\"That
Biden supported a bill that rolled back gun control. (Photo: Joe Biden Facebook)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If elected on November 3, former Vice President Joe Biden will pursue the most comprehensive gun control scheme in the history of the United States. His plan includes banning \u201cassault weapons\u201d and \u201chigh-capacity\u201d magazines, enacting universal background checks, and prohibiting the online sale of ammunition and gun parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there was a time in the not-so-distant past when then-Sen. Biden was singing a different song. In 1986, Congress passed the Firearm Owners Protection Act to roll back the most extreme restrictions imposed by the Gun Control Act of 1968 \u2013 and Biden was one of the bill\u2019s supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more, during the debate on the Senate floor<\/a>, Biden praised the National Rifle Association and expressed doubt in the ability of gun control laws to reduce crime.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI give credit to Senator Hatch and the National Rifle Association for their willingness to compromise and develop a revised bill that would strike a fair balance between unnecessary restrictions and regulations on lawful ownership of rifles and handguns and the legitimate interests of law enforcement in carrying out their responsibilities,\u201d he said in July of 1986.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring my twelve-and-half years as a member of this body, I have never believed that additional gun control or federal registration of guns would reduce crime,\u201d he continued. \u201cI am convinced that a criminal who wants a firearm can get one through illegal, untraceable, unregistered sources, with or without gun control. In my opinion a national register or ban of handguns would be impossible to carry out and may not result in reductions in crime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a few years after making these statements, Biden was pushing the 1994 \u201cassault weapon\u201d ban. The ban prohibited a variety of semi-automatic firearms, but it did not reduce crime and cost the Democrats control of Congress that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, along with promoting his radical anti-gun platform, Biden brags<\/a> that he\u2019s \u201ctaken on the National Rifle Association (NRA) on the national stage and won \u2013 twice.\u201d During a February debate in South Carolina, he took aim<\/a> at both the NRA and gun manufacturers: \u201cIf I’m elected \u2014 NRA, I’m coming for you, and gun manufacturers, I’m gonna take you on and I’m gonna beat you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s defenders say his stance on gun control has \u201cevolved.\u201d This article<\/a> from the Everytown publication The Trace<\/em>, for example, uses that language, and argues that Biden has just followed the evolving opinions of the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Biden\u2019s reversal is extreme\u2014even by Washington\u2019s standards. His position moved from blasting gun control as ineffective to pursuing more gun control than any other presidential candidate. Biden was unable to implement his agenda as vice president, but if Democrats take control of the Senate and he wins the White House, he\u2019ll have the chance to make his flip-flop complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
