In response to Gifford tweet., Biden wrote on his Twitter account:
“@GabbyGiffords – Your perseverance and immeasurable courage continue to inspire me and millions of others. I pledge to continue to work with you – and with survivors, families, and advocates across the country – to defeat the NRA and end our epidemic of gun violence.”
This statement sounds quite different from his statements on the campaign trail. He insisted that while he supports buy-back gun control programs for high capacity weapons; he is not interested in confiscating the guns of legal licensed American gun owners. This statement, unfortunately, conjures images of throwing a gauntlet down to directly attack the public’s Second Amendment right.
The NRA has responded in kind, writing on its website and in a tweet:
“Well, here we go again. Once more, the fight is on to protect the Second Amendment. This issue will go to print before the litigation is finished, so this could certainly change, but as it stands, it seems as if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be the next president and vice president of the United States. Once inaugurated, they will begin a concerted attack on the rights of American gun owners. We must be ready for the onslaught.”
On Friday, Biden pledged to DEFEAT THE NRA.
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.
