(Ammoland.com) - Democrat presidential hopeful Joe Biden has plans for American gun owners that are spelled out in a 3,100-word agenda found on his campaign website that includes a ban on so-called "assault weapons," background checks on all gun sales and transfers, restrictions on the number of firearms someone can buy in a month, "safe storage" and enough other red tape to turn the right to keep and bear arms into a heavily-regulated privilege.
This coming Saturday, April 25, "Team Joe" is planning a "Service Outreach Unity Leadership (S.O.U.L.) of the Nation" event to recognize the efforts of "our communities' heroes." A message on his website says, "When Joe launched our campaign a year ago this Saturday, he said that this election is about more than just politics - it's about the soul of this country. That is true now more than ever before."
The former vice president, now said to be considering a female running mate since he is virtually assured of winning the nomination--which a majority of Democrats appear to favor, according to a recent Rasmussen survey--insists he will follow "constitutional, common-sense gun safety policies."
Here are some of the highlights found in his campaign literature: .....
"On the heels of a mass shooting rampage in Canada, a nation with some of the strictest gun laws in the hemisphere--laws the gun prohibition lobby would like this country to emulate, were it not for the pesky Second Amendment--Biden's gun control agenda is unlikely to win any converts in the firearms community, and it will give U.S. gun owners plenty to think about as November draws closer."
