Biden: We will ban assault weapons, create buy-back program

Former Vice President Joe Biden, now running for president, took partial credit for getting “assault weapons” and “high capacity magazines” banned for ten years, in 1994.

And if elected president, he promised to go even further than that by not only banning such weapons but by removing them from their lawful owners.

Biden made the comments at a campaign rally in Iowa on Tuesday.

“American history is not a fairytale,” Biden said, launching into America’s founding and the stain of slavery and the persistence of “racism.”

Later in his speech, Biden blamed Trump for “doing nothing – nothing about the epidemic of guns that is fueling a literal carnage in America.”

It got votes which was the entire mission. They don’t actually care about guns or anything else, just power. “The issue is never the issue...”

Slow-Joe needs to keep teaching his “get a shotgun” lesson and blow off two rounds from your balcony to scare away home invaders. But how do we change the Constitution to ensure we all own balconies?

I have a 70 year old 1911 pistol that shoots so rapid fire you would think it a smg. The whole gun debate is ridiculous.

"They can’t “buy back” what they don’t own, nor have a right to own. This is CONFISCATION and tyranny."

Exactly! They take control of the language, making it difficult to have an honest discussion.

Actually, they believe all the money is theirs and they're just letting you use it.

The first gun control laws were passed (by democrats) to keep blacks from owning or possessing firearms.

So now gun owners are racists? Wow. These guys just make it up as they go along without fear of being challenged or confronted. Totally disconnected from any semblance of reality.

I guess it is time to reread “Unintended Consequences” by John Ross, just to get me in the proper mindset.

Joe, if you ban “assault weapons” how will you do a buy-back scheme when everything will be on fire?

I’m proud to be an American Rebel, in that case. Make it count.

No, it isn’t. Far from it. This fight hasn’t even begun yet.

They banned ALL guns in Mexico. Looks like that is working well for them.

But you go ahead Joe, the blowback will be severe. FU!

To ‘create a buy-back program’ like Australia, you need to implement a special tax to fund it.

I imagine that went over well with Iowans... Farm country and he’d have trouble finding a farmer without several weapons. Lots of luck, Joe. Talk about being tone deaf.
