Biden's gun control plan is terrible for poor (in the financial sense) firearm owners

Regardless of one's big-picture opinion on the issue, it is obvious that this proposal will disproportionately affect working-class communities. 

Over the past few weeks, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has been rolling out task forces, policy platforms and all manner of other legislative bells and whistles as he ramps up his bid to unseat President Donald Trump. Predictably, none of his proposals have hit with the same force as progressive blockbusters such as “Medicare for All” or the “Green New Deal” (neither of which he supports). But Biden did shake the table in a different way in 2019 when he debuted his gun control platform.

Later that year, when he bumbled into a heated exchange with a Detroit factory worker, who accused him of trying to “take away our guns,” right-wingers and gun rights groups gloated over the spectacle. But even now, after the world has changed several times over, it’s still hard to shake the feeling that that worker was right. To the dismay of firearm enthusiasts on the left, Biden is still coming for some people’s guns. It’s now just a matter of who’s going to have them snatched — and who isn’t.
