Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s glowing recap of Biden’s tenure on CNN’s News Central Tuesday—claiming Democrats did a lot of things for jobs, for stability under his watch—reads like a masterclass in selective amnesia, especially when you zoom in on the gun-grabbing frenzy that defined much of that stability. Sure, Jayapal touts job creation and economic steadiness, but let’s not forget the backdrop: Biden’s ATF unleashed a regulatory blitzkrieg on the firearms industry, from reclassifying pistol braces as NFA items (affecting millions of law-abiding owners) to the endless assault on so-called ghost guns that hammered small manufacturers and custom builders. These weren’t just bureaucratic tweaks; they were job-killers in red states and swing districts where the gun industry pumps billions into the economy—think $70 billion annually per NSSF data, supporting 400,000+ jobs that Jayapal conveniently glosses over. Her praise ignores how Biden’s executive orders and the stalled but persistent Bipartisan Safer Communities Act funneled billions into red-flag laws and universal background checks, destabilizing the very Second Amendment ecosystem that underpins American manufacturing resilience.

For the 2A community, this is a stark reminder of the double-speak Democrats deploy as they pivot from Biden’s failed reign. Jayapal’s spin isn’t just tone-deaf; it’s a trial balloon for Kamala Harris or whoever inherits the mess, signaling that stability means more ATF overreach and FFL crackdowns unless we push back hard. We’ve already seen glimmers of hope—court smackdowns on brace rules and ghost gun regs—but with Democrats framing Biden as a jobs hero, expect ramped-up narratives blaming gun violence for economic woes while ignoring how their policies choked off innovation in states like Texas and Arizona. The implication? 2A warriors need to amplify the real story: Biden’s stability cost jobs in our community, and the fight for permitless carry, suppressor deregulation, and industry growth is more urgent than ever heading into 2025.

Bottom line, Jayapal’s soundbite is catnip for low-information voters, but for us, it’s fuel. Curate this clip far and wide, pair it with ATF layoff stats and industry job loss trackers, and remind everyone: true economic stability comes from defending the right to build, sell, and bear arms, not from D.C.’s nanny-state playbook. Stay vigilant, Second Amendment fam—our jobs, our stability, our rights depend on it.
