Biden is aiming to eviscerate the Second Amendment, burn it down to irrelevance. There is no question about his intention to attack it via support for anti-Second Amendment bills, executive actions, and, given the opportunity, to put solidly anti-Second Amendment Justices on the Supreme Court and when filling vacancies in Federal courts.
Biden has opposed expanding the Supreme Court (“packing” the Court) and the circuit courts with politically-driven appointments, a proposal being pushed by prominent Democrats and liberal political organizations. The aim is to ensure their agenda, including gun control, passes judicial muster, regardless of constitutional conflicts. If Democrats control Congress, this strategy will be in play, regardless of Biden’s position. Harris, who is, as they say, only a heartbeat away from being President, has said she is “open” to packing the court.
Given the already shameful treatment the Second Amendment has received by SCOTUS in the past decade under Chief Justice Roberts, and particularly this past year, anti-2A appointments would ensure the Second Amendment’s relegation to a second class right, able to be ignored for the most part by anti-2A politicians, essentially neutered.
Over his 47 years as a politician Biden has endorsed virtually every proposal, no matter how outrageous, to limit gun ownership and destroy the Second Amendment through bans, burdensome regulations, executive orders and confiscations.
The loss of Second Amendment rights by way of his and Harris’ anti-gun agenda would be certain to disadvantage knife owners as we fight to oppose irrational restrictions on our knives. And, as we have seen elsewhere in the world, once firearms are heavily restricted or banned, knife restrictions and bans follow. |
