What Does A Biden Presidency Mean to Americans – Part One

Joe Biden Wants to Ban 9mm Pistols
Joe Biden Wants to Ban 9mm Pistols

U.S.A.-(AmmoLand.com)- Electing Donald Trump to a second term this November is as critical to our Nation’s preservation as the outcome of the American Revolution was to our Nation’s creation.

Some Americans, though, who intend to vote for Joe Biden—assuming the DNC doesn’t pull the plug on him and selects someone else to run against Trump in his stead if Biden’s cognitive decline worsens precipitously between now and the day of the Election—don’t see the election as a watershed moment. They see the coming U.S. Presidential election as they see all Presidential elections: political pendulum oscillations from left to right to center, ever back and forth.

Periodically, or so these members of the electorate assume, a pendulum swings too far in one direction. When that occurs, a political course correction is necessary. The pendulum must be brought back to the center: to stability, to normalcy, to stasis, to a point of equilibrium in all matters political, social, cultural, and economic. But, if so, this presumes that Trump’s 2016 victory represents a radical shift away from political equilibrium rather than, itself, a self-corrective step toward equilibrium from the irrationality of the Clinton/Bush/Obama eras that saw the Nation moving ever further away from its traditional roots. Of course, the movement away from our Nation’s roots, our Nation’s core values, has taken place gradually, imperceptibly, over decades. The American public had been mostly unaware of the shift. Yet, perhaps on a subconscious level, many Americans did come to suspect something awry and that would suggest why the electorate voted Trump into Office.

Be that as it may, many Americans, poisoned by media propaganda, truly see Joe Biden as the political “moderate,” someone who will bring the Nation back to a moderate political, social, cultural, and economic stance; back to normalcy; back to equilibrium. This idea is delusional, but it explains why the DNC, including the RINOs, believes an otherwise weak candidate like Biden has the best shot at beating Trump in November 2020.

Many in the electorate see Joe Biden’s obvious mental deficiencies as de minimis, of little concern, or even de rigueur, obligatory: a cognitively impaired, uncharismatic, stumbling, bumbling, rambling, fool—just the sort of person to bring this Nation back to its senses and to a sense of decorum, as this shell of a man cedes authority to the Bureaucratic Deep State.

But ceding authority to the Bureaucracy is not something Trump, himself, would never do; has never done; and, in fact, ought never to do, as no President should do, since the President of the United States is the only person under and pursuant to Article II, who wields Article II authority. But Trump is so loathed by the “establishment”—that the alternative, obsolescence and decrepitude, is considered preferable, and no better man to symbolize that obsolescence, decrepitude than the frail, feeble, senile man, Joe Biden. What better man is there to enfeeble our Nation than Joe Biden, the most feeble man ever to run for political office?

Other Americans who plan on voting for Joe Biden in November, assuming he does in fact run against Trump, have, as well, no illusions about Biden’s incapacity for Office. They, too, perceive Joe Biden’s infirmities and deficiencies as a “plus,” an opportunity to wipe the slate clean. These people doubt that Biden, if elected, would serve out one term, let alone two, and that is what they want. Indeed, that is what they are banking on. And there will be no placid course correction to the political center if Biden does emerge victorious in November.

What Is The Coming 2020 U.S. Presidential Election Really About?

This general election and the one preceding it isn’t an election between “Republicans and Democrats.” In fact, the terms ‘Republican’ and ‘Democrat’ have long ago lost whatever meaning they originally had.

From a political, social, cultural, juridical standpoint, the coming election is one between adherents of the tenets of Collectivism and the adherents of Individualism. It is about those who support the Bill of Rights—and the one fundamental right that preserves all other rights along with the sovereignty of the American people, the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution—and those who abhor, absolutely loathe, the very notion of the supremacy of the individual over that of the Collective, and who intend to erase free speech, free association, and the ability of the American citizen TO BE his own person, individual; to see Government amass unlimited power, usurping the natural sovereignty of the people. These radical Marxists and Billionaire Globalists do not intend to leave the American citizen alone, but to subjugate the citizen, reduce the citizen to penury, and to keep the American citizen in a constant state of fear. We see the plans of these Destructors of our Nation playing out today, even before the General election.

These Destructors of our Nation are providing the American citizenry a foretaste of what it can expect, what it will experience if the Destructors do secure complete control over the Federal Government. They will never permit the individual TO BE individual. They will never leave the individual alone. They will control all thought and conduct. And to avoid revolt, they will never sanction the citizenry’s ownership of and possession of firearms and ammunition. Guns and ammunition will be the first things they will confiscate. They will reconfigure the Country, turning it from one where Government is the servant of the people to one where the people are the servants of Government, a Government to be merged into a new world order.

Supporters of Individualism are fighting back against this push of Destructors both here and abroad who intend to wrest the Nation from the citizenry. Supporters of Individualism wish to preserve our Nation as the founders presented it to us, as set forth in the Nation’s blueprint, the U.S. Constitution; as the framers of our Constitution intended for our Nation to remain: a free Constitutional Republic, in which the people, themselves, are sovereign. Supporters of Collectivism want to eradicate our Nation’s history, culture, and core Christian values. They intend to create an entirely new and alien economic, political, social, cultural, and juridical construct, grounded on an expansive, powerful, centralized governmental authority through which the lives, thoughts, and actions of individuals are strictly controlled and modulated, according to a uniform standard, permitting no deviancy in thought, action, or conduct.

Nothing better exemplifies the vast irreconcilable differences between those who adhere to the tenets of Individualism and those who adhere to the tenets of Collectivism than in the manner each perceives the Bill of Rights. Individualists perceive the Nation’s Bill of Rights as codifications of natural law bequeathed to man by the Divine Creator. The Bill of Rights are fundamental, unalienable, immutable, illimitable rights, and liberties that rest outside the lawful power of the State to modify, abrogate, or ignore. It is only through the exercise of these basic, God-given rights that the American citizenry can truly retain its authority, power, and sovereignty over Government; and this is deemed a good thing; the way things ought to be.

But Collectivists perceive the Nation’s Bill of Rights as nothing more than codifications of man-made laws that arise with the creation of a State. Collectivists perceive the Bill of Rights as auxiliary laws of man, created by man, bestowed on man by other men; laws that therefore fall within the prerogative of men to modify, abrogate, or ignore at will. They perceive the Bill of Rights, not as permanent ineradicable fixtures, but as an insufferable obstacle to their usurpation of authority. They see the Bill of Rights as a collection of antiquated, obsolete alienable man-made rules, unacceptable constraints against the accumulation of Government power, and not as God-given unalienable rights, intrinsic in man’s very being. They see the Bill of Rights as mutable privileges, not immutable rights. They perceive the Bill of Rights not as illimitable and expansive in their reach but limited and transitory, to be exercised, if at all, by the grace of Government, subject to carefully circumscribed parameters when exercised, and capable of rescission at any time.

These differences in perception of the relationship of man to government have more than philosophical import. They have real-world consequences for every American. See the Arbalest Quarrel article on “The Modern American Civil War: A Clash of Ideologies.”

Collectivists do not perceive the Bill of Rights as sacred and inviolate but as obstacles to control over the citizenry; and they are correct in their observation that the Bill of Rights does operate as an intolerable, insufferable, frustrating obstacle to those in Government who desire to wield absolute control over the thoughts, actions, and conduct of the citizenry, as of course, the Bill of Rights was designed to prevent. This is as the framers of the Constitution intended so that the sovereignty of the Nation would always rest in the hands of the citizenry, not in the hands of Government, and it is this idea, crystallized in the soul of the American psyche, indefatigable, tenacious notion that Americans will not so easily relinquish, that Biden and his handlers, as with all those who adhere to the tenets of Collectivism, intend to wrench from the American citizen. But to accomplish this, the Destructors of our Nation must corral the Bill of Rights; they must turn the Constitution on its head. And they making headway: shaming Americans, humiliating them; creating victims of us all.

You are 100% correct.
Obama set the country up for Hillary to change America to communism.
Every month, when obama was the worst prez, we heard that the federal government was the biggest employer in the world and obama hired ANOTHER 50,000 federal employees this month.As he did every month and ALL those employees were democrats, anti-America activists and communists.Remember obama’s cabinet singing the praises of Mao and Castro? They LOVE communism.
As Hillary said “I will be the last president”.

THAT tells you everything.

uncle dudley

The scary part about Biden as president would be putting Obama on the supreme court, why would he want to be there you may ask, quick simple answer is EGO.

JIAZ

Ask yourself, “Are you an American or a cream-puff?”.
Vote accordingly knowing that elections have consequences.

Bring it on indeed!

Not that a Trump victory is not important, but the larger issues will not be solved at the ballot box this time. Anyone who thinks so is on the extreme naive side. 2A will be secured when it is used as intended. That use appears unavoidable given our divide.

Chuck

Unfortunately, I to believe that we’ve reached that point too. I maintain we’ve been in a “Cold” Civil War for a while now. We’re only waiting for the Fort Sumter moment for armed hostilities to begin in earnest.

Big George

A terrific and on-point article! My fear isn’t that Trump will lose, but that ‘they’ WON’T let him win! I hope and pray that if the inevitable war does come, and I fear that it will, that there are enough of ‘us’ to save our Country! God save and protect us all.

pdxhk9mm

you mean how tRump stole the election last time?…Hillary (ugh) WON the popular vote, but the good ol’ electoral college voted tRump in to office…so that’s what you mean by “they won’t let him (Biden) win”?

Trump thinks he is pro gun. Evidence; Bump stock ban under his watch. Calling for “taking guns first, then due process.” (Red flag laws) When legislation about gun control was making its way through Congress he said not to include 50 state concealed carry. After Va shooting he said “I don’t like them.” Referring to suppressor. One of his two scotus appointments voted with the anti 2A wing of the court in declaring the NYSRPA vs. NYC moot. As someone who voted for trump he has failed us on RKBA/2A. I say this so he can hear his base and… Read more »

Do HiLIARy would have been a better choice?

Scooter

No! The more productive question to as is; How will we ever get the 2A adavanced if we keep voting for the lesser of the two evils? Why do we give trump a pass when he did the opposite he campaigned on regarding 2A? I want him to win again and have to point out how disappointing his record has been on 2A.

Justista

“Why do we give trump a pass when he did the opposite he campaigned on regarding 2A?”

He is by far the best choice. There will never be a perfect candidate and you should be grateful to Trump for all he has done for us and point out to him and his administration the displeasure you have with what you feel he has done to us.
Who would have been better? Who will be better?
You are lucky we have a person as sensitive to our 2A as we do.

Scooter

It’s just talk without follow through, talk is cheap. Saying you are pro gun and campaigning offering hope to advance RKBA in the form of 50 state carry/dereg cans/Scotus judges(one voted with anti 2A wing to moot NYSRPA vs NYC). Then to ban bump stocks and not advance one of the promised reliefs or reforms doesn’t leave me grateful. Not looking for perfect just follow through on maybe one of the promises, guess that is too much to expect. Living in NYS I registered as a GOP to help him secure GOP nomination. I can speculate about his belief on… Read more »

We are merely kicking the can down the road to the inevitable one of two conclusions: surrender or fight.

Scooter

Great talk about fighting or surrender…… no one here me included will use their arms in any manner then to shoot a target. Let’s no kid ourselves

Scooter

T shouldn’t have and should stop pretending to be pro 2A, then the lesser of two evils is solved as both candidates are being honest with the voters. Absurd argument and voting for the lesser of the two evils gets us to where RKBA is today. Candidate X is better then candidate Y, we vote for X and X acts like Y. Then the chours sings “It could have been worse if Y won!” Read my comment about being a NY gun owed who voted for T. T is a fud he believes (my opinion) permits are acceptable to own… Read more »

Not in any of my comments have I said I will vote for Biden or encouraged anyone else to. I am shouting to trump that his base 2A/RKBA has been let down. There are things he can do to advance 2A. Sir your name implies you are an elder and you are a vet, thanks for your service and I respect my elders deeply.

pdxhk9mm

Hey Oldvet Your precious country didn’t end under Obama, how is it going to end THIS time under Democrat rule? Convince anyone HERE to vote for a Democrat? You ASSUME everyone here is a far right nut bag who religiously (used as the pun its intended to be) votes against their own best interests? You assume all gun owners are card carrying RepubliCons? It’s amazing how “foolish” (your father’s statement about fools) your assumptions are….

Jeremy B.

Better question, “which candidate is/was/will be more likely to nominate Federal and Supreme court judges that are willing to uphold the 2nd Amendment?

StLPro2A

that’s a question about as deep, probing as “To breathe; or not to breathe.” No choice.

J Gibbons

The next president will likely appoint 4 SCOTUS justices, not counting the continued number of lower federal judges. That’s enough of a reason to keep Biden out of 1600 Pennsylvania.

AZ Lefty

YES SHE WOULD HAVE! with Hillary as POTUS the GOP would have retained control of both house and Senate and we all knew her positions!

The ONLY People she would have been worse for are those who want to harm the USA!

Norm

THERE’s a dream!

J Gibbons

Congress would have been overwhelmingly blue for the first two years. The midterms likely would have flipped, but the damage would have done already.

StLPro2A

As I did, Trump was not elected by voters voting for him as much as voters voting against Hillary. ANYONE less hated than Hillary would have won . Sadly, Americans have for decades been forced to vote for the lesser of two evils. There was no choice in 2016…..Trump???….Hillary??? Trump only because Hillary was soooo much worse. Trump isn’t, never has been, a Conservative. He is all about deals rather than standing for the traditional values that made this country great. This year, we will again vote for the lesser of two evils.

FactsMatter2020

Although I agree that it has turned into a game of “who do I hate less” when voting for president, that isn’t really the case with Trump. He had a long history of fraud, failure, and narcissism. Anyone could spend 30 minutes of their time to learn this, and yet, the majority of the US was too stupid or careless to take just a second to look into the facts. And here we are again. The cult of trump is as strong as ever, even in the midst of all the crazy shit that has happened. This time will be… Read more »

It isn’t propaganda to believe that Pelosi, Omar, Beto and Bieden have a drastically different view of the future than many here do. There are many among us who long for a better choice than either party but we have what we have. For a LOT of us it comes down to SCOTUS and who gets to put judges on said court.

Are you kidding !!!!

MRA0331

Exactly, if Trump wants my support as a gun owner, he not only has several statements to walk back, but several specific actions he must take to affirm his support of the 2A. Lip service is meaningless, and being a Republican doesn’t make you a 2A rockstar either. Trump, and a Republican controlled legislature still couldn’t give us National CCW Reciprocity, or the HPA. The R’s have quite a bit of work to get my vote in November when it comes to guns.

GUNFUN

Cool. You vote for Biden, and I’ll vote for Trump. You protect your second amendment, and I get a country for my kids.

Scooter

Not to veer off course(RKBA/2A) but as a parent myself we are handing our kids a national defecit that was made worse by T and GOP. I don’t believe anyone in this comment section will vote for Biden. If you are here it is because you are a gun guy and we know Grandpa Joe is only for for the glue factory.

UncleT

The only thing I see Trump has been better at has been the economy that he also helped destroy in less than a month. His judge appointments have been more a failure than not. His defense of the #2A has been a failure , Trump supports Universal Background Checks, raising the age to 21 for ALL gun sales, Supports Red Flag laws, wants to stop 3-D printing for homemade Firearms and supports the TAPS Act. National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, Pub.L. 112–81. This NDAA contains several controversial sections (see article), the chief being §§ 1021–1022, which affirm… Read more »

The post-COVID economy is not at all Trump’s “fault.” This isn’t the venue for that discussion, but if you look outside CNN for real facts on timelines and actions, the true story is very different than what the media portrays.

Scooter

It is a mark of a citizen who requires their elected officials to do their will. A subject accepts the acts of their elected officials. We on the 2A side rarely have true defenders and supporters of RKBA sadly. GOP (not all) treat us as we have no where to go politically………

None

I agree but until we get a third party that stands totally with the Consitution we are stuck with the lesser of 2 evils and having Biden with his crooked cronies will never get my vote

Rebel VA

So you’re going to vote for a D??

Big George

The bump-stocks were a bone Trump threw to the wolves to shut them up for awhile. Do you honestly care about some toy which is only good for dumping magazines as fast as you can! Keep your eye on the bigger picture like the article says, if we’ll even HAVE guns to keep after November if ‘Biteme’ wins!

Scooter

You would be well served if you read how the atf worded the “new” definition of a machine gun to cover bump stocks. That WILL be used again and it will be a lot more then a “toy that is only used to dump mags” that gets classified as a machine gun. Keep your eye on the big picture. Remember this post after 2024 or in trumps second term when he throws a bone to pacify people who will never vote for him (great political move piss off your base).

When I see the moniker, “Big George”, it brings to mind a character with the moniker, “Big Daddy.” Some of you will be too young to understand.

All of my 40+ years as a voter, has been which candidate is the lesser of two evils. I suspect it’s been the case for a lot longer than that. The biggest injustice in America, wasn’t slavery, but the formation of Political Parties. It began before the ink was dry on the Constitution, and it has snowballed into the mess we have today. Third Party Candidacies are a joke. It’s been over a hundred years since we’ve elected one, and since that moment, historically, all a strong Third does is hand the election to the Democrats, by splitting both the… Read more »

So you think the two party system is the worst thing that ever happened to American politics? How about the fact that this government no longer represents the PEOPLE, but only truly represents the CORPORATIONS….you’re mad about the two party system, but you are totally fine with corporations ruling this country?

MajorMike

Every single election my vote boils down to one question and one question alone; Which candidate is going to harm the country and myself the least?

It’s always like Lewis Black said: “Every year we’re presented with two bowls of shit and then we have to decide which one to take a bite out of one.”

RoyD

No, you have a third choice if you want to use it.

A vote for either Trump or Biden is a vote for gun control.

A vote for Biden is a vote for tyranny.

So why are we still talking about Trump like he has a stellar record on the 2A? Why is it so imperative to re-elect him when we have other options like Dr. Jorgensen, whom actually espouses our values?

tetejaun

You can not name ONE THING Trump has done against the Second Amendment. If you bring up the toy bump stock, it means you are lying as it was the anti-America activist BATF that banned that toy, and it proves you are a noob (waaaa, I want to pretend to be Rambo).
As for the idiot Jorgensen, she is a Libertarian…they believe in NO BORDERS and ALL THE DOPE you want, and have zero chance of doing anything except draining votes away from Republicans.
You must be really young and poorly educated.

MRA0331

Removing immigration quotas is not the same as open borders. I don’t understand how decriminalizing drugs is a non-starter for you. I’m not here to debate issues other than the 2A. As for your statement about Trump playing no part in the bump stock ban, you’re wrong, proof: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-memorandum-application-definition-machinegun-bump-fire-stocks-similar-devices/ I give zero fucks about automatic fire, it’s absolutely useless outside of operations conducted by those well versed and trained in its effective application. Not in a weapons company anymore, and as such I have no practical use for it. That said, it’s still a right to own military weaponry: see… Read more »

A vote for Jorgensen is a vote for Biden, period, end of discussion.

Totally agree, @tetejaun.

Superman

So HiLIARy would have been a better choice?

MRA0331

Hilary was still the absolute worst possible choice in 2016. That fact doesn’t make Trump the only choice in 2020, especially with his record on my primary issue.

GUNFUN

Yes it does. If you had voted for anyone else, you would have been throwing your vote away. And trump already had precious few of them. Voting for other people would have ensured a Hillary nomination.

gregs

if we had other than the antiquated two party system we have now, that might be a option, but that is not our reality. our options are to vote for a party that opposes freedom(s) and the other that wants to be seen as supporting them, and occasionally does. another huge problem is our federal judicial system that has not ruled according to law, but by their ideological principles. that is a far greater threat to our freedoms than a single candidate.

Norm

“Who” actually espouses.

Sisu

@Norm, It’s probably no longer appropriate to “take” or “give” a woman in marriage, even though divorce laws continue to be so premised, having yet to evolve to reflect feminist objections (e.g., “you took the best years of my life” and all that). … But, as a verb to “advocate” I find myself sometimes “espousing”.

JIAZ

Truth, Ross Perot was the reason the Clintons won the White House.

J Gibbons

Because we have a 2-party system. Love it or hate it, it is what it is. Right now, Trump is the safer choice for 2A and a whole lot of other reasons. He’s done some real dumb-ass things, but Biden, the only other viable, electable option, is a guaranteed fail for 2A. Trump is a “meh” for 2A with some things going our way and some not.

FactsMatter2020

“We must return to normalcy be voting for the most disorganized-chaotic, narcissistic, egotistic, sociopathic person known in recent history.” Voting for the only person who is actively trying to destroy the country is not the right option, there is also evidence that he is pro-abortion, and anti-gun; he only changed his rhetoric in the last few years to pick up bible thumper voters.

Yeah, Biden is the second worse possible Democratic nominee, but he doesn’t want to watch the world burn, and doesn’t identify with dictators.

Random71

So rather than voting for a lying turd who at times deals with other turds. You are saying the better option is the demented turd, who happily dealt with a shitdemon named Ji…. including aid programs, to things like research labs.

I detest both of them. However that just does not compute.

Ed

So, you’re ok with innocent people being dragged from their cars and beat. You’re ok with mobs invading private neighborhoods and threatening home owners? You’re ok with organized rioters burning businesses? You don’t want record low unemployment? You don’t want record low minority unemployment? You don’t want a pull back from the middle east?

J Gibbons

I’d take someone who recently became somewhat pro 2A rather than someone who was in Congress for more than 40 years being anti-2A, anti-desegregation, anti-business, anti-freedom, etc. Biden may not want the world to burn, but he is so deep into the radical elements of the party and so deep into dementia that what he wants is meaningless.
