To be fair, Biden ran on an anti-gun platform. No matter how many times any support says he didn't, it's still there on his website (okay, so it's now on the archived version of his website).
Quote:
Get weapons of war off our streets. The bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that Biden, along with Senator Feinstein, secured in 1994 reduced the lethality of mass shootings. But, in order to secure the passage of the bans, they had to agree to a 10-year sunset provision and when the time came, the Bush Administration failed to extend them. As president, Biden will:
Ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Federal law prevents hunters from hunting migratory game birds with more than three shells in their shotgun. That means our federal law does more to protect ducks than children. It's wrong. Joe Biden will enact legislation to once again ban assault weapons. This time, the bans will be designed based on lessons learned from the 1994 bans. For example, the ban on assault weapons will be designed to prevent manufacturers from circumventing the law by making minor changes that don't limit the weapon's lethality. While working to pass this legislation, Biden will also use his executive authority to ban the importation of assault weapons.
Regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act. Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine-guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act.
Buy back the assault weapons and high-capacity magazines already in our communities. Biden will also institute a program to buy back weapons of war currently on our streets. This will give individuals who now possess assault weapons or high-capacity magazines two options: sell the weapons to the government, or register them under the National Firearms Act.
Reduce stockpiling of weapons. In order to reduce the stockpiling of firearms, Biden supports legislation restricting the number of firearms an individual may purchase per month to one.

That is not the platform of someone who wants to maintain gun rights and address the actual root causes of violence. That's the platform of someone who's selling the big con- that Americans will stop killing each other if you take away guns. We'll continue to kill each other by drinking and driving, by texting and driving, by zoning out and crossing the double-yellow, by running reds because we're running late.
We don't give a flying fuck about each other.

Some of us want to see the winner winning because they deserved it - not because they had to make it happen with other methods.
I don't give a shit who wins but is it really that much of a hoorah if you did it illegitimately? The GOP is about to have the Senate and the Supreme Court. Good luck passing fucking anything. If I were the Dem's, I'd take the L and just come back in four years and focus on other shit rather than just having some clown sit in a seat and be the face of your shit head ideology.

Why don't you put your common sense hat on? Do you really think either political party is going to commit financial suicide by committing large-scale fraud? These entities exist to make money from the American people- they're not going to be paid if the people lose faith.
The winner is going to win not because they deserved it, but because the American people spoke in numbers that made them the winner, both in the popular vote and the electoral college.
This is dumb. Anyone who thinks there's widespread election fraud is being dumb. My dad is being dumb. My coworkers are being dumb. You're being dumb.

Ignorance is strength.
And perhaps you might pretend, afterwards, that it was only a trick and that you just said it to make them stop and didn't really mean it. But that isn't true. At the time when it happens you do mean it. You think there's no other way of saving yourself and you're quite ready to save yourself that way. You want it to happen to the other person. You don't give a damn what they suffer. All you care about is yourself.
