U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Among the $80 billion worth of high-tech weaponry, Joe Biden gifted to the Taliban after his inept and deadly Afghanistan withdrawal were 176 artillery pieces, 64,363 belt-fed machine guns, 126,295 handguns, and of course 358,530 select-fire assault weapons – real assault weapons.
Most of the assault rifles were equipped with high-end optics. Many had IR lasers, which aren’t much good without night-vision gear. However, Biden left behind 16,035 sets of NVGs.
The small arms were accompanied by 23,132 armored vehicles, both tracked and wheeled, 8,000 cargo trucks, 42,000 pickups and SUVs, 109 helos, and 65 fixed-wing aircraft, including four C-130s.
Of course, the highest price we paid for Biden’s Afghan retreat wasn’t guns or gear. It was the loss of 13 brave service members who were killed during the final days of the evacuation. Biden honored their sacrifice by fidgeting and checking his watch each time one of their caskets was carried past him on the tarmac of Dover AFB.
Joe Biden created the largest and the most heavily armed terrorist army the world has ever seen.
It is only a matter of time before the Taliban projects the force he gave them beyond Afghanistan’s borders. They don’t appear to be in any hurry. Afghans have always played the long game with all things international.
Since the Afghan evac, the Biden-Harris administration has lurched and stumbled from one disaster to another, but they’re happy no one is looking back. We might notice their hypocrisy, which is off the charts. In fact, the Biden-Harris administration has redefined hypocrisy.
To be clear, after he armed foreign terrorists, Joe Biden now wants to disarm American citizens.
Biden wants to ban homemade firearms, even though Americans have been making guns in their homes since before there was the United States of America.
Biden and his millennial handlers are worried more about Americans with 80% Glock-ish frames than they are blood-thirsty foreign terrorists with 100% M4s.
I’m sorry, but no one who supplied arms to terrorists is going to tell me what type of arms I may or may not own, and if I want to build one myself, so be it. It is no one’s business but mine. Besides, Biden’s ban on homemade guns is based on data that ATF cannot verify, and statistics the Justice Department disavowed. It is an infringement, pure and simple, just the latest battle in Biden’s war on our gun rights – a war that’s raging.
Last week, Biden named Steve Dettelbach as his second choice to fill the vacant ATF directorship. Dettelbach is an anti-gun extremist who supports bans on private firearm sales, “assault weapons” and standard-capacity magazines. My thoughts on Mr. Dettelbach are thus – if he’s such an accomplished gun grabber, maybe Joe should send him to Kabul, where there are plenty of guns for him to grab, all bought and paid for with American taxpayer dollars.
Don’t think for a second Biden has pivoted solely to homemade guns. He reaffirmed his true intent last week during a press conference in the Rose Garden:
“We need Congress to pass universal background checks. Universal background checks. And I know it’s controversial, but I got it done once: Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines,” Biden said.
He is right about that. Unconstitutional bans and infringements are certainly controversial – about as controversial as arming foreign terrorists who have already spilled American blood.

Biden and his administration committed an act of treason no question. If Trump had done this and left Americans behind Democrats would have melted down along with the media.Facebook Twitter would have exploded with the woke progressive socialist commie influencers that are destroying our country. Impeachment is not strong enough , time for prison for all of them bastards in this administration.

Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and George Washington are on a sinking ship.
As the boat sinks, George Washington shouts, “Save the women!”
George W. Bush hollers, “Screw the women!”
Bill Clinton asks excitedly, “Do we have time?”
Ilegitiment clownshow Joe Biden is a completely idiot . Any executive order this clown signs that Infringes on anyone’s second amendment rights is to be ignored . Just like Democrats ignore our laws .FJB
Senile Biden still mentioning 100 round magazines being used by deer hunters.
Is it total ignorance or just reading cue cards some communist in the executive branch wrote ?
the old fool ( I could use stronger words) is incompetent , always has been, but now he shows signs of dementia.
Those who support this senile clown and either disregard the blatant hypocrisy of his actions, or make lame excuses for them, do not deserve to be American Citizens. If an I.Q. test were required to vote, many of Biden’s supporters would disappear from the voter rolls.
ALL part of the Democrats plan to take America down. They have had two years of Card Blanche on laws and regulations along with undoing any and all of Trumps MAKE AMERICA GREAT past. Biden has and IS doing whatever it takes to make this nation a third world, socialist S**THOLE !
isn’t it funny how you do not here nothing about the 80 billion in arms and the 13 plus soldiers that died, over that failed evacuation, plus no real other incriminating facts about The Bidem Harris administration. it all gets Buried by the media networks. To tell you all the truth, what does it matter. Nobody and I mean “Nobody is going to do anything about it, but complain, and cry about it, and sit back and do nothing else. That is all anybody is going to do. I apologize if I offend anybody, that “is” my Intention, to light… Read more »
Biden is a two faced racist masquerading as a President. His lackluster career along with his low IQ coupled with ever worsening dementia make him the perfect pawn of his Communist handlers.
We are being taken for “a ride” and will not like the destination.
Sadly, senior abuse with slow Joe. Look closely. Often one can see OBlunder’s arm up Joey’s ass working his chops like Charlie McCarthy.
