GLOVES ARE OFF: Joe Biden Vows to ‘Defeat the NRA’

Joe Biden vows to defeat the NRA

Joe Biden vowed to “defeat the NRA” in a recent statement recognizing the tenth anniversary of Gabby Giffords’ shooting.

Biden’s statement revisited the details of the attack, which left six dead and others wounded in 2011.

In his statement, Biden praised Giffords for her relentless pursuit to ban guns following her ordeal.

The statement reads:

As President, I pledge to continue to work together with Congresswoman Giffords, and with survivors, families, and advocates across the country, to defeat the NRA and end the epidemic of gun violence in America.”

Washingtontimes.com reports: “Like so many survivors of violence, Gabby has turned tragedy into purpose, working with other leaders across the country to transform the fight for gun safety reform from a cause to a movement,” the president-elect wrote. “Every day she fights to make our communities safer and move us closer to our goal of a nation free from gun violence.”

The NRA responded to Mr. Biden in a tweet Sunday urging gun owners to “stay vigilant” in defending their right to bear arms under the incoming administration.

“On Friday, Biden pledged to DEFEAT THE NRA,” the group wrote. “Biden wants to ban our semi-auto rifles, tax our guns/mags & more. He knows the only thing standing in his way to DISMANTLE THE 2ND AMENDMENT is NRA. Gun owners must stay vigilant & be engaged in elections and the legislative process.”

As president, Mr. Biden has promised to ban the manufacture and sale of so-called “assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines, as well as institute a national buyback program so owners of existing “weapons of war” can either sell them to the government or register them under the National Firearms Act, according to his campaign website.

Mr. Biden also wants to limit the number of firearms people can buy to one per month in order to prevent the stockpiling of weapons, and he wants to prohibit all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits, and gun parts. He also said he wants to “put America on the path to ensuring that 100% of firearms sold in America are smart guns” and that he will “issue a call to action for gun manufacturers, dealers, and other public and private entities to take steps to accelerate our transition to smart guns.”

    • Seriously be careful saying stuff like that unless you want secret service at your door. I dont like Jojo either but…

  1. Its another profit driven lie Here rhey banned guns following the totally suspicious shooting in Piet Arthur and now the black market has in fact meant more guns than ever are around and the black market economies even stronger That’s what they really like to do Remove taxes from the government so strangling it to death They pretend all sorts of goodness qbout it ,but it’s a lie . it creates black markets and privatised tax collection into their mobs pickets and robs it from we the people And you Canon sure predict EXACTLY which mob will have all the guns and which we the people will have none .All contrilked by corrupt cops .

  2. Remember Operation Fast & Furious Joe? MS-13 being given guns by the obummernation? What plans to you have to relieve criminals of their weapons, or are you only targeting law-abiding citizens?

  3. Over our dead bodies. Good luck Jojo, youll certainly need it because God isnt on your side. Youre gonna have a bloodbath if you think you can take our guns away
