Many Americans would agree that Joe Biden has diminished their personal liberties more than any other President in recent memory.
For many, it feels as if the Constitution serves as nothing but a mild suggestion to Joe Biden and his cronies.
But Joe Biden’s latest move has patriotic Americans steaming with outrage.

The Joe Biden White House’s latest proposals have gun owners outraged
When drafting the Bill of Rights, the Founding Fathers deliberately put the right to bear arms towards the top of the list.
The Founders had just concluded a war with the world’s most powerful nation at the time, Great Britain, started in part over Britain’s attempt to disarm them.
They knew that a disarmed public allows a tyrannical government to do as they please.
Since the signing of the Bill of Rights, history has proven this notion time and time again.
Nearly every despotic regime over the past couple hundred years has made disarming the public a top priority, allowing them to trounce on the civil rights of everyday citizens.
With this in mind, Democrats have made so-called gun control a top policy priority, limiting gun rights every chance they get.
President Joe Biden has followed suit, routinely trashing guns and gun owners, proposing radical policies that would cause the Founders to turn in their graves.
Just last week, Joe Biden and his administration voiced their support for sweeping changes to federal law, which would present the most profound restrictions to the Second Amendment in recent memory.
On his official X account last Wednesday, the 81-year-old President tweeted, “It’s time we increase funding for law enforcement agencies to solve crimes faster.”
Joe Biden then listed some eye-opening desires, tweeting, “It’s time we establish universal background checks, require safe storage, and end immunity for the gun lobby.”
He then expressed his interest in banning so-called “assault weapons” and “high-capacity magazines,” adding that, “It’s time to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines like we did before.”
It’s time we increase funding for law enforcement agencies to solve crimes faster.
It’s time we establish universal background checks, require safe storage, and end immunity for the gun lobby.
It’s time to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines like we did before.

This tweet has predictably created a firestorm, both due to its ambiguous language, and the threat it presents to gun owners and the Second Amendment.
Joe Biden’s first point, “It’s time we increase funding for law enforcement agencies to solve crimes faster,” has many Americans wondering which law enforcement agencies he is referring to.
Just a few years ago, many on the left demanded that local and state law enforcement agencies receive less funding.
Many believe that Joe Biden’s tweet refers to federal law enforcement agencies, which many Americans agree are already bloated and over-funded.
In regards to Joe Biden’s second point, many fear that expanded background checks and federal requirements on safe storage would only serve to punish law-abiding gun owners.
After all, criminals rarely obtain their firearms via legal methods, and thus bypass background checks altogether. And threats to you and your loved ones aren’t going to pause for you to unlock your gun safe during a home invasion.
Then comes Joe Biden’s third point, which involves banning so-called “assault weapons” and “high capacity magazines.”
Such measures would pry so-called “high capacity magazines” and “assault-style weapons” from law-abiding gun owners, meaning that criminals would exclusively have access to these magazines and guns.
Additionally, Joe Biden and his allies often have a hard time defining a so-called “assault-style weapon” or so-called “high-capacity magazines” – a weapon they say looks scary or like those used by militaries and “clips” of 10 rounds are about as close to concrete definitions as you’ll get out of them.
Looking scary doesn’t make a weapon more or less deadly and a 10-round magazine is hardly a high capacity, considering that many commonly-owned handguns have 15-round magazines and the standard capacity magazine on AR-platform rifles – the most popular style of rifle – is 30 rounds.
Joe Biden’s tweet is part of his aggressive anti-gun campaign strategy
At the end of the day, Joe Biden and his allies would have a very hard time approving these gun control pipe dreams without strong majorities in both houses of Congress or a favorable Supreme Court.
Joe Biden and his team most likely know this, indicating that last week’s tweet more likely than not served as a campaign promise to anti-gun Americans.
Political experts agree that guns and the Left’s plans for so-called gun control will come up again and again as Election Day inches closer.
