An attorney and Second Amendment advocate is warning gun owners they will be the political victims of a Biden administration but predicts there is a weapon to help fight anti-gun politicians: the filibuster.
Mike Hammond, legislative counsel for Gun Owners of America, tells One News Now that GOA was warning American voters before Election Day that the Biden-Harris ticket was not hiding its plans to ban the manufacture and sale of AR-15 semi-auto rifles and the 30-round magazines made for them. The then-Democrat candidate promised he would give those current gun owners a choice: hand in your now-illegal Palmetto State or Smith and Wesson rifle in a buyback program, or register it under the National Firearms Act.

The then-Democrat candidate promised he would give those current gun owners a choice: hand in your now-illegal Palmetto State or Smith and Wesson rifle in a buyback program, or register it under the National Firearms Act.
In fact, days before Election Day, Gun Owners published an eye-opening post that literally cut and pasted the from Biden’s campaign website.
In an Oct. 7 story, One News Now also quoted from the Biden campaign website to alert readers what the Democratic nominee was promising. The campaign website states
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.
“I think their agenda is clearly draconian,” Hammond tells One News Now. “It’s clear that Biden’s intent is to essentially eliminate the Second Amendment.”
Biden would likely respond to Hammond’s claim by telling the GOA spokesman he’s “full of [expletive]” and claim he supports the Second Amendment, just as Biden told a Detroit auto plant worker last year during a brief but tense exchange caught on video. In that confrontation, Biden questioned the need for a firearm that holds 100 rounds and said the Second Amendment is not “absolute,” then claimed he was not “taking your gun away at all.”
Responding to the coming Biden-Harris administration, Second Amendment Foundation founder Alan Gottlieb warns the Second Amendment should not be ignored or tossed aside.
“It’s the teeth in the Bill of Rights,” he says, “that protects the whole Bill of Rights: your right to speak, your right to assemble, your right to practice your religion.”
It is common, he adds, that people who want to snatch away one of those constitutional rights are not satisfied with just one but come after the others, too.
In a new TV ad, Gottlieb and SAF are warning the public about what is coming from a Biden-led White House and urging Second Amendment supporters to join their group to be a “Second Amendment First Responder.” A text to 47-47-47 signs you up.
According to Hammond, Biden’s very-public plan to force gun owners to register their firearms reminds him of gun registration and permits that were required in Nazi-led Germany.
Many historians and especially astute Second Amendment advocates can recall Germany’s history of gun control laws which pre-dated Hitler’s rise to power. The restrictions dated back to the 1920s, after the Treaty of Versailles, but they became more restrictive by the 1930s when rebellious Communists were fighting the fascist Nazis on the public streets and public safety was at risk.
“It’s very much like Germany on the eve of Kristallnacht,” Hammond says of the current political climate, “and it’s a very nasty situation.”
“Kristallnacht,” which means “Night of Broken Glass,” occurred in November of 1938 when the Brownshirts rampaged through Jewish neighborhoods, ransacking thousands of businesses and burning hundreds of synagogues, and murdering those who resisted.
The anti-Jewish gun law went into effect the day after Kristallnacht.
According to Hammond, what is standing between gun owners and gun registration is a few Democrats who oppose eliminating the filibuster, which would give the Democrats enormous power if they can toss it aside as planned.
No gun owner should be happy they are depending on a handful of Democrats, Hammond says.
“On the other hand,” he adds, “if you’re falling off a cliff, you grab onto whatever ledge you have.”

We must keep in mind: #1 The Democrats LIE, there objective is to take total control of our country.
The dishonorable Democrat Party revolves around and its philosophy is based on Control, Lies, Hate, Cons, Deceptions, Immorality and the lack of Integrity, Ethics or Honor.
As we have see, the dishonorable Democrats will DO or SAY ANYTHING to gain total control of our country and by the help of fools, useful idiots and sheeple the Democrats are winning this battle…….. Comrade.
“they give the option to folks, either be forced to register it, or sell it back to the government”.
SORRY BUT THE GOVT failed its backround check!
The Democrats all vote lock and step. I am sick and tired of hearing about the moderates, in the Democrat Party. Look at Joe Manchin, who talks a good line, as a so called moderate and then he votes lock and step with Chuck Schumer and Pelosi. Plus, the filibuster is going to be done away with. Good by Second Amendment rights and good by freedom. Just remember, the criminals are given more rights, by the Democrats, than the law abiding citizens. What does one expect from communists?
First the NAZIs offered free universal government Healthcare, then they took away the guns, then they burned the books, then they took away the livelihoods of their opponents in propaganda accusations followed by outright Kristallnacht attacks on their businesses and police. When the Lad Biden administration takes over it will no longer be just 1938 Germany in America, but soon April 1945. Lad Biden already is staging the rallies that led to the Fuhrer going out of office not in battle array, but by self-inflicted wounds hiding below ground in his basement concrete hell hole surrounded by the same barriers that now are being erected in our Berlin walled Capitol of Washington D.C. to protect his pretender inauguration. You just got to love that National SOCIALISM,,,,NOT! Our Creator designed us for better things, and freedom from such Progressive Social regression back into the jungle of survivor of the fittest beguilers.
CROOKS in charge, always take care of crooks who vote for them…

Trying to confiscate all the semi-automatic weapons (Socially politically redefined as assault weapons) now in the hands of millions of American patriots, is like trying to close the barn door after the horse has already escaped. If you leave a Patriot with just one weapon, within the week he will get the rest back and perhaps more. What these mindless Democrat collectives of the weak fail to realize in their attempts to intimidate the American Strong via their real intentions and goals of defunding their opponents in traditional National socialist party wealth redistribution of just getting socially tax richer by fines and confiscation, will rush back upon themselves to their own destruction, just like in 1775-76.
On April 19, 1775, the first day of the American Revolutionary War, provincial minutemen and militia companies numbering approximately 400 engaged roughly 90 British Army troops at the Bridge in Concord Massachusetts. The British had hoped to surround the barns where the Patriot minutemen had stores of guns and ammunition, but ended up getting surrounded themselves. I have walked the path back from Concord to Boston and advise Lad Biden to do the same. He will notice the marked graves and places where the British soldiers fell. Do not let loose the Kraken, as he always eventually eats the very ones who do.
IMO the difference between now and then, BACK THEN, they didn’t have the cops, the fbi, ATF, CIA, and military WORKING ON THEIR SIDE…
While attempting to grab the AR, what are you going to do about the 12 gauge and the 1911?
TAKE them too. most likely!
If you’re planning to send Bean-O, we’ll leave the lights on so the bears can see him.
Totalitarian one-party countries can not come into being when the citizens are armed. That is exactly why the Second Amendment was put into the Bill of Rights. Registration is usually the first step to confiscation. So, you will be given a choice here: Sell your gun to the government thereby “voting” to loose your freedom. Or, register your gun only to have it confiscated one day and loose your freedom that way. Alternatively you could simply interpret the Second Amendment exactly as it is written:
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.”
Choose wisely, Patriot.
THAT assumes we get courts to RULE ON OUR SIDE this time… With the sheer # of instances, the SCOTUS has punted or flat out REFUSED to hear anti-gun law cases, i have LITTLE hope they WILL rule on our side…
So when the Second Amendment is as clear as it is why do you need to courts to rule on “our side”? Your comment, Ituser, makes it sound like you need permission from the government to exercise the rights granted to you by the Bill of Rights. On this issue what really does any ruling matter if you want to remain a free man able to defend himself? The courts are supposed to follow the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land.
IT is clear. BUT THEN look at the sheer # of laws, that RESTRICT THAT.. AND MOST THE SCOTUS has upheld as ok/
There’s days i wonder. IF WE could speak to the spirits of the THOUSANDS OF veterans who died, to ‘ensure our freedoms’, and ask them “SEEING HOW shanked up our nation has become, WOULD YOU STILL have signed up to make the ultimate sacrifice”?? How many of them would reply “HELL NO”?
So, the FILIBUSTER is going to stop the democrats from slapping a yearly tax of $200-per semi-auto rifle and every 10+ round magazine that you own?
Excuse me while I die laughing.
Don’t expect the Supreme Court to protect us either. They’ve already proven themselves to be as feckless as hell.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see the dems also try to TAX the hell out of AMMO, and make you REGISTER the ammo purchases too..
