“The year 2021 may be recalled as a year loaded with important stories revolving around the Second Amendment, but by far the most significant gun rights story of the year is about what didn’t happen: Joe Biden’s anti-gun agenda stalled on the runway of reality.”
The year 2021 may be recalled as a year loaded with important stories revolving around the Second Amendment, but by far the most significant gun rights story of the year is about what didn’t happen: Joe Biden’s anti-gun agenda stalled on the runway of reality.
When the Delaware Democrat took office, he was packing heavy luggage, known as “The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic.” It was ambitious, loaded with proposals such as bans on so-called “assault weapons and high capacity magazines,” a massive “gun buyback” (which made no sense since the government never owned those firearms to begin with), regulation of modern semi-auto rifles same as machine guns, a restriction on the number of firearms people could buy, incentives to states to require licenses in order to buy guns, expanded background checks and more.
There was just one problem. The public and Congressional Republicans weren’t buying what he was selling, and that much became obvious when, only a few months into his presidency, Biden nominated quite possibly the worst candidate for the job as director of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives: David Chipman.
