Left isn’t really concerned with gun violence or they would crack down on the gangs in all of the large Cities, as they are responsible for the vast majority of gun violence. The truth is they want to move to a one Party Totalitarian Government and it is not conducive to have millions of armed citizens capable of fighting back.
@JAMES…it’s called the 1st and 2nd amendment! READ IT… YOU just might learn something about being or living in this country. Guns don’t kill, people do. People also have there god given right to say what is in there thoughts, just like you have with you uneducated statement, that guns only kill and you can’t believe so many paranoia statements. Come back and let us know what you have learned, after reading the 1st and 2nd amendments. Have a safe day!
@anonymous: So, I should visit one of the highest crime rated states, with the most registered gun owners, visit their prisons to see how calculating and aware their criminals are and somehow take from that experience that people having loosely regulated guns is somehow beneficial??!! Texas continues to show itself as a poor example for gun rights, energy, capitalism, and social responsibility. You would do better to pick somewhere else if you wish to prove your point, you are the delusional one fantasizing about being a white hat cowboy.
@JAMES… doesn’t sound like you READ the the 2nd amendment, although you got the 1st one down pretty good! Your cancel culture liberal agenda won’t work here. YES, I agree with the Texas statement. At least they have the education to make such a conclusion. YOU, just seem to give advice on your own delusional, inorganic uneducated comments here. Better yet, go visit a 3rd world country!!!!
It is people like James who allowed the Nazis to take over Germany. He probably thinks Hitler deserved to be “Time’s Man of the Year.” Poor James.
Sorry James, but the data proves otherwise. Guns do save lives, unfortunately for democrats, it sometimws takes the lives of criminals and they hate that. See, that’s why out of one corner of their mouth they say its to protect our children from a mass shooting which has happened so few times its not even worth discussing. They also let out violent gun offending criminals from prison.Do some research and try to find even ONE example of how taking guns from a whole society did something other than create a thriving black market or set up a society to be controlled by a communist dictator. Ask the Jews from the holocaust what the first thing Hitler did. I bet you think allowing abortion is about “womens rights” and not theat they make billions a year from murdering babies. Ask Bootykiggle, he’s even good with killing them post birth, you know, just induce a heart attack or something.
Where are the consistently higher murder rates? Where are the consistently high crimes involving a firearm? Where does the vast majority of mass shootings occur? Where does the most gang violence occur? If you said in states and cities with the most restrictive gun laws, you would be 100% correct! So obviously, President Biden and Democrats want more murders, more crime. more mass shootings, and more gang violence. Democrats will do anything for a headline. including sacrificing the lives and property of law-abiding citizens.
I am not in favour of an episode like January 6. But if the president and congress changes our gun rights for the millions of law abiding citizens, there will be an uprising that will make Jan 6 look like an ice cream social. Biden and congress should take this into consideration. I am in no way in support violence but I have no control over what will happen.
I knew that this was going to happen if they got in the White house. It’s always been about this and the lies he said to get elected are being shown. She was always going to do this so that is no surprise. Shame on all of you for attacking our second amendment the very thing that you blamed Trump for.
The strictest gun laws are in the areas (Chicago) that have the highest number of shootings and deaths.
Gun laws will not stop those who break the law when they want. They could care less about laws. Those of us who are law-abiding citizens do not need any more laws. We aren’t doing anything wrong. If anything, we are needed to help protect the U.S. way of life.
2 times a gun has saved my life and my family. So James you have no clue what your talking about, but you go ahead and give up yours. I’ll keep mine !
THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX ISSUE AT THE HEART OF IT IS NOT SO MUCH ABOUT THE USE OF GUN’S BUT THE PEOPLE THAT USE THEM. I’M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT SOCIETY’S STEADY MOVE AWAY FROM US AND TOO AN INDIVIDUAL’S BELIEF IN ME. PEOPLE WHO DO BAD THING’S ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO BAD THING’S NO MATTER HOW MANY LAW’S YOU PASS AND HOW MANY GUN’S YOU TAKE AWAY OR DON’T TAKE AWAY.WHAT’S THE ANSWER TO ALL THESE COMLEX ISSUE’S I HAVE NO IDEA BUT IN MY 40+ YEARS AS AN EMPLOYER IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND ALSO AS A COACH IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM THE CHANGE’S I’VE SEEN IN OUR CHILDREN AND PARENT’S LEAD’S ME TO ONE THING FOR SURE WE NEED TO AS A SOCIETY GET BACK TO US.
Criminals don’t follow laws! They pursue and obtain weapons illegally. Laws do not stop them and never have. Law abiding citizens are not responsible for gun crimes. There are millions of us! It is our right under the 2nd Amendment to own and possess guns. We have the right to defend ourselves and family if we are attacked. The attempt to DISREGARD the 2nd Amendment and pursue other INFRINGEMENTS on our rights is the real CRIME!
The supreme court is part of the blame of what happened to the capital on the sixth because they didn’t let the evidence to be heard.. that’s all the people want it was to be heard and their leaving the fence up around the capital because they know Biden and the Democrats are gonna cause a whole lot more problems and gun laws .,that’s only the beginning. Can’t wait for the black market real
full-auto assault weapons just waiting to open up its already here hidden. ATF only found a few and that’s only the tip of the iceberg .Biden thinks he’s stopping semi/autos … tough talking Biden is a joke . The fool doesn’t know which end is up half the time on TV…. put up the fence around the capital, take down down the fence around the border a Bide Joke….lol
How can one selectively categorize any one specific item or items as an assault weapon? Basically anything in a persons hands can be used as an assault weapon if they so desire. There were many items and tools used as assault weapons or weapons for protection before any type of gun was ever invented, including our bare hands. Are they going to try to take all of them away? If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk and spoons make people fat.
Hey James, you’re right guns kill, as do hammers, knives, rocks, cars, poison, spears, swords just about everything does and can. People have been killing one another since the beginning of time. And they will continue to. Hell, even the ice man Otzi was murdered. Let’s get rid of all of those too! How about the Jonestown murders, not one gun used! Look at NJ, Il, CA, MI MD some of the strictest (illegal) gun laws in the country. Also the highest level of crime/gun violence in the country. 2 of them alternating for the esteemed award of murder capitol of the country! Just so you know guns are collectibles, and also used in sport for competition
Only paper is being killed. I k ow tragic right! What you don’t hear is all of the people that havent killed anyone with a gun today! You know what that number is? It’s in the millions! Pretty damn impressive number!! When JFK was murdered no one blamed the rifle?! The NRA killed 0 people this year and received $0. planned parenthood will kill 350,000 and will receive $500,000,000 this year!
I guess Texas needs to Become the Republicans of Texas again time for a vote let Biden live in socialism
Democrats are fully aware … “If you wish to enslave a man, you must first disarm him.”
Our President as well as all elected officials are bound by our national constitution. If any of these do not follow these rules then they should be band from any political office for life. That means Biden and all his cabinet need to follow the rules of our constitution or be thrown out of office immediately.
WE NOW NEED TO UNITE AND TAKE OUT THE TRASH. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT THEY ARE HAVING TROUBLES TAKING OUR GUNS? BUT ITS HARD TO FIND AMMO!
When the government says you don’t need a gun, you need a gun. If I remember history correctly. Hitler and his cronies confiscated guns prior to dictating what you can and cannot do.
Judge Jeanine gave a wonderful speech God bless you…..we need more like her to put the fire and brimstone up these Democrat asses….. remember whether you have one gun or 10 it’s best to have a gun and not need it then need a gun and not have one !!!
How many of the people wanting to take away our right have used or fired a gun(weapon) or served in the military ? Social/communist always want to remove our protection from criminals. Yes I know about the police, but they are 5or15 minutes away so I guess i Get Stabbed Or shot by Someone who only wants what they want. They will always have a gun or knife for their own purposes.
How difficult is it to understand the meaning of this statement…
“WHEN GUNS ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE GUNS.”
They need to work on getting the thieves that steal and rob people I had 2 friends that was murdered by someone that had already killed someone and got out in 3 year’s to pick up where they were before I know someone who has a mental disorder picked up for rape of minors no timed served has a pistol made threats I have told the sheriff on more than 1 occasions the pistol is stolen but people like him are the reason others die but the rest of us get blamed for having guns now day’s I will protect my family however I have to and will not hesitate about it.
Leave our guns alone. Law abiding citizens PAY BIG MONEY IN FEES to own guns. go after the criminals. leave us alone.
WELL HERE IS MY 2 CENTS WORTH !! WE HAVE RIGHT TO BARE ARMS !!! THE REASON THEY HAVE THE US ARMY IS BECAUSE THEY WANT PROTECTION FROM THE CITIZENS WHO MIGHT REALY STOM THE CAPTIAL WHEN THEY COME FOR THE GUNS! FOLKS I WILL YOU A MYSTERY FROM THE WONDERFIL WORD OF GOD ! THIS THING THAT IS HAPPENING TO US PATRIOTS WAS ALREADY SEEN BY GOD AND HAD HIS PROPHETS OF OLD FORTELL HIS HAPPENING IN THIS NATION .

I’m so sick in tired of the leftest & fake news. The Republicans won’t won’t back down. The 2nd amendments not going away. The lies and deviation to our country has been a crime. Guns are the lest of their problem. It isn’t bad enough the Leftest wreaked this whole past year 2020, families, businesses, schools, travel, vacations, personality’s, kids socializing & many sports @ school. What about schools not opened and the loss of education? Will they ever catch up. What about those Teachers that won’t go back to school. Let them go and hire new. This is all so out of control. Thank God the Judge stands her ground. What about the rest of our country? I’m so sick and tired of what has happened. When does it stop?
Why not just try and get people back to work and build on the economy. Finish trumps COVID 19 vaccine program. Then worry about all the other problems. How about looking into price gouging on lumber and gasoline up40 cents a gallon since the dems took over lumber has tripled and half the people are not working. And your worried about something that is covered by the second amendment
It looks like the conservatives in these post really know what’s going on and they’re right if they take our guns we will not be able to defend ourselves against tyranny from anyone look at Chicago looks to me like they should ban guns to BLM they’re the ones causing all the problems most of the gun crimes are black on black and everybody knows it they just won’t admit it look at all the statistics
The second amendment clearly states the government shall not tamper with the right of the people to own guns. With the amount of guns owned in the U.S.,approx: 450 million,but yet we rarely hear about any real gun incidents. The way the present administration talks you would assume gun violence would be a near ending news story and concern. Yet we only hear every so often about some person killing people due to being upset from being bullied or wronged in some way. Instead of going after the tools used there should be focus on the mental condition of the person using the weapon. There are already far to many laws on the books which if actually enforced might prevent some shootings or it might cause the person to seek way to harm others far more devastating than shooting at others.
More gun laws will not stop violence. Criminals will always have weapons. Law abiding citizens are not responsible for gun crimes. There are millions of us! It is our right to defend ourselves if we are attacked by a criminal. Leave us alone and enforce the laws already on the books.

This Ferral Guttermint is out of control. It is time for the people to impeach these scum or have them arrested for treason,
Yes, take away all the legal gun owners rights but let all the illegal aliens in which are traffickers, druglords, and sex offenders into our country. House them feed them give them unemployment, jobs, vaccines, and housing. While you take all of our rights away so we are Subject to all of them. God help us all, because we are going to need it. And I hope we can protect our families. And if my family or friends don’t like my post scroll past it, or read the whole thing.
