The Taliban’s seizure of Afghanistan and their door-to-door search for weapons is about to play role in the battle between President Joe Biden and Second Amendment groups.

The committee was holding hearings on combating the proliferation of assault weapons. One, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, told us that they plan to promote video’s comparing the Taliban’s move to the Biden administration’s plans to ban some guns.
“One of the first things Joe Biden did after taking office was push his gun ban agenda,” said Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “One of the first things the Taliban did after taking Kabul was go door-to-door, seizing firearms. Biden says banning so-called ‘assault weapons’ and 9mm pistols will make the country safer. The Taliban is telling people they don’t need guns because they are safe. Those are some very alarming parallels.”
His and other groups have been fighting the administration’s plans to end sales of AR-15 style rifles and magazines that hold over 10 cartridges. Immediately, they are working on a Justice move to charge a retroactive $200 fee on millions of AR-15 style short barrelled “pistols.”
Said Gottlieb, “What’s happening right now in Afghanistan clearly underscores the importance of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms enshrined in our U.S. Constitution. The Afghan people will be defenseless once they are disarmed. The Founding Fathers made sure that could never happen here, so it is appalling that we now have an administration so keenly interested in banning the very types of firearms Afghani citizens will be begging for to resist the tyranny that is returning to their country.
- The administration’s blundering in Afghanistan isn’t just robbing Biden of sleep. He’s also taking a hit in the 2024 election betting markets. Our friends at Smarkets said that gamblers feel that Biden has only a 21% chance of reelection, and he’s being dragged down by Kamala Harris. Her chances are down to just 13%. But they are lucky that former President Donald Trump is angling for a second try at Biden. Because he’s in even worse shape, given just a 12% chance of winning.
- Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel is about to write a big check for a year round election integrity unit. Armed with a new report on problems uncovered in the 2020 election, officials told us that she plans to set up a permanent group and hire state enforcers to block Democrats from changing election rules right before elections.
- Former President Bill Clinton continues to take it on the chin from his old Hollywood buddies since the #MeToo movement hit the scene. The cable channel FX is producing a story about Bubba’s kinky romp with former intern Monica Lewinsky for its American Crime Story series. The producers also told us that an actor playing newsman Matt Drudge, who helped publicize the scandal, will make an appearance.
