As President, he will secure passage of gun legislation to make our\nstudents safer, and he knows he can do it because he\u2019s defeated the National\nRifle Association twice before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biden will begin by\nsupporting \u201cassault weapons\u201d and \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazine bans, and his\ncampaign plans to release additional proposals in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/cory-booker-gun-control-proposal\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"biden-nra-hickenlooper-assault-weapons-ban\" title=\"Biden to Take Down NRA, Hickenlooper Talks Assault Weapons Ban and Gun Licensing\">Cory Booker Wants Nationalized Gun Licensing, One-Gun-a-Month, Universal Background Checks<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than harping on the NRA, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper got down to brass tacks. \u00a0Much like Senator Cory Booker\u2019s plan, Hickenlooper\u2019s <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@johnhickenlooper\/my-plan-for-gun-violence-prevention-c1e6ea2f350c\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"biden-nra-hickenlooper-assault-weapons-ban\" title=\"Biden to Take Down NRA, Hickenlooper Talks Assault Weapons Ban and Gun Licensing\" target=\"_blank\">proposal<\/a> would require national gun licensing and require gun owners to pass safety tests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All gun owners would be required to obtain a national gun license (and renew every five years), but gun owners born after 2001 would also be required, after turning 21, to pass a \u201cgun safety and storage training\u201d class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost hunters go through hunter safety classes to obtain a\nhunting license, so it reasons we should expand this practice across guns that\nare even more potentially dangerous than a hunting rifle,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with national licensing, Hickenlooper wants to ban \u201cassault\nweapons,\u201d limit magazine capacity, ban the sale of \u201csilencers,\u201d outlaw 3-D\nprinted guns, repeal the Protection of\nLawful Commerce in Arms Act, mandate safe storage, and fold the ATF into\nthe FBI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/nationwide-magazine-ban\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"biden-nra-hickenlooper-assault-weapons-ban\" title=\"Biden to Take Down NRA, Hickenlooper Talks Assault Weapons Ban and Gun Licensing\">Democrats Propose Nationwide 10+ Round Magazine Ban<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>He also goes after concealed carry reciprocity, a policy\nmost presidential candidates have thus far ignored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If concealed carry reciprocity is enacted, \u201cauthorities in\nmajor cities with robust gun safety laws would be forced to accept much-less\nstringent concealed carry permits from very different places,\u201d he says. \u201cStandards\nto receive concealed carry permits in Alabama are very different than those in\nChicago, but under concealed carry reciprocity, they would be treated the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hickenlooper is polling so low that he doesn\u2019t even register on most presidential surveys. Biden, on the other hand, has remained the prohibitive favorite since announcing his candidacy, and enjoys a double-digit lead over most of his opponents. His support of \u201cassault weapons\u201d and \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazine bans comes as no surprise, but his full gun control proposal could set the agenda for a potential Democrat-controlled Congress post-2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> race between Democratic presidential candidates to run the most anti-gun campaign is in full swing, and this week former Vice President Joe Biden and former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper entered the fray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":110583,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,593,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-110579","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-jordan-michaels","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Biden to Take Down NRA, Hickenlooper Talks Assault Weapons Ban and Gun Licensing<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Joe Biden is hoping his anti-gun track record can get him the nomination, and Gov.
