Expect to be scapegoated. Expect to be marginalized and villainized. This is because the president, and his close circle of advisors, don\u2019t see opposing views as points upon which to debate or even politely disagree. They must be crushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The late Charles Krauthammer, a political columnist, noted this. He&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tucson.com\/opinion\/national\/charles-krauthammer-conservatives-can-agree-that-liberals-are-stupid\/article_88c69db5-56a8-5515-9140-2304c5dbec93.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"presidents-enemies-label-started-with-firearms-industry-now-half-of-all-voters\" title=\"President's 'Enemies' Label Started with Firearms Industry, Now Half of All Voters\">wrote<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;in 2018, \u201cConservatives think liberals are stupid.

It escalates to hyperbole and outright lies. This is the reality the firearm industry has faced under the Biden administration. A Constitutionally-protected industry has been slandered by a president even as he passes off accusations and lies that even a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/restoring-america\/fairness-justice\/fact-check-biden-speech-crime-wilkes-barre\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"presidents-enemies-label-started-with-firearms-industry-now-half-of-all-voters\" title=\"President's 'Enemies' Label Started with Firearms Industry, Now Half of All Voters\"><strong>cursory examination<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0shows are untrue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/ny-cabelas-store-ropes-off-ammo-section-amid-confusion-over-new-gun-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"presidents-enemies-label-started-with-firearms-industry-now-half-of-all-voters\" title=\"President's 'Enemies' Label Started with Firearms Industry, Now Half of All Voters\">NY Cabela\u2019s Store Ropes Off Ammo Section Amid Confusion Over New Gun Laws<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That doesn\u2019t matter. The only thing that matters is that once President Biden fixes an \u201cenemy\u201d label, that group is targeted for elimination. For the firearm industry, this has meant an onslaught of political attacks and defiance of the Constitution the president swore to protect and defend. The right to keep and bear arms, affirmed as an individual right by the U.S. Supreme Court, is relegated to a second-class right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Biden has maligned the firearm industry by blaming them for rising crime rates. His Congressional allies&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/democrats-dismiss-key-details-in-gun-control-hearing\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"presidents-enemies-label-started-with-firearms-industry-now-half-of-all-voters\" title=\"President's 'Enemies' Label Started with Firearms Industry, Now Half of All Voters\">called<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;firearm manufacturing CEOs to Capitol Hill to denigrate them for lawful business, ignoring the fact that Congress and the Biden administration refuses to lock up criminals and put an end to spiraling crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Biden administration doesn\u2019t place blame for horrendous murders by deranged and truly evil criminals that prey on innocent victims. They instead scapegoat the firearm industry, going as far as to back far-fetched radical notions that not just Second Amendment freedoms must be limited, but also First Amendment free speech.
