I remember seeing information from the Biden campaign in 2020 in which he stated he wanted so called "assault weapons" treated like class 3 firearms. You'd have to pay a tax, have it registered, and never be able to sell it or buy another one.

I saw it on-line with a list of other draconian things he wanted to do.

I really need to find this. If anyone has a link to it I'd greatly appreciate it.

From the article:

Biden’s plan also doesn’t include, as Booker and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke previously called for, a mandatory buyback program — essentially, a confiscation scheme — for assault weapons. Instead, his plan has a voluntary buyback program through which gun owners can sell assault weapons. But if gun owners don’t sell their assault weapons, they’ll have to go through a background check and register the weapons, like they’re already forced to do with machine guns today.
