Each week GunsAmerica publishes an article about the Biden administration’s plan to dismantle the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. And, each week in the comments section, a reader or several readers will accuse us of publishing fear porn, the underlying notion being that Biden won’t follow through with a radical anti-gun agenda and that we’re just fanning flames for clicks.
It doesn’t seem to matter to these critics that on Biden’s own website, he laid out in great detail precisely what he plans to do as POTUS 46 — ban ARs, criminalize private transfers, end online gun sales, hold gun makers responsible for the acts of criminals, among many other misguided policies — or what he or his choice for Vice President, Kamala Harris, have said in the past on their desire to use executive fiat to infringe on gun rights should Congress not play ball, they still don’t believe that a Biden administration is coming for our guns.
But maybe, just maybe, who Biden is now surrounding himself with to do his bidding will open their eyes. This week, Tucker Carlson of Fox News made a very compelling case of what we have to look forward to if Biden takes office on Jan. 20, 2020, based on his choices for key positions in his cabinet and on his staff.

Biden has tapped Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA) to be a senior advisor, for example. As Tucker points out, last year, Richmond voiced support for the confiscation of certain firearms under a “mandatory buyback.”
“If it is a buyback, then I’m all for it. If it’s a mandatory buyback, I think then you may run into some complications, but the thought of it does not offend me, and it sounds like something I could support,” he told CNN.
Likewise, Biden’s deputy chief of staff Jennifer O’Malley Dillion was very clear that seizing guns from responsible gun owners — not criminals — is a high priority for the Democratic Party.
“A plan that supports mandatory buybacks of weapons of war,” she explained. “The assault weapons ban is very, very important and we need to have it. But that only takes weapons of war off the streets in the future. It does nothing for weapons of war that are currently out there, and I think there’s 15 or 16 million.”
Now, I know for most of you, we’re not telling you anything you don’t already know or understand. This is really an article for the skeptics. Those who believe with confidence that a Biden administration won’t do everything in its power to attack 2A rights.
Basically, what I want to know from them is how do you not only defend Biden’s plan, his comments supporting gun control in the past, but the people he is now putting in positions of power? How is this all, when considered in its totality, not an existential threat to one’s right to keep and bear arms?
Seems I had a terrible accident and lost my “weapons of war’ down a mine shaft while hiding….er, “securing” my guns safe. seems it will take at least 4 years to remove the rubble, (did I mention it caved in?)
Sorry Slojoe don’t have any to sell you at a discount price, besides, I question your mental capacity and I wouldn’t want to RISK selling firearms to someone of limited mental competence. THAT would be dangerous and Illegal.
Jus’ sayn…………
All this talk of disarming Citizens is reason enough for Citizens to return the favor and call for disarmament of Presidential, Vice Presidential, Senatorial, Congressional, Gubernatorial and Mayoral Bodyguards! Let’s see how they feel knowing that they are exposed to the same criminals they’ve unleashed upon law abiding Citizens! Of course they’ll have the option to call 911 for emergencies…no wait they can’t they de-funded the Police and other emergency services!!!!!
So much wrong with in illegitimate biden administration gun policy: first in order to be a buyBACK you have to own it in the first place–ain’t the case sleepy joe it’s a forced sale (probably at a fraction of the cost of reality) and these guns will then end up in the hands of select authorities as their personal “toys”. Second, ar-15s are not “weapons of war”, the just look like they are. Question for the weapon of war crowd–if you take a VW chassis and put on it a body that looks like a formula 1 race car is the VW a formula one car? Question for the anti-gunner crowd: what is an assault rifle? Don’t tell me its an ar-15 or ak-47. Tell me the features that make it one, and while you’re at it. What is a “large capacity magazine-who determines what that number is? Comrade andrew in ny made one of the dumbest statements ever-“no one needs 10 bullets to shoot a deer”. Hey andy-where in the constitution is deer hunting mentioned? I don’t know if this group is stupid or just a bunch of a-holes that want to control the population-I suspect they’re both.
Camela is going to tax ammo out of this world easy sell
Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote. That’s why we have the Constitution.
As for dealing with the Democrats, remember to never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
Biden don’t want your guns. Worse case scenario (which will never happen) is that you AR-15 will end up looking like mine. I don’t need an adjustable stock, a pistol grip, or flash suppressor. I also don’t need to attach a bayonet to my AR-15. I don’t plan on getting that close since I can blow someone’s head off from 200 yards. I can also hurt a lot of people with a ten round magazine in less than five seconds and thats without a binary trigger which I don’t need either. So bottom line, calm the fu** down. Time to make America United again.
Hey Bobbie, how about YOU calming the Fk down? You are sounding like another democrat butlikkin socialist.
There will be ZERO chance of freedom loving independent minded gun owners EVER “uniting” with the bullshit proposals that you are willing to bend over for. KMWHA.
Well said!
Lots of don’t needs in your statement. Who the hell are you to tell me what I need and don’t need
Bob,
Kept your gun grabbing ideas away for any firearms I may or may not possess. Now that I think of it, all my firearms fell overboard during an elk/duck/caribou/goose/mule deer/bear hunting trip. It was a serious tragedy. Now all I can shoot is my grandads slingshot made from a elk horn and a bull’s scrotum.
In other words, pi$$ off.
The “ guns sank with the boat “ excuse wasn’t good enough for the brown shirts pre ww2, and it won’t be good enough for what’s soon coming here. They already have have the population turning on the other half over a mask..
You serious Clark?
The Bill of Rights says “Shall not be infringed”. What that means is, I don’t “Have to have it” or that “I need it”. It also has absolutely nothing to due with hunting. It is that the citizens shall have the ability to keep the government in check by being able to fight back when needed.
The reality is, the flash hider is to help protect YOUR eyesight when shooting in low light situations. It doesn’t “hide” the flash. It only suppresses it.
As for magazines. There are documented cases where home owners have had to use 30 rounds or more to protect themselves from a group of home invaders. When the adrenaline is pumping, you may not be the most accurate shooter, and when it is 4 or 5 invaders to one person defending, you need all you can get.
The fact that you don’t understand this also shows that you are a troll and really aren’t a second amendment defender. You just wanted to post contrary because you, more than likely, don’t even own a firearm, or you are a prospective home invader and actually do have magazines greater than 10 rounds and want to ensure that you have greater firepower than your victums.
Go pound sand.
Bob, you do not need a “pistol grip”? Must be hard to hold especially hitting targets at 200 yards. It might be nice if you actually got some real information and experience instead of embarrassing yourself in front of thousands of people.
LOL! “Make America United again”?
How stupid must one be to NOT realize that the very man now elected for POTUS was the VP of THE most divisive Administration in U.S. history?????
Have you been under a rock?
Trump Derangement Syndrome is REAL silly man, and it has shown every INTELLIGENT person just how these crazy fools operate, and what they really want.
THEY started it with the name calling and even with threats, not us.
Try using your head for other than keeping your ears apart.
It’s not about “need”. There’s nothing in the constitution about need.
We need go wait and see how the Georgia elections go. If the Republicans keep the Senate, then we conservatives must hold their feet to the fire and ensure they block any and all gun control attempts. If they lose the Senate then we will have to wait for the the Supreme Court to weigh in. I am sure most, if not all, pro-gun groups are already drafting lawsuits to challenge whatever comes from Biden. If the court does not affirm the 2nd amendment then it will be time to look at revolution. Understand they the removal of the government will not fix problem. The removal of the major liberal news organizations will be needed. As with most efforts, removing the leaders will normally terminate the attack. I believe there are a lot of very good ‘reporters’, people who deliver the news, the facts. Unfortunately now there is an over abundance of ‘story tellers’, people that put a spin on a news story to elicit an emotional response so they can sway people to a false conclusion as to a solution.
Defender is correct in that this divide is between liberal urban and conservative suburban and rural areas. Conservatives in these urban areas need to move. Unfortunately there are a lot of very good people in these areas who are of lower income and cannot move. These urban areas cannot survive with their liberal policies. Chaos and criminals will eventually overrun the cities. Just look at Chicago. Unless SCOTUS upholds the 2nd amendment a war is coming.
Also for those that do not know, Anthony Thompson is a troll. Probably not his real name. He is posting just to get people angry and write something stupid. Ignore people like him. Please.

There is only one answer to this tyranny, nullification.
Thomas Jefferson’s Kentucky Resolutions claim that the U. S. Constitution was a compact among the several states-whereby the states delegated certain limited powers to the U.S. government; any undelegated power exercised by the U. S. government is thus void.
Furthermore, the general government is not the final and authoritative judge of its own powers, since that would make the government’s discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of those powers-but rather the parties to the contract, the states, have each an equal right to judge for themselves whether the Constitution has been violated as well as “the mode and measure of redress”-since there is no common judge of such matters among them.
Thus, every state can of its own authority nullify within its territory “all assumptions of power by others”-i.e., all perceived violations of the Constitution by the federal government.
Every one go search on twitter for ‘Ivan the troll’. Once you find him, you can download free 3d print files and print all the guns you would like. These files are for home builds, legal in the US. You can print glock frames, ar frames, ak frames, fgc9, ar mags,. And directions for making your own rifled barrels. Information is still legal in the USA 🇺🇸. Firearms are here to stay, even if I have to print them. F.G.C.
How much can Biden/Harris do without Congress and the Senate remains to be seen. They talk big to keep their liberal antigun base happy!
Buddy the Dems have the house, and if Georgia continues to go purple and wins these run off races in a few weeks then the Dems have all 3 in their pocket . So not sure where you get your info.
Ok, so we tried the soapbox. The msm either ignored us or twisted what we said. We tried the soapbox, and have been obviously cheated. All that remains is the cartridge box. He’ll is coming. You have only yourselves to blame.
Sell one of your guns to a ghetto guy. Send proceeds to help hold Senate Republican. The gun will be kept safe from ever getting confiscated as the ghetto guy won’t comply ever. Use your ghetto contact to upgrade your personal arms if needed. Net there is and will be a massive pool of “illegal” arms created by any new gun laws. I wouldn’t be surprised if corrupted Dems don’t know this and have plans to profit from it….meanwhile we could have new common ground with the inner city…. 2A rights!
History is a great teacher, although at times a little harsh. Just ask those people in Europe that willingly gave up their guns.
You mean like the California State Assemblyman who was charged and convicted of gun running?
They already are making money off of the illegal guns.
Our oath says we “will support and defend the Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic”. The oath was sworn at our enlistment and wasn’t given with an expiration date. Active duty, separated, retired, medically discharged all swore the same oath. We are held by that oath. God have mercy if we are ever forced to defend the Constitution.
AMEN! You are exactly right. My oath was to the Constitution. It hasn’t (and won’t) expire.
The U S military was forced to defend the constitution in 1861 when part of the country tried to overthrow the government. They did it than and they will do it again. And as you said God help us. We will stay United, like it or not. I also took that oath in the US Army and NYC Fire Dept. I am prepared to defend the constitution.
Bob, Bob, Bob . . . you are bobbing for apples that are not there. Please stop the ignorance.
The confederated southern states HAD NO DESIRE to overthrow ANY government! They just wanted to leave the union.
Each state is a SOVEREIGN state. They were then and they are now. In reality THE STATES hold the power. If 38 of them decide on a convention, THEY can amend the constitution and mandate things like a balanced budget, term limits, and immigration law.
The southern confederation played their hand wrong and simply did not have enough chips to stay in the game. That does not mean that they were “wrong”. They felt abused and desired to leave the union.
Great reply, Rick. Our government was founded on limited and enumerated powers. There is no enumeration for keeping a state in the union that wants to leave. The US never had a civil war. It had a war over secession, and to make that war happen, Lincoln had to throw the constitution out the White House window.
I to took the oath of allegiance to protect the Constitution of These United States and at that time coming from a Military family on both sides of my bloodline my Dad (Retired USAF) gave me the Talk! He explained how that oath of allegiance was till death do we part, never ending as long as life was in my body… and so I remain ever loyal to it and the men and women of like mind and heart! Keep your powder dry for the day it’s needed is soon to be at hand…HOOAH!!!
good luck
As the Son of one of those ” advisors ” , sent to RVN by
Mr. Kennedy ( ’62-‘ 63 ) , I must agree with you , Sarge .
I was brought up to understand that communists are the
enemy , pure and simple . You are correct in suggesting that
they are no longer overseas , they are active HERE .
Were my Father still with us today , he would agree with both
our statements .
Yes, the democrat party is the new American socialist party. All those idiots who voted democrat voted socialist.
For four straight years, conservatives heard nothing but abject hatred from liberals. We were loudly and publicly branded “deplorable,” “racists,” “bigots,” “homophobes,” “xenophobes,” etc. We were threatened constantly, and were endlessly told that we should be repeatedly beaten and jailed. But now – thinking that they have gotten their way – the Leftists’ message (at least, from their leadership, and only in public) is that “unity” should be the goal. Suddenly, we must all share a kumbaya moment, and live happily ever after…
Horse manure! No, Leftists, your hypocritical stance stops, right by-God now. You – YOU – set the precedent for behavior when you did not get what you wanted. Your childish, ignorant leaders not only allowed, they approved and actually required violence. All across the country (Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, St Louis, Ferguson, Lansing, Kenosha, New York City, Atlanta, etc etc etc), rioting/looting was actually encouraged(!) while underfunded police were specifically instructed to “stand down,” and criminals were instantly released on cashless bond.
You Leftists changed the rules. We conservatives, in a spirit of “equality” [for your pea brain, I’ll identify that as sarcasm], will merely follow those re-set but current rules, and we WILL be treated in the same manner (no police interference, cashless bonds, etc)… and we had better not hear a single word of complaint out of your damnable mouths. Because this entire situation is your fault, your responsibility… Yours alone.
I’m a 68 year old combat veteran of Vietnam. I fought the communists overseas and what has changed in my mind is that we no longer have to travel overseas to fight them again. Gun owners are going to be put in the position of having to make some hard decvisions. Are you going to comply with their gun band or, are you going to risk everything to resist? Resistance means that a lot of good people are going to get hurt. Compliance means too that a lot of good people are going to get hurt. Biden got five student deferments and a medical for asthma that he had as a teenager, just to keep from going to Vietnam. He is a coward and now he as President wants to disarm anyone who has an AR style weapon. He will lie again on January 20th when he swears to uphold and defend the Constitution. Like I said gunowners are going to have some hard decisions to make. Either way, it could be a tragety.
It comes down to “live in slavery and fear or die honorably resisting oppression”
Looks like a lot of cry me a river Republicans are sore losers and a lot of the mentality of try and take my guns and there will be trouble “ guess we can get rid of some of you “ and voting for joe and not paying attention to his policy ( I think it was to get rid of the idiot trump was why joe got voted in. If you abide by the law you have nothing to fear, if you don’t stiff teddy bears.
That’s a really long run-on sentence. You need to use a a coordinating conjunction or proper punctuation, such as a period or a semicolon. Thank you, and have a great day!
Hey EasyEddy,
Why are you giving a lesson in English Comp? You sound like one of them with a hint of Karen. You didn’t like what he said so you gave him a piece of your mind to try and make him look foolish, when in fact you gave them the same ignorant type of response they try giving us. I’m just saying think before you get sucked in to their negative comments. Thanks
“If you abide by the law you have nothing to fear”
Gee, I think that’s what the Nazis in Germany said when they implemented gun control. How did that work out for the Germans?
That drivel you wrote is totally incoherent. Please start taking your meds again and get some help. While you are at it, finish grade school and try learning a little about English grammar, syntax and punctuation.
More DRIVEL from the same sort of Brain-dead moron who actually VOTED for this Alzheimer’s Poster-Child and the lying, vile, sack of subhuman, anti-American garbage that will actually be the Pretender-In-Chief! Clowns like you have your head so far up your own rear-end that you DESERVE exactly what you have asked for! Remember your own words four years from now! THEN tell us how much you love the Marxist scum!
Your a complete idiot!
Anthony it’s obvious that you have probably never created a business, worked for yourself or had any serious responsibilities of leadership in your life. If yo had then you would have voted on results, and our countries future. Instead you and the rest of the anti American Dems, chose to go along with riots, violence against fellow citizens, and a total submission to the MSM and the tech world corruption of our system. The way we have always voted was changed to allow Biden to BS his way once again into a position of power. Democrats like you Anthony unfortunately hate trump more then you love your country. 20 plus million illegals are laughing today knowing that the corrupt Biden and his left wing nuts, will do everything they can to allow them to have a stake in our country’s future going forward. What a mess.
And just as predicted in the very first paragraph of this article, HEEEEERRREEE’s Anthony!
What an illiterate dweeb, with such an obvious lack of education and logic, why would any sensible human listen to your opinion????
And whom were you quoting????
Bad Troll! Bad!
Son, you are an idiot, I know you have heard that many times, but it needs to be repeated.
Just some thoughts.
And one solution.
1 – The great divide in the country over gun rights is not between states.
It is between Cities and the country side. Urban v Rural.
If not for Atlanta – Ga would be Republican
If not for Pheonix AZ would be Repub
If not for Detroit MI would be
Etc.
And Trump would be Pres. again.
2 – I know of no Police here who are going to come for my guns.
But I live in Tenn.
Having said that:
I have tested a system for hiding my guns.
Several guns – AR, Lever, Pistols, Revolvers, ammo, etc.
I did this storage test for 1yr of storage(4 seasons) in a wet wooded area in East Tenn.
Rain, snow, sleet, heat,……
Actually I just laid it “on” the ground, under a log in a wet area of my woods.
Water running thru it.
So I know it got really wet – often. And at times submerged.
At times frozen, etc.
My Storage/Hide system:
– 8in PVC Pipe say 5ft long.
– Cap one end – seal with PVC Cement.
– Install Screw cap in other end – for access.
– Put guns in Water-Tight bags – you can buy them for guns.
– Put dessicant bags inside plastic bags. Close bag.
– Put bags in Pipe.
– Bury Pipe out back.
One problem is you usually cant buy 4ft long 8″ pipe.
Have to get 10ft or 20ft stalks.
So – Not Cheap – but it works.
Whatever works for you, I guess: Frankly, I think any knucklehead with a metal detector could and would find your firearms that way, but what do I know? Also, if you “Hide” them, you would have a tough time USING them, it seems too me. So, I wish you all the best, but I don’t plan on hiding mine; I plan to point them in the correct direction and USE them. I’ve HAD IT with “Hiding”!
Who knows what is going to happen and what you are going to need and when?
This was a “Test of Concept” project not a “Need”.
Maybe at your Bug-out location. Who knows?
I left it above ground to be sure it would be submerged
and subject to the 4 seasons.
As a Heavy Chem Plant Constn Engineer I have “Buried” more
than my share of pipe systems.
As for “your” particular circumstances and the need or not
that is up to you.
Just saying – “This” option/system works.
On getting-to and using them – I can unscrew the cap in about 5 sec.
Also not planning to “hide” “everything” I have – I will always have access
to at least 2 guns. 1 Pistol, 1 Long Gun.
1 Pistol to “fight-to” my long gun.
Should you decide to hide/bury your self-defense hardware, the question you (and all of us) MUST be able to answer is: “what will it take for you to dig them up?”
Anybody who is a democrat, supports democrat policy, or votes democrat is actually a subversive socialist. America has reached the tipping point. We are witnessing the destruction of a republic.
Yup. Well said! Only one thing left now, that has not yet happened, and MUST, for history to fully repeat itself.
Sniffy Joe and the Skanky Ho need to get a decisive demonstration of WHY we have a 2nd Amendment in the first place. It was intended to allow Americans to put would-be tyrants in their proper place.
EXACTLY! And it is coming!
Every gun owner that voted for Biden should lose their firearms. That’s how blind and stupid some people are. They actually voted for him and either overlooked his plans or even worse ignored and just voted for him because he was a democrat. Elections have consequences. This is a huge one.
It is important to remember the Bill of Rights were never a gracious assignment of rights by a benevolent federal government. We should avoid distractions by the endless mutterings and debates about what those rights entail and instead remind our elected reps they must conduct themselves under the constraints clearly defined in these statements of constraints (bill of rights). A right thinking SCOTUS has and will continue to be the vanguard of such, do we have a right thinking SCOTUS? We will see. ANY infringement is nothing less than an escape attempt, throwing off the binds of the written law. We should act accordingly for hard choices are coming and the debates over how these rights are defined will mean little.
The Dems have perpetrated the biggest voter suppression scam in US history . God help us all !
Trump hasn’t conceded and skeptics should watch and tremble at what happens next.
Exactly why the GOP has to keep a majority in the Senate. I’m sure whatever they do will be challenged in the Judiciary and likely end up at the US Supreme Court.
If Trump is denied a second term and the Dems take the White House, then it’ll be a sad day in the US.
Yeah, a sad day, It will be even sadder few years after that.
What the hell has the republicrats done, that make you think they will do anything except roll over and give in?
Don’t hold any hope of them keeping the senate. There are 30,000 Dominator voting machines in Ga. Which is why we are even in a run off. The winning number will be installed and Hugo Chavez will win, again.
While I also am disappointed in the republicans lack of support for President Trump, they are infinitely superior to the dems.
