Biden’s Words Refute Oft-Repeated Lie That ‘No One Wants to Take Your Guns’

Biden means federal action and pain for gun owners who refuse to surrender their right to keep and bear arms. (The White House/Facebook)

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “Biden calls 9mm ‘high-caliber weapons,’ suggests banning them,” Fox News reports.

“They said a .22-caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out — may be able to get it and save the life. A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body,” Biden claimed. “So, the idea of these high-caliber weapons is, uh, there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection, hunting. Remember, the Constitution was never absolute.”

“You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed,” Biden asserted (falsely). “You couldn’t go out and purchase a lot of weaponry.”

“Why should we allow people to have military-style weapons including pistols with 9-mm bullets and can hold 10 or more rounds,” he added.

If a 9mm will blow a lung out, what about that shotgun Biden advises to blast through front doors with? If that caliber is too powerful, what about magnums? What about .45s? And since he brought it up, what about hunting rounds?

And yes, of course, you could buy a cannon in the Founding era. You still can.

Biden doesn’t even try to make sense. He doesn’t have to. You could go through the list of everything he just blurted out and show in each instance how he flat-out doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but that doesn’t matter to his target audience. The useful idiots who believe him have no intention of looking into the truth for themselves, or of hearing it from somebody else. Biden’s handlers know that when it comes to guns, he can say any damn fool thing that comes into his head, and a dutiful “press corps” will repeat it without challenge – most because they are just as ignorant as those they influence, albeit with a handful knowing better but committed to the propaganda narrative.

It’s interesting he at least admits he doesn’t have authority to ban guns himself just through executive order, not that his ATF isn’t trying through “rule” changes. But the point here is that what he’s talking about is not “commonsense gun safety” measures, but banning guns, something the left insists is just paranoid talk out of one side of its mouth, while advocating repeal of the Second Amendment out of the other (not that the latter would legitimately affect the right).

He and his fellow Democrats talking about the 9mm and AR-15s are talking about banning the most popular handgun and rifle in America. And if they ban those, they’ll be sure to add others. It’s what they do.

This is another reason why it’s critical for Republicans not to give one inch on other measures, whether Democrats are talking red (or yellow) flags, “universal background checks,” and the like—because we know the end game is not about those, it’s to ban guns. Give in on one front and the prohibitionists will be able to free up resources for the next one. Let them establish a beachhead and they’ll use it to launch their next incursion.

Throw circling jackals a scrap and they’ll know it was done out of fear. And move in closer.

What those demanding rights they have no claim to, and those presuming authority to negotiate “on behalf” of their countrymen don’t take into account is government “allowing” people to have guns presupposes the people will allow them to dictate that.

Just so you know, this is an excellent column. Thanks.

Biden has gone from a pathological liar to a full-blown sociopath.

God help us.

Bigfootbob

You are right, but I think he was always a sociopath it’s just now the dementia has limited his ability to hide that fact.

Mack

What an excellent observation. I think you’re right.

This is what the culminating point of leftist incrementalism looks like. The Progressive New Left was able to steal the 2020 election and install a sock puppet. The vast majority of the American People stand by sitting on thumb twirling and wondering where their next stimulus check will come from and the Progressive New Left puppet masters press on to their ultimate Goal: the destruction of the American Republic and the elimination of our founding ideals and documents. This is what it looks like just before the house of cards comes crashing down. Sweeping elimination of natural rights. Progressive juries… Read more »

Fox is controlled oppo, owned by the Murdochs: Anti-gun, globalist, 1-way “free trade”, deluge immigration for “cheap labor” & votes, partners with Bloomberg on his immigration-amnesty-gun control projects.

Fox called Arizona early. The Murdochs wanted Trump gone.

Tucker’s the best they have, but he & his F-head staff are being real b!tches to Dinesh D’Souza. Don’t forget Tucker muzzled Trump’s attorneys from talking about The Big Steal, something he’d never did to leftists he lets jabber on without any substance or proof of their BS.

“Why should we allow people to have military-style weapons including pistols with 9-mm bullets and can hold 10 or more rounds,” he (Biden) added.

Who is this we Joe? Are you my mother by saying I shouldn’t be allowed something? Why am I allowed? Because my Creator said I could and it was enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Total clown show especially with this ballistic non-sense of a 9mm blowing out someone’s lung. Joe, just stop already, please!

Courageous Lion - Hear Me Roar - Jus Meum Tuebor

Why should “we” is sure not me. And I don’t want military STYLE weapons, I WANT MILITARY WEAPONS to stop these lunatics with THEIR military weapons. How much more obvious can it be? Remember WACO? That is when SEVENTEEN LITTLE CHILDREN WERE MASSACRED BY THE US GOVERNMENT GOONS! Not some nut case in a school but by the VERY PEOPLE SWORN TO PROTECT US FROM THE NUTCASES! In the SAME STATE as Robb Elementary.

Biden can not remember what happened yesterday, Democrats lie and are never held accountable. We must never become Europe or Australia or New Zealand or Canada they are socialist countries were the people have given up their freedoms.

Jonesy

What really bothers me is that every time F…ing Joe Biden lies, which he does receptively, That someone is not there to Jap Slap the SOB and calling him out since he has lied since at least 1973!!

Green Mtn. Boy

Of course Marxist Leftist’s want all guns removed from the civilian population,it’s a tenant of their religion right before climate change.

JMacZ

When in reality what Slo Joe really meant to say was ‘now’s the time to turn this pain into an opportunity to limit our rights’. “Never let a crisis go to waste!”

The irony that now grips this administration is that they claim that they’re doing these things to save the school children while pushing an abortion on demand agenda that more effectively kills children. Which by the way numbered 61.8 million between 1973 and 2018.

Or raiding a church in Waco on some pretext and murdering SEVENTEEN little children. YOUNGER then the ones at Robb Elementary.

I refuse to be lectured anymore about so called “Common Sense Gun Reform” by individuals and a Poiitical Party incapable of Common Sense, believing as they do that Men Can Get Pregnant and Have Menstrual Cycles or that It’s Perfectly OK For Children To Have Their Genitals Mutilated Because of A Psychosis. Fthat and FThem!
When these people display some Common Sense, then we’ll have a discussion, until such time Joe McSniffy Schitz-His-Pants and Kamelnose Hairyass can STFU.

It seems Jonathan Turley agrees with you — maybe he reads WOG and Ammoland.

Hell, we weren’t even disarmed when Ruby Ridge took place or when the church in Waco was burned to the ground. Any time you hear the bullshit that the media and government talking heads have to say about mass shootings, and want YOU to turn in your semi automatic rifles, remember this…SEVENTEEN little children and a total of SEVENTY NINE people died in WACO Texas at the hands of the psychopathic control freaks that run this country. And THEY were armed with FULL AUTO weapons as they assaulted a church full of people on some horseshit pretext. If that isn’t… Read more »

If they wanted to save lives they would close the border and stop fentanyl from getting here.

I will not be disarmed. I hope they don’t come here but when they do I will have to enforce the laws on tyranny and treason.

Bingo, Bill. As horrible as it sounds, the lives lost in today’s mass shootings are not even rounding errors compared to the tens/hundreds of millions of deaths where dis-armed citizens are placed at the non-existent mercy of tyrants, a few of whom you named. One must at least wonder if these shooters were not somehow identified by “Deep State Handlers” as troubled individuals ripe for nurturing and priming until the right time to be nudged into action to justify, at least in the minds of Useful Idiot masses, the rationale for more gun control. As Wayne LaPierre of the NRA… Read more »

Only on the issue of guns, can rank amateurs, ignoramuses, bloviators and a plethora of hystericals be taken seriously. Imagine, a non-doctor weighing in on neurosurgery or infectious diseases, for example. He’ll be laughed at or just ignored. Unfortunately, the gun community is besotted with the above, and it will be a lifetime struggle to keep a common sense, constitutional right.

That happens in a lot of subject areas. Some right here on this site.

Than Biden still can not get it correct common sense has escaped those elected in Washington for greed & power and their pledge to the communist party.

Democrats are like the people you run into in a dark alley that say they just want to be a “friend” while continuously trying to circle around to your back to attack from your blind side. They are cowards that say, “We don’t want to take your guns” while voting every chance they get to pass any law they can to keep chipping away at your rights.

JSNMGC

“This is another reason why it’s critical for Republicans not to give one inch”

Some Republican legislators have already indicated they want more gun control. Cornyn expressed the need for Republicans to meet the Democrats halfway. This is nothing new for Cornyn and voters love him.

Whatever gun control laws they pass won’t work, so people like Cornyn will want to meet the Democrats halfway again next year. That type of thinking is why we have tens of thousands of gun control laws.

Stag

If it weren’t for Republicans there would be no gun laws. There isn’t a gun law on the books wasn’t put in place without the help of Republicans. Sure Democrats may propose arms legislation more often and to a greater extent than Republicans but none of it was enacted without their help. The fact that so many refuse to acknowledge this is baffling.

Russn8r

Well, “Republicans” anyway.

JSNMGC

Yes – it’s not a new problem.

The 1994 “assault weapons” ban would not have even passed the House without Republican votes (38 Republican representatives voted for it).

Yes – it’s not a new problem.

The 1994 “assault weapon” ban only passed because of votes from Republicans.

It would be a lot easier to advocate for firearm rights if veterans wouldn’t say stuff like this:

“As the former Commanding General of the Infantry Center at Fort Benning and Chief of Infantry, I know a bit about weapons. Let me state unequivocally — For all intents and purposes, the AR-15 and rifles like it are weapons of war.”
