U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- President Joe Biden is at it again. He’s throwing out wild and unfounded lies to scare Americans into supporting his push for an unconstitutional ban on Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs). If that’s not outlandish enough, he continues to antagonize and threaten war against American citizens simply for exercising their Constitutionally-protected rights.
As the president likes to say, “I’m not joking.”
His latest claim was yet another attempt to malign and villainize MSRs.
“Do you realize the bullet out of an AR-15 travels five times as rapidly as a bullet shot out of any other gun?” President Biden asked of the crowd in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Not true. First, President Biden fails to understand the difference between firearms and ammunition. The firearm, like an MSR, which comes chambered in many different calibers, doesn’t determine the muzzle velocity of the projectile fired from the gun. MSRs are commonly chambered to fire 5.56mm/.223 caliber ammunition. Those rounds travels between 2,700-3,100 feet per second (fps), an easily-verifiable fact Fox News was able to uncover. Fox News and Breitbart both cited a Field & Stream report that examined bullet speeds of some of the fastest cartridges on the market used for hunting. Here’s what they found:
- .220 Swift — A 40-Grain .220 Swift round moves approximately 4,300 fps.
- .257 Weatherby Magnum — An 87-Grain .257 Weatherby Magnum round moves approximately 3,700+ fps.
- .30/378 Weatherby — A 165-Grain .30/378 Weatherby round moves approximately 3,400+ fps.
- .224 Clark — An 80-Grain .224 Clark round moves approximately 3,500+ fps.
- .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer — A 50-Grain .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer round moves approximately 4,600 fps.
The 55-grain round from a 5.56/.223 caliber didn’t even crack the list. That’s not all, though. President Biden repeated other debunked claims.
Cannons & 9 mm
“You can’t go out and buy a cannon,” President Biden said in his Pennsylvania speech. It’s a throwaway line for him and one that’s patently false. He’s previously added in that Americans couldn’t buy cannons at the time the nation was founded.
Even The Washington Post gave him Four Pinocchios for that one, and no one looks to that news outlet to be a defender of gun rights.
That ranks up there with his previous claim that a 9 mm cartridge “will blow the lungs out of a body.” Breitbart fact-checked that with a retired Navy SEAL, someone who might understand terminal performance of bullets on the human body.
The answer: “No way.”
That was backed-up federal agent with 15 years of experience. That answer – “bullsh*t.”
A 20-year federal agent told Breitbart it was “Not possible.” A 21-year-veteran of a U.S. Marshal fugitive recovery taskforce revealed, “That’s not even in the realm of possibility.”
President Biden’s firearms bona fides are looking, suspect.
Deer & Constitutional Rights
“How many deer or bears are wearing Kevlar vests, huh?” President Biden asked deridingly. “Not a joke.”
The last time we checked, none. That doesn’t explain, though, why many states continue to bar deer hunting with a 5.56mm/.223 caliber cartridge. Twelve states bar hunting with an AR-15 altogether, and at least another 10 have restrictions on hunting with an AR-15. The list cited didn’t include Virginia, which does restrict AR-15s chambered in 5.56mm/.223 cartridges for deer hunting because the round isn’t considered powerful enough for a humane harvest.
“But we let any stranger — an 18-year-old — walk in — a 20-year-old — and buy an AR-15,” President Biden also said.
That, of course, is just not true. Retail firearm purchases are only completed after an individual completes a Form 4473 and the retailer completes an FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) verification.
That statement also diminishes rights for adults fully-vested in their Constitutional rights. The president – who has sworn an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States – is claiming that only the rights he approves should apply. That’s not how our Constitution works.
Threats of War
The president’s antipathy toward Americans who exercise their Second Amendment rights didn’t end there.
“If you want to fight against a country, you need an F-15,” President Biden said. “You need something a little more than a gun. No, I’m not joking.”
That statement was made after labelling those who remind the government the Second Amendment was written to prevent a tyrannical government from running roughshod over its citizens. For all the overheated rhetoric of media pundits frothing about a civil war, it seems strange that the president threatens the American public – about half of whom he called semi-fascist – with war.
It’s not the first time, though. He made a similar statement in June 2021.
“If you wanted or if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons,” President Biden said in a White House speech.
Newsweek reported that the president’s latest flippant F-15 remark was already viewed over 2 million times in less than 24 hours, drawing the ire of critics.
Fox News reported that Federalist senior legal correspondent Margot Cleveland tweeted, “So, ‘Safer America’ means, …checks notes: A government threatening its citizens with F-15s.”
The president’s loose grasp of facts, willful ignorance of Constitutional rights, veiled threats, and explicit insults are a recipe for failure. Instead of pledging to ban commonly-owned firearms, President Biden should be focused on locking up criminals instead of winking and nodding at progressive prosecutors releasing them onto America’s streets.

How many F-15’s did Al Qaeda and the Taliban have?
The militia groups of Afghanistan, using small arms and man-portable weapons fought two of the largest Armies in the world (USSR and USA) to a standstill and eventually forced them from their country without the use of tanks, APC’s, helicopters and jet bombers.
It’s not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog.
and the idiot that they made run is making the threats
Have you ever been to Afghanistan?
He is a idiot wrapped in a moron and smothered in imbecile sauce.
Not bad, I may steal that. 😉
slow baked in shit, so as to fill all the voids
Hazcat
I would be pleased if you do.
Let me do the math for everyone here .
Joe Biden = idiot ³
I have come to the conclusion that I should regard all the things that Goofy Joe says are jokes, unless he says that they are not a joke, no joke, or I’m not joking.
And even then he is lying.
Since when has Joe McSniffy Schitz-His-Pants ever told the truth about anything? The Sack of Schitt’s a Pathological Liar.
A pathological psychopathic control freak liar. https://courageouslion380.substack.com/p/problem-psychopathic-control-freaks
Con-sti-tu-tion…a four cylinder word…way too difficult for the pea brain in the white house to comprehend. Unfortunately, 38 percent of the citizens in this country who are obviously doing hard drugs, think Brandon is doing a fine job!
You need to return it, it’s defective. Maybe they forgot to add the secret linear electronic motor in yours or your super capacitor need replacement. Are you using the 62 grain steel core? The super secret rail gun doesn’t work on non magnetic ammo!
Anyone who doesn’t believe by now that Resident Biden is a THREAT to the peace of our American way of life is surely too drunk on the kool aid of his lying cheating stealing Party of HATE (i.e. Demoncratic Party).
Yep, about one half of the population of America.
Bill – I ain’t so sure about that ‘half’ – especially when you factor in the massive amount of proven cheating from the ’20 (s)election. I seriously doubt that slow joe got even a quarter of the ‘votes’ he received, no matter how many times he and his propaganda arm claim ’81 million’.
No matter, there are still way too many folks who willingly ‘believe’ his lies.
I was merely generalizing without any research. You are probably right.
wonder if joe remembers how the afghans sent the russians and americans packing after years of fighting against f-15’s and mig’s using somewhat primitive weapons.
but now they have some modern weapons of war in which to fight off others thanks to that same joe who wants to ban far less dangerous weapons for his countrymen.
thanks, you did that joe.
Please note that the liberal preoccupation with being shot one day is not completely unfounded. In fact, the vulgar way they behave themselves and their relentless harking after other people’s business puts them at a risk that no gun control agenda could ever reverse.
Poor Lindsay. His name emasculated him from the time he was four.
Yes but now he’s the Queen of Carolina!
That byden always saying that the round from an AR 15 is 5 times faster than any other gun! Just who is quid-pro-joe trying to kid, at 5 times faster that would make that round hypersonic the bullet would vaporize before getting to the target. It would appear that neither quid-pro-joe nor his handlers knows anything about physics. When you have a bullet that is going as fast as the byden keeps saying the heat generated from said bullet would cause it to break down and crumble mid flight. That byden has completely lost whats left of his mind, the… Read more »
Even the Pope knows that he is full of shit. Joe keeps it in his pants.
Joe knows that he is addressing morons, who have no idea what the truth is and/or don’t care what it is.
Didn’t you get the memo?
Expecting correct answers to math problems is RACIST!
Biden’s handlers want this shit spewing out of the diapered moron’s mouth hoping THEIR favorite practice of Gas Lighting will work on guns like it has on so many other bullshit leftist issues. THEY never stop!!!
The government winks and releases criminals who use firearms so that they can keep the gun control issue alive. When criminals misuse them to rob and murder.
Joey fails to comprehend, or realize for that matter, that the speediest thing on earth is the ridiculous shit that comes out of his mouth!
A lie will gallop halfway round the world before the truth has time to pull its breeches on. “As Churchill said: ‘A lie gets halfway around the world before truth puts on its boots. ‘”
Biden is a MORON wrapped in STUPID!
So the Idiot in charge learned nothing after 20 years in the Middle East. And they were goat herders. LMAO SLOWMOJOE. C’mon Man !
we have upwords of 100,000 sharp shooters, every hunter can hit a plate at 500 yards….a green army where they chased out all the independent thinkers who can shoot…..video game warriors that run and hide when they see blood
So, on the one hand, you need a F-15 to overthrow the government, yet, on the other hand, unarmed protesters were almost able to destroy this country? Seems like doublespeak to me.
And they couldn’t subdue some goat herders in Afghanistan after how many years?
Or pajama slopes in the jungle……
“Newsweek reported that the president’s latest flippant F-15 remark was already viewed over 2 million times in less than 24 hours”. While we know that Biden is stretching a lie to make it even bigger, 2 million progressive idiots read and believed it. The main stream media just laps this up while not claiming any truth to their reporting, JOE SAID IT.
I suspect that a good part of those 2 million viewers were conservatives looking for some comic relief.
Innit ‘amazing’ that the CIVILIAN version of actual military grade weapons like the M16/M4 series, the Tavor and the Steyr AUG chambered in the same caliber is the ONLY one that achieves hyper velocity. Apparently military forces around the world are just trying to minimize the damage wrought by their small arms.
Sign me up for the 15,500 fps AR-15 in 5.56.(sarcasm).
At that rate of speed out of a 1:7 twist bbl, a standard lead core 55gr fmj projectile would disintegrate before exiting the barrel. It’d be like shooting rain drops or dog farts at targets downrange.
The level of stupidity in the White House is amazing and sad at the same time. Who comes up with this nonsense? The sad part is that some people will actually believe it.
Yeah, all the Demotard voters.
Repeat the lies often enough and it becomes the truth.
Nope – a lie is still a lie no matter how often it is repeated or how many ill informed folks ‘believe’ it. I’ll grant that the sheeple willingly accept that lie as long as it fits their preconceived notions and furthers the agenda.
Which is why I went Wylde ! lol
Reminds me of a silly movie that had the line: “You can dodge the wrench but not the Ball” or something like that.
Wasn’t that Dodgeball ? With Vince Vaughn.
YES! Dodgeball; A True Underdog Story
FJB talks more shit than the North Korean radio station. I’m not lying!
Funny, the .223 rifles are typically bolt action which are designed to hold a lot more pressure than a semi auto. That you can’t shoot 5.56 in a 223 is BS. Period.
You can buy them. SS109 and M855 are the same projectiles. Everglades ammo, armorally.com and theamericanmarksman.com all have them available right now. Some are new, some are pulled. I’ve done business with all three and am happy with what I got, though I was buying other products.
“As early as 1957, early development began on a new, small caliber, high-velocity round and rifle platform. These new cartridges would be based on the much smaller and lighter .22 caliber round, but despite the smaller projectile, US specifications also required that it maintained supersonic speed beyond 500 yards and could penetrate a standard-issue ballistic helmet at that same distance.” Which means the 5.56 round was developed so it’d be more rounds carried in the bottle with less weight and still maintain lethality against the enemy rather than the larger heavier 7.62×51. The 5.56s were made to come in belt… Read more »
Thanks NSSF, for taking “NO POSITION” (wink-wink) on the “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022”.
Translation for politicians & “our ATF partners”: “NSSF backs it, but we can’t say so or the 2A rabble will be mad at us.”
Our hoods are SO much SAFER now!
BINGO !
Bipartisan Safer Criminals Act is what it s and should be called.
Chuck – “Bipartisan Safer FOR Criminals Act” – there FIFY.
Stupid Dummy
