Biden: ‘We defeated the NRA… We’ll complete the task
President Biden Declares Victory Over NRA and Vows to Keep Fighting Crime
Speaking at the White House on Wednesday on his “actions to fight crime and make our communities safer,” President Joe Biden proudly proclaimed, “we beat the NRA,” with a determined promise to “finish the job.”
Biden boasted about his administration’s groundbreaking investments in proven strategies to prevent crime and violence. These programs rely on trusted messengers, including individuals who have firsthand experience with incarceration and the challenges of their communities. These are the voices that truly understand the issues at hand.
According to Biden, the results speak for themselves. He claimed that in areas where these programs are implemented, violent crime has been reduced by an impressive 30 to 60 percent.
“My plan tackles the devastating issue of gun violence in America head-on,” he declared. “I have taken more executive actions to halt the illegal flow of guns than any other administration in history. And when I signed the most significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years, we proved that we can overcome even the powerful NRA.”
Biden was referring to the law he signed in June 2022, which incentivized states to pass red flag laws and implemented stricter background checks for individuals aged 18 to 21 seeking to purchase firearms. Red flag laws empower judges to temporarily confiscate firearms from individuals who pose a potential threat to themselves or others.

However, critics, including the NRA, argue that this legislation can be misused to restrict lawful gun purchases and infringe upon the rights of law-abiding citizens. They express concerns about the broad discretion given to government officials and the potential for interference with constitutional freedoms.
In February, Biden announced that the Department of Justice would allocate over $231 million to states, a portion of which would support red flag programs.
Undeterred, Biden reiterated his commitment to the cause, stating, “And we’re going to finish the job. We’re going to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines next time around because it has to be done. I established the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, and I am grateful to Vice President Harris for overseeing this crucial effort.”
What role did the defeat of the NRA play in President Biden’s efforts to achieve true gun safety?
F firearms than any other president in history. And now, with the defeat of the NRA, we are one step closer to achieving true gun safety and protecting our communities from senseless violence.”
Biden’s victory over the NRA comes after years of advocacy and efforts to enact gun control measures. The NRA, once a powerful and influential organization, has faced increasing scrutiny and criticism in recent years. The President’s success in challenging the NRA’s dominance is seen as a significant milestone in the fight against gun violence.
In his speech, Biden acknowledged the important role that law-abiding gun owners play in society and emphasized that his actions were aimed at curbing illegal gun sales and preventing firearms from falling into the wrong hands. He highlighted the need for increased background checks, closing gun show loopholes, and implementing stricter regulations on ghost guns and stabilizing braces.
Biden’s commitment to fight crime and make communities safer extends beyond gun control. He emphasized the importance of addressing the root causes of crime, such as poverty, lack of education, and systemic inequalities. The President pledged to invest in education, job creation, and social programs that empower individuals and foster a sense of community.
“We cannot simply arrest our way out of the issues plaguing our communities,” Biden stated. “We must tackle the underlying problems and provide opportunities for all Americans, regardless of their zip code or background. Only by addressing the root causes can we truly achieve lasting change.”
The President’s ambitious plans to combat crime and improve community safety have received both praise and criticism. Supporters argue that his comprehensive approach, which combines gun control measures with social and economic initiatives, will lead to tangible results. Critics, however, express concerns about the potential infringement on Second Amendment rights and question the effectiveness of some proposed policies.
Regardless of the differing views, President Biden remains steadfast in his determination to combat crime and create safer communities. He acknowledged that the journey will not be easy, but emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration in achieving these goals.
“I invite all Americans to join us in this fight. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can bring about real change and ensure that every community in America is safe and secure,” Biden concluded.
As President Biden declares victory over the NRA and continues to push for his comprehensive crime-fighting agenda, the nation watches closely to see if his bold promises will translate into measurable results. Only time will tell if his strategies can indeed make our communities safer and curb the devastating impact of gun violence.
