Pro Dems gun owners (new owners in the days of Trump) are claiming all the anti-gun talk from Biden is just election campaign rubbish.
However, Uncle Joe is boasting about the 1994 gun-ban. I do not trust him, especially if he won big.

I'm with ya. And a huge part of it is that I don't think Biden will be the author of a Biden policy platform. His already glitch-prone mental capacity ain't what it used to be, and I have no real doubt that, if elected, his Executive Order pen will be swift and the hands moving it will not be his own...so there won't be any concern over Biden's "legacy," only using the Oval Office as a tool to get leftist agendas accomplished. Whether or not SCOTUS still has honorable sitting justices to interpret the Constitution as actually written, there is still a lot of damage that can be done via executive order.

The two oldest Supremes are RGB, who turned 88 last March and we all know is in declining health, and Stephen Breyer, who turns 82 in two weeks (a Clinton appointee and who in 2006 said that in assessing a law's constitutionality, while some of his colleagues "emphasize language, a more literal reading of the [Constitution's] text, history and tradition," he looks more closely to the "purpose and consequences"). :shock: We need those two seats replaced with Constitutionalists, textualists, not leftist revisionists. I'll bet you good money that had Hillary been in office, RGB would have retired by now. And if Biden gets in, that Breyer will retire. So a Biden presidency could realistically have two SCOTUS appointees early in the term. Next on the age-out list would be Clarence Thomas; he just turned 72 last June, so hopefully he and his conservative judicial philosophies have several more good years to hang in there.

If Republicans lose both the White House and the Senate, and Biden gets to replace two Supremes year one, God help us all.

That's absolutely correct. The democrat's anti-gun legislation has probably already been written with guidance from Pelosi, Schumer, Maxine Waters, Feinstein, and Bloomberg, et. al.

I think you are both right and wrong. Biden's position on guns has been written and announced publicly. You might recall that he said he would put Beto in charge of it. And Beto's position was "Hell yes, we are coming to get them."

That tells me all I need to know about Biden's position.
