A WORD ON “ASSAULT GUNS” …THE REAL REASON  BIDEN WANTS TO BAN GUNS!

By J. Gary DiLaura, Retired FBI Agent

Columnist J. Gary DiLaura is a decorated Retired FBI Agent and author of the explosive new book “Action…FBI Crime Fighting the Way It Was!”

What are ASSAULT GUNS? That’s a phrase that can be very complicated or very simple! Joe Biden knows nothing about guns as he misnames guns all the time, including on 3/28/23 when he called the rifles used in Nashville AK47s…no… they were not AKs. Ask Biden to define Assault Guns!

First… I know a little about the topic as I was, according to the FBI, an Expert Firearms Instructor, and I actually did testify, in Federal Court, as an Expert Firearms Instructor. The cases were shooting cases that we, FBI, worked. One I remember was before Judge Curtin with AUSA Roger Williams as the prosecutor in the Western District of NY, WDNY.

First, you have to understand that trying to categorize any firearm as a hunting gun, or plinking gun or a target gun, or an ASSAULT gun is folly. I say that because we all know that a GUN is an “item” and “an Assault” is an action, an illegal action. So we are trying to outlaw an “act” and not a “thing”.

Well, guess what…the act of assault is already a violation of our RULE OF LAW on all fronts…with a gun, knife, rock, or automobile, and we have laws on the books that prove that…don’t we? Try though we may, you cannot categorize or call any gun just an “assault weapon”…simply because it’s used as an assault weapon…you can try, but I will find another non-violent action, like target shooting, that effectively changes that “assault” designation.

A Woman Practicing Shooting - Where's the Assault?
A Woman Practicing Shooting – Where’s the Assault?

Let’s try this. Are there any cars that are designated “race cars” that cannot be driven on a road (legally or not)? So then define a Race Car. Is it a car that goes “fast”, 160mph? Well, my Camry speedometer goes up to 160mph…does that make it a Race Car?

The problem is not the gun, never has been and, in my opinion, never will be…and THEY know it!

We need to work on the act…assault…and not the gun, knife, rock, or car! You understand that the Radical Democrat-left politicians do not want to stop the assaults because if they did, they would not release convicts who commit assaults, nor let any assault arrests and convictions be released back into society with hardly a slap on the wrist. In China …they handle drug cases differently! If you are caught with drugs, you lose a hand. Get caught a 2nd time, you lose your head. It apparently works!

In my opinion, you need to figure out why Obama, Biden, Hochul, and their followers and financial backer do not want to stop assaults, I already know. They want to rid the streets of guns…legal guns! They have tried more laws, but our laws already cover any illegal act that involves a gun of any category. What good does it do to arrest, convict, and jail a criminal if the Democrat parole board or prosecutor (bought DA)… releases the criminals…and doesn’t try to tell ANYBODY that’s not what they are doing! These bought State Attorney Generals like NYC DA Bragg, in my opinion, want to flood the streets with violent criminals. How do I know? Because I have 2 eyes and 2 ears and see it happening!  So do you! Except some of you don’t want to believe reality…that’s a large part of the problem! The criminals with 15, 20, and 25 arrests for violent crimes…are back on the streets before the arresting officer.

THE REAL REASON…

The 2nd Amendment…”A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

The Second Amendment
The Second Amendment

There are about 200 million legal guns in the hands of 200 million Americans. Nobody is going to change America into a tyrannical, non-Constitutional Republic while America is armed…never…my opinion. So if a tyrannical, socialist leader or group of Radicals want to take over America…they have to weaken America. They must take America’s guns! They will weaken our military with gender-confused soldiers, devastate Federal, local, and state police departments, and deny select citizens their Due Process (throw them in jail without representation and no charges). They will follow Obama’s favorite college Professor, Cloward, and Piven’s Theory of spending all the Social Service money they can to try to bankrupt America.  They will weaken our resistance by taking away commodities we must have and changing US dollars into Bitcoin. They will try to do away with fossil fuels…which America cannot live without. Then try to sell the “Climate Change will kill us if we don’t” BS!

When you notice any of the above tell-tale signs, you had better start changing leaders and hope it’s not too late!

It’s already happening…you say?!

They can and will turn off the National Grid, my opinion! Do you want your electricity turned back on? Turn over your guns.

Also, we cannot live without FOSSIL fuels, with no replacement power, and the only viable replacement power for the US, right now and in the distant future, is Nuclear Power! Don’t believe anything else because Solar and Wind can’t do it!

Far Too Often, Promises Have Proved Empty; Niagara Falls Needs Progress And Strategic Planning

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina Promises are nice and they bring hope for the future. But unfortunately, most of the time, promises have fallen flat for the City of Niagara Falls, some succeeding but many turning out to be empty promises and major disappointments. At this point, Niagara Falls doesn’t need more failed promises. What the city needs is progress to build a better future and a plan to make it work. City leadership must bring it all together. While there are promises to build a better future on the table and being talked about, like Centennial Park and the Niagara Digital

Governor Issues Response To McMurray’s Letter on Slag Concerns

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina The radioactive slag bubbling up across Niagara County in recent weeks, triggering state and federal testing and some remedial work and family relocations, is the ongoing and seemingly never-ending legacy of the environmental desecration of the past 100-plus years by massive corporations dumping toxic waste that was the subject of Christen Civiletto’s book Thundering Waters. “What we have again is an environmental storm,” said attorney and former Grand Island Supervisor Nate McMurray, a candidate for election to the 45th District State Assembly seat now open because of the retirement of Angelo Morinello. McMurray will run for the
