NRA Bids Fond Farewell to Joe Biden

President Joe Biden is just a matter of days away from unemployment. Then again, he’s well past any reasonable mandatory retirement age you can imagine and the reason he’s been on his way out for months is that his mind ain’t what it should be.

Regardless, in four years, he’s done a lot.

A lot of damage, that is, particularly to the Second Amendment.

As we think about both the infringement-riddled past and the hopefully glorious future, it’s time to bid a fond farewell to Joe, and by “fond farewell,” I mean “we’re glad to see him go.”

That seems to be the same thing the NRA had in mind when they recounted some of his “greatest” anti-gun hits.

A complicit mainstream media has heralded Joe Biden as a groundbreaking president, and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D) even said he should be put on Mount Rushmore; but let’s cut through the spin and look at what he did (and tried to do) to our constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms.

Biden Established an Anti-Gun Federal Office
In 2023, Biden created the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which was to be overseen by Kamala Harris and staffed with noted anti-Second Amendment activists.

The purpose of this office “is to employ professional gun-control advocates and amplify their propaganda and agenda with taxpayer dollars,” as reported by the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (ILA).

“The White House Office of so-called ‘Gun Violence Prevention’ is yet another distraction, crafted to divert America’s and the media’s gaze from the Biden crime wave and their soft-on-crime policies destroying our communities. Instead of confronting the real challenges and holding accountable the DAs who turn a blind eye to crime, this administration unfairly targets law-abiding citizens exercising their Second Amendment rights. It’s becoming increasingly clear that this office is a puppeteering maneuver by the gun control lobby, designed to dismantle our Second Amendment rights,” said NRA-ILA Executive Director Randy Kozuch.

Biden Forced through Anti-Gun Legislation
The dubiously named Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) has a friendly name, but it was not written to make us safer. The BSCA was used to strip federal funding for archery and hunting programs in schools and amended the definition of “engaged in business” to include virtually anyone who transfers a firearm, thus requiring them to obtain a federal firearms license.

They also took the time to point out how Biden lied when he characterized the gun industry as the only industry that couldn’t be sued. It most definitely can, just not for things they didn’t do wrong. You can’t sue Glock because someone got shot with a gun they made, which is how it should be. No one should sue Toyota because their car got t-boned by a Camry.

Oh, and they mentioned the Hunter pardon as part of Biden’s history of lying.

Still, the truth of the matter is that the piece is a pretty decent summary of what transpired over the last four years. It’s not complete, though. It doesn’t get into the executive orders Biden churned out with great regularity, including those that tried to make things difficult for companies that supplied materials to folks so they could build guns at home.

With hope, Trump will repeal all of those on day one–Biden did the same thing when he took office, so there’s precedent–and put an end to that nonsense. That would also wipe out the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, an office that’s nothing but a jobs program for anti-gunners and does nothing to actually try and prevent so-called gun violence.

We’ll a have to see what the future holds, but knowing that it won’t be a mirror of the past is a big enough win.
