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!

Craig Bucki Stands Out in Race for Supreme Court, Has All the Tools to Be Strong Judge

By tony Farina · September 16, 2026

By Tony Farina I’ve covered many court proceedings and trials in my more than 35 years as a newspaper and television reporter and I want to make the point at the beginning of this story that whether elected or appointed, some judges are fair and honest and many others fall short of the mark. In other words, the word jurist does not convey skill and knowledge of the law; it is just a role that some serve with distinction, and others do not. By definition, a jurist is a person who has expert or thorough knowledge of the law but

Is Niagara Falls Crisis Self-Inflicted? Lots of Questions, Few Answers

By tony Farina · September 15, 2026

By Tony Farina There are certainly many questions swirling around the mayor’s declaration of a state of emergency in Niagara Falls over trash, blight, and deteriorating streets that was declared back on July 20 and has been extended several times since because, according to Mayor Robert Restaino, the City Council refused to approve contractor agreements. But some observers point to depleted staff at City Hall, like in Public Works and Code Enforcement and other departments, as really self-inflicted wounds that are the underlying reasons work is not getting done in the city. Or is there even more to the story,

The  Data Center That Answers Hochul’s Objections There was a time when Niagara Falls did not ask Albany whether it was permitted to prosper. The river was here. That was enough. The town had something Albany couldn’t give it. It used what was here. Water. Power. Work. Jobs. Industry. A future. In 1895, the Adams plant took the river and put it into wire. The current went to Buffalo. It changed the industrial world. Tesla supplied the designs. Westinghouse built the machines. Niagara supplied the falling water. Then industries came. Electrochemical. Electrometallurgical. They came because Niagara offered abundant, inexpensive electricity.

Niagara Falls Has Millions of Tourists But Needs to Find a Way to Capture That Wealth

By Tony Farina The City of Niagara Falls, N.Y., boasts one of the world’s greatest natural wonders that people from around the world come to see, but despite incredible tourism numbers of more than nine million visitors a year, the city of now less than 50,000 people is still pretty darn poor. Niagara Falls does not have a tourism problem; it has a tourism-capture problem, and the distinction should be a starting point for a serious new discussion about the city’s future. And ladies and gentlemen, that discussion needs to start now. The question is no longer whether Niagara Falls
