U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Former Vice President Joe Biden has been coronated “2020 Presumptive Democratic Nominee” but it looks like gun control groups will get to decide his vice-presidential pick in a gun control beauty pageant. It’s no surprise. The only thing left to do is place a tiara and hang a sash.
Just in time for millions of new gun owners to start paying attention, two gun control groups funded by former candidate billionaire Michael Bloomberg, Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action, announced they will host a series of “virtual town halls” with prospective Biden running mates. It’s an interesting move for Bloomberg to insert his influence in the race. After all, it’s the same Bloomberg who stumbled on the runway of his own presidential campaign after a disastrous Fox News town hall. He told Virginians he was worth protecting with guns because he’s rich and was running for office before repeating his desire to ban the sale of America’s most popular selling centerfire sporting rifle. He capped off the display with his gross misunderstanding of the Second Amendment and continued to recite firearm fairytales.
Now, both Everytown and Moms Demand, the “Karens-of-gun-control,” have endorsed Biden and pledged to support his campaign. That’s the one area Biden doesn’t need help. Biden already has a gun-control history a mile long that could prove problematic.
Veepstakes 2020
Former Vice President Joe Biden already proclaimed he would likely name a woman to join him on the 2020 ticket. If he keeps his word, the candidates to fill the role should cause millions of first-time and longtime firearm owners concern. Many who bought guns for the first time recently got a glimpse of what each candidate’s gun control platform could mean for their safety and the protection of their loved ones and property. Some were alarmed to learn they had to wait as long as 10 days to take home their handguns.
Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams worked as a state legislator to pass policies that would turn law-abiding Georgians into felons by forcing them to either turn in modern sporting rifles or destroy them. At 17.7 million MSRs in circulation today, that’s a lot of confiscation if her gun control ideas for Georgia are tried out on the national stage.
Failed 2020 presidential candidate U.S Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) would likely impose new taxes on American sportsmen and women and supports reinstating the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, which did not reduce crime. That’s not the only thing. She’s got lots of plans, including a catalog for gun control which she touted on the campaign trail.
Biden is also said to be considering his former 2020 presidential rival Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Uncle Dick might need to hang out in the deer stand a little longer. Her laundry list gun control platform includes repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, as well as supporting “red flag” laws that deny the accused due process under the law.
Failed 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) is the last announced participant in Everytown’s gun control virtual townhall series. The senator from the Golden State would wave the magic wand of “Executive Action” to enact sweeping gun control policies if she could, including limiting the number of firearms a licensed retailer could sell each year and removing existing legal protections for firearm manufacturers. There may be additional participants announced in the future.
#GUNVOTE
Law-abiding Americans who value the Second Amendment, including those who recently jumped off the fence to legally purchase their first firearm, understand any of these potential vice presidential nominees are problematic when paired with Biden on the 2020 ticket.
Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, NSSF worked to promote and protect responsible and safe firearm ownership. One of the most important ways for law-abiding Americans to do their part is to be educated and active. NSSF launched its #GUNVOTE voter registration and education initiative to provide voters with candidates’ own words and backgrounds surrounding firearm-related issues so they can make an informed choice on election day. This important resource will be updated frequently in the coming days as the “veep” candidates take the stage.

Biden is NOT a populist, he is an authoritarian. We better get control of the language here or we are going to get our backsides kicked. We must stop playing nice with these people, they literally will kill us if we loose. These gun laws, stay at home orders, closing of businesses by edict deciding for US what is essential and what is not are acts of authoritarianism. We must make that point and keep hammering that point. As far as MOMS Demand authoritarianism – well at this point they are supporting a accused sexual predator. Is that what they… Read more »
I wonder if the creepy sniffer is no more than another democrat ruse, a contingency if you will. Seems to me, he obviously is a loser but if by chance he should win, he might be programmed to simply resign for health reasons. That would cede the presidency to the democrat party’s real choice for president. I hope the GOP is smart enough to stay focused on the choice for VICE PRESIDENT and conduct extreme vetting to prevent another run at fundamental transformation.
“The RIGHT to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.” ANYONE who would vote demoncrap/socialist/progressive/communist is either very foolish or is evil. ANYONE who would disarm you is evil.
Arm up, carry on.
I have heard friends claim that they have family and friends who are Democrats and they are nice people and they just don’t discuss politics with them. I suppose having pet rattlesnakes or pet scorpions would appeal to these folks too. They most likely will act like, or actually be, surprised when they get bit/stung by the Democrats and/or dangerous pets, until then, ignorance is truly bliss.
The Toxic squad of the Hollywood Left are beginning to turn on Creepy Joe. Due to well documented sexual assault allegations. Led by Toxic Queen Rose McGowan. You know his days are numbered when. The Toxic wing of the party turn against him.and the MSM. I love it when the Left eats it’s self.
Instead of fighting every new gun law the left passes (we will be outspent), we need one strong organization to get the Supreme Court to rule on the overall 2nd Amendment, not individual infractions. And, they should also start suing the anti-gun organizations that are trying to destroy our rights. Just think what could be done if the money being spent to “defend” our rights could instead be spent on training and shooting ranges.
SMASH THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA!!!
SMASH THE DEMOCRAT PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES!!!
The Democrats are so ignorant,they have no clue what will happen to them and this country SHOULD they win.
THEY LOSE IT ALL.
Revolution within 24hrs after Inauguration.
A friend of mine is convinced that Obama gave his endorsement to Biden in exchange for naming Michelle his VP, then he resigns in the first year for health reasons, then guess what? Hmmm. whom would Michelle name as her VP? God help us.
Here’s the DEAL
WHEN ALL THE Guns Have Been Banned
WHEN ALL THE Words Have Been Censored
WHEN ALL THE History Has Been Erased
WHEN ALL THE Freedom Has Been Taken
ONLY THEN Will You Discover Why Our
“RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS” Was So High On The List.
