Democrats say Biden-Harris is the ‘strongest gun safety ticket in history,’ Republicans fear Second Amendment crackdown

Brady United, one of the highest-profile gun control groups in the U.S., billed Biden and Harris as “the strongest gun safety ticket in history” while promoting a virtual event during the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last week. The National Rifle Association (NRA), the most notable pro-Second Amendment group in the U.S., on its website called Biden-Harris the “most anti-gun presidential ticket in history.”
...
“Joe Biden has a very unique history on the gun safety issue,” Peter Ambler, the executive director of Giffords, a pro-gun control organization led by former Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., said. “Not only has he come up against the NRA twice and won, which was sort of the primary selling point for his candidacy in the primary and one of the reasons he is the nominee today.
...
Biden’s record on gun control, just like his time in Washington, D.C., is lengthy. As Ambler said, Biden backed two major gun control bills as a senator in the 1990s, an assault weapons ban and the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act. But it doesn’t stop there. Biden, as vice president, forged a personal relationship with Giffords, who was shot in Arizona in 2011, and with the parent of one of the Parkland, Fla., shooting victims. He was also on the ground in the wake of the massacre in Newtown, Conn.

As far as Harris’ history, she’s generally supported gun control legislation as a senator. She also signed a Supreme Court brief in the 2008 D.C. v. Heller case that argued “the Second Amendment provides only a militia-related right to bear arms” and “the Second Amendment does not apply to legislation passed by state or local governments.”

Perhaps most notably, Biden and Harris would aim to institute a ban on the manufacture and sale of “assault weapons,” which are loosely defined as guns that include features like a pistol grip or a threaded barrel, yet have the same semiautomatic rate of fire and fire the same ammunition as their non-assault weapon counterparts. The Biden-Harris platform would require existing assault weapons to be registered with the ATF under the National Firearms Act or be bought back by the government.

“I think Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, based on all of their experience, really understand the nuances of this issue, understand that it’s not just obviously getting these pieces of legislation passed that we’ve talked about, but it’s also how ATF enforces the laws and making sure we have agencies with real teeth that will serve the interest of the public,” Kris Brown, the president of Brady United, said.
...
Brady has vocally opposed Trump, particularly on the issue of judges, and endorsed Biden earlier this year. Brown last week said that she believes with Biden and Harris in the White House, those who favor gun control will be able to make significant progress in passing laws they’ve long promoted, particularly thanks to Biden’s legislative skills.

“He knows how to get these things done, how to count the votes, and how to message around this issue,” she said. “And certainly so does Sen. Harris. So I think the combination of the two, what I know they will do to focus on these issues, is critically important given the amount of work that we know we need to do in 2021 and beyond to actually meaningfully reduce gun violence in this country.”

"Brady United"? Are they still around? I thought they shriveled up and drifted away years ago when Sarah was caught buying a rifle for her kid.

 

A high profile gun control organization? I call bs. They are irrelevant. They even have to get the Giffords gal to tote their water. This whole 'announcement' is more than likely a ploy to try for more money from the usual suspects and lack-brain cry babies.
