When Joe Biden leaves office next Monday, he will walk away from the White House as one of the worst presidents in the nation’s history, according to two different polls.
Only Republican Richard Nixon is remembered as worse than Democrat Biden, and both of them rate lower than Jimmy Carter, who passed away just days ago.
Biden will be remembered as the most anti-gun-rights president , even worse than Barack Obama, because the Delaware Democrat is viewed as running an administration which weaponized federal agencies against his opponents, including gun owners. Biden will be remembered for his executive actions and for appointing Steven Dettelbach as head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Dettelbach is resigning effective this Saturday, two days before Donald Trump returns to the Oval Office.
While Trump sometimes gets mixed reviews among gun rights activists, he is widely viewed as massively better than Biden.
A recent Gallup survey showed 54 percent of U.S. adults view Biden unfavorably including 17 percent who view him as “below average” and 37 percent who rate him as “poor.” Only 19 percent think he will be remembered favorably, including 6 percent who think he has been “outstanding” and 13 percent who see him as “above average.” Gallup says 26 percent will remember him as “average.”
Rasmussen says most voters “say nothing President Joe Biden did during the past four years helped them, and nearly half believe he ranks among America’s worst presidents.”
Forty-eight percent of likely voters believe Biden will go down in history as one of the worst presidents to every occupy the office. Rasmussen’s poll found 21 percent think Biden will be remembered as one of the nation’s best presidents and 27 percent consider him “average.”
According to Rasmussen, “Just two weeks before he leaves the White House, 54% say that since Biden became president, he has not enacted any policy that made their life better. Thirty-four percent (34%) say Biden’s policies have made their life better and 11% are not sure.”
But Second Amendment activists look at Biden’s presidency as a nightmare, from his platform which included the intention to ban so-called “assault weapons” and executive actions against so-called “ghost guns,” frames and receivers. His creation of a White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention is considered to be a poorly-disguised creation of a mini-bureaucracy, funded by taxpayers, to erode the Second Amendment.
Adding insult to injury, Biden’s son, Hunter, was convicted of a serious gun law violation, and months after the president vowed he would not pardon his son, he did so, anyway. Biden will leave office as a pathological liar, a reputation which has dogged him through much of his political career.
Gun owners who played a major role in putting Trump back in office will expect the returning president to install people in his cabinet who are friendly to the Second Amendment.
