Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer, said the Senate aide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">But publicly, Biden continued calling for restoring the assault weapons ban through March, in part out of respect for longtime crusaders like Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), fueling coverage that focused on discord within the Democratic Party.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>His site features crazy, illogical remarks like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Federal law prevents hunters from hunting migratory game birds with more than three shells in their shotgun. That means our federal law does more to protect ducks than children.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently Biden wants to do more than just ban all of the semi-auto firearms in existence, he wants to ban revolvers, too. His argument that standard capacity magazines are unconstitutional must hinge on the premise that they are &#8220;uncommon,&#8221; which they are not, something <a href=\"https:\/\/danaloesch.com\/huge-9th-circuit-rules-ca-mag-ban-is-unconstitutional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recently explored by the 9th Circuit Court<\/a>. It&#8217;s an unconstitutional proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also proposes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine-guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are <a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"https:\/\/giffords.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Giffords_GLC_assault-weapons_NFA.pdf\">rarely<\/a> used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What Biden proposes here is the creation of a national gun registry, where the federal government knows exactly what you have in your home. You would have to continually seek permission (and pay a fee of around $200) from the federal government every two years to keep your property. This will price out lower income brackets and make firearm ownership dependent upon finances. Poor people will not be able to own guns.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s campaign site also adds:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Biden will also institute a program to buy back weapons of war currently on our streets. This will give individuals who now possess assault weapons or high-capacity magazines two options: sell the weapons to the government, or register them under the National Firearms Act.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He proposes to use taxpayer dollars to purchase commonly-owned firearms from law-abiding people because, as I mentioned above, repeat offenders in illegal possession do not sell back their illegally-obtained and illegally carried firearms. This will do absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n<p>He adds:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Biden will enact universal background check legislation and close other loopholes that allow people who should be prohibited from purchasing firearms from making those purchases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden then stays he will criminalize private, legal transfers, meaning you cannot willingly choose to do with your property as you wish; Biden also ignores the Lautenberg Amendment which closed the so-called &#8220;boyfriend loophole.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden also wants to target seniors and veterans:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">In 2016, the Obama-Biden Administration finalized a rule to make sure the Social Security Administration (SSA) sends to the background check system records that it holds of individuals who are prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms because they have been adjudicated by the SSA as unable to manage their affairs for mental reasons. But one of the first actions Donald Trump took as president was to reverse this rule. President Biden will enact legislation to codify this policy.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Former President Obama instituted a rule during his terms in office which stripped Social Security beneficiaries of their due process (if beneficiaries so much as sought help with their finances) through an unelected bureaucrat <em>without<\/em> a mental health evaluation. The ACLU, a number of disability rights organizations, and numerous gun rights organizations stood together in opposition. President Trump rolled back this rule and restored due process rights to these beneficiaries. Citizens should not be discriminated against due to age or mental health issues that do no require legal intervention (like returning vets with PTS or people who need assistance with financial planning as they age). I previously covered Obama&#8217;s executive orders on gun control <a href=\"https:\/\/danaloesch.com\/a-thorough-fisking-of-obamas-executive-orders-on-gun-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also gets this wrong:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">The Charleston loophole allows people to complete a firearms purchase if their background check is not completed within three business days. Biden supports the proposal in the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2019, which extends the timeline from three to 10 business days. Biden will also direct the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to put on his desk within his first 100 days as president a report detailing the cases in which background checks are not completed within 10 business days and steps the federal government can take to reduce or eliminate this occurrence.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I covered this story <a href=\"https:\/\/danaloesch.com\/charleston-roof-would-have-failed-a-background-check\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quite<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/danaloesch.com\/bloomberg-pr-hack-lies-charleston-gun-purchase\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">extensively<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/radaronline.com\/celebrity-news\/charleston-massacre-dylann-storm-roof-arrested-felony-drug-charges-cocaine-meth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Roof was charged with felony possession<\/a> in February, 2015:<\/p>\n<p>According to South Carolina court documents exclusively obtained by Radar, Roof, 21, was arrested in Lexington County on felony charges of possession of cocaine, methamphetamine and LSD on February 28, 2015.<\/p>\n<p>This alone disqualified him from legal carry and purchase of a firearm. In South Carolina, you only have to be charged with a felony to lose your 2A right. Roof would have failed a background check to purchase a firearm.
