DISINFO: The Biden regime is illegitimate and anti-American

SUMMARY

The Biden regime is illegitimate. It is also anti-American because its gun control policies seek to abolish the constitutional right of Americans to protect their lives and property against criminals and against the tyranny of the US government in Washington.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that 2020 US Presidential Election were illegitimate because of alleged electoral fraud. The narrative seeks to discredit US President Joe Biden.

After winning the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden became the 46th US president, elected in what has been described as one of the most secure elections in history. The claims that the Biden administration is illegitimate, because of alleged electoral fraud to the detriment of outgoing President Donald Trump, have been solidly and largely debunked.

Furthermore, the claim that the Biden government is “anti-American” because it wants to prohibit citizens from arming themselves to defend their private property and freedom against the government is also false. President Biden's gun control policy consists of several actions aimed at achieving greater societal security through restrictions on gun ownership and use.

These objectives include reinstating the Obama-Biden policy “to keep guns out of the hands of certain people unable to manage their affairs for mental reasons”, which President Trump reversed, prohibiting individuals “who have been convicted of a misdemeanor hate crime, or have received an enhanced sentence for a misdemeanor because of hate or bias in its commission” from purchasing or possessing a firearm.

The legislation to ban assault-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines is, according to President Biden, also a necessary response to limit the endemic phenomenon of mass shootings. A 2019 poll reported by Politico found that 70% of Americans support an assault weapons ban.
