USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- It took Joe Biden just seven months to cripple this country’s economy, security and world credibility.
[With the Afghanistan disater], Biden lost the moral authority he needs to govern, as well as the respect of voters, foreign leaders, and the mainstream media, who have finally stopped asking about his daily dose of ice-cream and turned their attention to issues of real consequence. The Atlantic published a story Sunday titled “Biden’s betrayal of Afghans will live in infamy.” MSNBC called the rout “Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan charade,” and even a news actor at CNN admitted that the Taliban’s blitzkrieg caught the Biden-Harris administration “flat-footed.”
Biden’s ineptness has turned this great nation into a laughingstock overseas, which the Chinese communists are already exploiting as a propaganda tool to stamp out dissent in Hong Kong. More of our enemies will likely follow since a president’s foibles are always an enemy propagandist’s dream.
While Biden wants to ban American citizens from owning pistol braces and semi-autos, he has armed at least a division of bloodthirsty terrorists with real assault rifles, handguns, heavy and light machineguns, grenade launchers, precision rifles, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles of all types, both fixed and rotary-wing aircraft and sophisticated night vision, missiles, and drones.
Our former Afghan allies – those brave souls that took a chance on us and worked with our troops – are so desperate to flee from the well-armed and up-armored Taliban that some even clung to the wheels of departing C-17s, only to plummet to their deaths as the aircraft gained speed and altitude. Their fears are well-founded. Taliban terrorists are going door-to-door confiscating privately-owned firearms and searching for anyone who supported our troops, as well as brides for their fighters.
As international pressure for Biden to comment increased, he finally cut his umpteenth vacation short, rushed back to the White House and brazenly told the American people that the fault for the Afghan rout was not his. Instead, Biden blamed the Afghan leaders for fleeing the country, the Afghan military for lacking the will to fight, and of course Donald Trump.
A defiant and angry-looking Biden said, “The truth is, this did unfold more quickly than we anticipated.”
It’s not difficult to understand how the Taliban insurrection could have blindsided Biden, who spent most of his time in office pushing an unpopular domestic agenda rather than looking for threats overseas. Biden focused solely on diversity issues, COVID-19 mandates and gun control, including a nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, David Chipman, whom even members of Biden’s own party found distasteful.
Alan M. Gottlieb, the Second Amendment Foundation’s founder and executive vice president, says that out of the swirling chaos may come a silver lining for American gun owners.
“The silver lining might be that there’s such a mess going on, they won’t have time to put through their anti-gun agenda, because right now they have so much other stuff on their plate,” Gottlieb said Sunday night on Armed American Radio.
“Gun control may not be anywhere near the front burner for Biden now because of all the other problems he’s got to worry about,” Gottlieb said. “Right now, we’ve got it bottled up … A lot of gun owners got engaged early to stop the gun-ban agenda.”
He also predicts the Senate will reject Chipman.
“Now, I think it’s actually 60/40 that we’re going to defeat the nomination,” he said.
Still, Gottlieb remains cautious.
“I don’t want anybody to slow down, or to give anybody a sense of ease yet. All it takes is one incident – one big media barrage – and bingo, anything can pass,” he said. “I’m really proud of the Second Amendment/gun rights movement now. We’re pulling out all the stops we can, but we’ve still got a long way to go to get Biden out of the White House.”

Clownshow Joe Biden’s blunders will be his legacy. He has made a complete fool of himself in 8 months . The next 3 years should be a real eye opener for those Democrats that live in a deep state of denial . The circus train has left the station with Joe Biden in charge of the insanity full steam ahead till it goes off the rails .
When it became general knowledge that over 300,000 Fully Automatic M 16 and M 4 platforms were “gifted” to these terrorists, I said then, that I don’t want to hear another word about Gun Control from the Left. I’ll punch ant Democrat spouting that nonsense in the mouth.
Old sleepy Joe needs to send the ATF over to Afghanistan they have a lot to regulate there
Don’t believe for one damn second the scalawags in DC will let up on gun control at the point of a spear. We must be disarmed before this administration leaves office thus opening the double doors for the next totalitarian regimes ascent to power. Then we will surely become a fully subjugated people unable to defend ourselves. The Republicans are fully complicit in this action. This is a long ball game that deprives a nation of it’s liberties. It is a slow burn with the Rino’s and a brushfire with the Democrats all towards the same ends. I wonder how… Read more »
The hypocrisy is deafening. Arming Terrorist’s & disarming citizens. Resonates like a Tyrants bad decision or epoch in a history lesson. All tyrants know that political power comes from the end of gun’s barrel. At the end of the day & bottom line is this: “Cordless Hole Punchers” work. They keep tyrants at bay & liberty in play with a pulse, They create a polite society with less predatory types to exploit vulnerabilities. Liberty of citizens inalienable rights per the original US Constitution & BOR is the only path to freedom. The real battle is here in America, not with… Read more »
I absolutely would not bet on that! It in, IMO, much more likely that he & his administration (i.e., his handlers) will press forward with his gun ban agenda in order to distract his base from his failures.
The two worse things to ever happen to the US was the loss of the first 13 words of the 2nd amendment in force and effect, and the Federal Reserve system. Which BTW is the 5th plank of the communist manifesto… Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.We call it the Federal Reserve which is a credit/debt system nationally organized by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation… Read more »
Dear Chairman Xiden…as a person who has been deemed a possible terrorist threat because I refuse to have an experimental gene therapy forced into my body…can you please send an Apache Attack helicopter to me, so I can protect my neighborhood? I would also like some free flying lessons and maybe you can bring a Tailiban flight instructor here with his own helicopter to teach me. If you don’t give me one like you did to them I’m going to be very sad and won’t let you feel up my 8 year old daughter.
