Joe Biden plans to move quickly against guns, adding the issue to his list of first executive orders, according to his top policy aide.
Stef Feldman, the national policy director of Biden's presidential campaign, included the Democrat’s gun plan in a list of initial executive actions set to be unleashed after Inauguration Day.
Speaking in a Zoom briefing hosted by Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service, she said that Biden is planning to “make big, bold changes through executive action, not just on policing and climate like we talked about previously, but in healthcare and education on gun violence, on a range of issues.”
She added that “there's really a lot you can do through guidance and executive action.”
It is expected that Biden will use executive orders, especially if the Democrats don’t win both Georgia special Senate elections. Even with those, however, it would be a split chamber — making it difficult for him to push through liberal elements of his agenda, including gun control.
The mention of guns in his initial executive actions is already sparking concern in the industry, which is readying an aggressive lobbying campaign. “I’m going to be pretty busy,” said one top gun lobbyist.
During the campaign, Biden won the endorsement of former candidate Beto O'Rourke, who famously promised to grab everyone's AR-15.
While he calls his plan one aimed at ending “gun violence,” most of Biden’s ideas amount to limiting what people can buy or have. For example, he wants to end the sale of AR-15-style firearms (the most popular in the nation), regulate those that people already have, and limit the size of magazines those guns use.
Biden Executive order for Gun Control?
Pound Sand. We will keep ours. Period.
GO BIDEN - Time to end the GUN CULTURE in the US.
Once and for all!!!!
That’s why I’m boycotting the Georgia Senate elections, to ‘teach the GOP a lesson’ and END the Second Amendment at the same time!
Do I have that right?
So he’s going to start CW2 right off the bat, wonderful. Good, let’s get it over with.
Ain’t happening!

We will soon be learning about the word “courage”, and saving our Country. I received hundreds of thousands of legal votes more, in all of the Swing States, than did my opponent. ALL Data taken after the vote says that it was impossible for me to lose, unless FIXED!
Remember this?
"Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Pretty neat, huh?"
Well, of course...Everyone knows that the dreaded AR-15 is the weapon of choice for gang-bangers and drive-by shooters...The AR-15 is so, so easy to hide in your waistband or your pocket or under your car seat, you know.../S
Biteme-Ho did not win. If, and that is not what I expect to happen, they conquer the White House, whatever they say is equally not legitimate or legal. Further, EOs are not law and can only apply to the Executive Branch and not to free citizens.
Therefore, I would never comply to whatever bravo sierra oozes out of them.
Well, stupid American moron voters, welcome to the Biden Marxist People’s States of America. Chicom edition.
Think of all the school shootings and teens shooting in cities he will prevent by keeping families at home from defending themselves by exercising their rights under the Second Amendment. What a hero. /S
This is predictable. The first thing despots do when they seize power is disarm the public. It is a harbinger of other plans the democrats have in store, and with court-packing, a radical SCOTUS could be expected to negate the Second Amendment completely. Once that is achieved, armed resistance will be the only recourse.
This is great news. Bring the full leftist agenda. Either the idiots will like it, or they’ll wake up. No ambiguity going forward.
George Washington refused to be a king, and in the last 20 years, we’ve turned the presidency into a kingship.
BRING IT MOFO!
Well, Obama caused a lot of mischief with things like ‘operation choke point’ which sought to deny credit to gun makers and sellers. However, the Gun Control Acts of 1968 and of 1986 are pretty clear on what the Gov’t can and can’t do and Biden isn’t going to be successful in actually banning guns with just an executive order.
Democrats may yet realize the purpose of the 2nd Amendment.
It’s going to be interesting to see this. “I ban guns by EO” I remember the oath of enlistment in the military put support and defend the constitution before taking orders from the CIC. Does Joe want to test that?
..making it safer for China to invade
Well, it needs to be said. The left cheated to gain power. If there is no justice by the courts on that issue and they are put in power and then come after guns, Americans are going to have to decide, are they going to be patriots...or become sheep like British subjects already are...
How can there be any school shootings if nobody is in school?...............
This Ping List is for all things pertaining to infringes upon or victories for the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from the list.
