Former President Donald Trump’s predictions during his 2020 presidential campaign about what would happen to the U.S. if Joe Biden gained office have been frighteningly correct.
Trump properly warned voters that Biden’s ideas would assault free speech and the Second Amendment, lead illegal immigrants to flood the southern border, and consumers would face high gas costs and a failing economy.

Biden’s Attempts To Undermine The Second Amendment
Trump threatened that Biden’s government will adopt a “radical left agenda,” including attacks on the First and Second amendments.
“He’s following the radical left agenda: take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment, no religion no anything, hurt the Bible, hurt God, he’s against God, he’s against guns, he’s against energy, our kind of energy,” Trump said in August 2020.
“If Joe Biden gets in, your Second Amendment is gone. It’s gone — either obliterated to a point of being gone or gone itself,” Trump said to supporters on Sep. 8, 2020, in Florida.
The Trump campaign also launched an ad that claimed Biden “openly admitted his plan to violate our Second Amendment rights.”
“To gun owners out there who say, well, a Biden administration means they’re going to come for my guns. Bingo. You’re right,” Biden stated in a footage from CNN the Trump campaign utilized in the commercial.
FactCheck.org claimed Trump’s ad was nothing more than “an out-of-context video clip” of Biden.
Biden’s remarks at Cross Hall on gun violence revived his calls for Congress to begin curtailing the Second Amendment. He also stated the Constitution does not grant Second Amendment “absolute” protection.
More on this story via The Daily Caller:
“The Second Amendment, like all other rights, is not absolute. It was Justice Scalia who wrote … the rights granted by the Second Amendment are ‘not unlimited.’ Not unlimited. It never has been,” Biden said.
“We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. And if we can’t ban assault weapons, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21. Strengthen background checks. Enact safe storage laws and red-flag laws. Repeal the immunity that protects gun manufacturers from liability,” Biden continued. CONTINUE READING…
