Once Joe Biden grabs ahold of a lie, he can’t let out go. Dementia is like that. For about the millionth time, the illegitimate president has claimed the “from the beginning” the 2nd Amendment banned cannon ownership. Granted, he was probably around when the Constitution was written, but his memory is shit at this point.
Biden announced today that he’s going to reclassify “gun kits” as firearms, which he lacks the authority to do. This is his gun control effort to get rid of “ghost guns” but his directive is so vague and confused it’ll probably just end up creating hundreds of lawsuits.
Joe announced this bold move at an event on the White House lawn:
Biden started off with a really bad analogy:
“If you buy a couch you have to assemble, it’s still a couch,” said Biden.
If you buy the lower frame of a couch and have to do some milling work, like you do with unfinished lower receivers, it’s not a couch.
From there, Biden went over to a table where there was a “ghost” handgun. He said that you can have the entire dissembled gun sent to you in the mail and you can put it together in under thirty minutes. This is not true, but since when is Biden honest about anything?
Also, Biden picked up the gun, which I’m 99% certain is against the law in Washington D.C. If Joe really wants to crack down on gun crime, he should prosecute himself as well as his crackhead son.
Biden then painted himself into a corner as he was complaining that “ghost guns” don’t have serial numbers and can’t be traced when they are found at crime scenes. He said his new regulation would require serial numbers on all unfinished receivers and that it would “save lives.” If the point of his edict is to make guns traceable after crimes have already been committed, it will not save one life.
Biden then reminisced about the days of the Clinton-ear Assault Weapons Ban, that he helped author and told a story about an event that never happened:
“I was getting criticized when I first passed this law when I was a Senator and guess what? I was down in Southern Delaware, do a lot of hunting and fishing down there and I was walking up one of the crick beds and the guy standing see, ‘You wanna take my guns?” And I said, ‘I don’t wanna take your gun.’ Said, ‘Well you’re telling me I can’t have more than X number of bullets in in in in a my gun.’ And I said, ‘What, do you think the deer wear kevlar vests? What the hell do you need 20 bullets for? You must be a hell of a terrible shot,'” said Biden.
He’s said this deer wearing kevlar vests thing before and it didn’t include this bullshit story. Also, the premise is bullshit. Kevlar vests aren’t designed to stop rifle rounds, so if the deer were wearing them, one shot is as good as 20. Also, people don’t generally hunt deer with “assault weapons.”
Biden added that what he calls assault weapons are, “a weapon of war. It has nothing to do with recreation.”
The 2nd Amendment also has nothing to do with recreation. Speaking of which:
“And by the way, gonna sound bizarre but I support the 2nd Amendment. You have a right but from the very beginning the 2nd Amendment didn’t say you could own any gun you want, big as you want. You couldn’t buy a cannon when in fact the 2nd Amendment passed,” said Biden.
Yeah, you really could. There’s never been a ban on cannon ownership and there’s certainly nothing about it in the 2nd Amendment. In fact, the 2nd Amendment protects out rights to bear arms. Any and all arms. I looked it up and cannons are arms.
