Biden just renewed his calls to take away your guns, which means it's about time for another trip to the fire stick store
· Jul 11, 2022 · NottheBee.com

He really, really wants your blasters, folks.

First of all, he slurs his words together here worse than Nancy Pelosi after her 9th glass of wine.

Second of all, Biden never banned aSsAuLt wEaPoNs. He pushed hard for the 1994 law that Bill Clinton signed that heavily regulated scary-looking weapons. On rifles, the law banned:

  • Bayonet mounts
  • Barrel shrouds
  • Folding or telescoping stocks
  • Flash suppressors or barrels threaded to accept them
  • Pistol grips

You know what happened after those rules were put in place?

Nothing.

Contrary to Joe's claims, the law did nothing to stop gun death, other than lower the fraction of crimes caused by aSsAULt riFLeS due to a temporary lull in inventories.

Consider this research paper as far back as 1999.

[T]he ban has failed to reduce the average number of victims per gun murder incident or multiple gunshot wound victims.

Biden just straight up lies.

Criminals kept being criminals, while gun manufacturers and lawful citizens just found creative ways to get around them. The lawful citizens found ways to still maintain the function of modern firearms while the criminals went on owning full-auto machine guns that were banned by Congress and FDR in the '30s.

"bUt EuRoPe dOeSn'T aLLoW gUnS!"

Yeah, and Europe only exists in its current form because America is protecting it, so sit down.

More on Biden's speech today from Bloomberg:

President Joe Biden said Americans are "awash in weapons of war" and called again for Congress to strengthen gun restrictions, including by banning military-style rifles, while lauding a new law that modestly advanced gun safety after a series of mass shootings.

What does "military-style" mean?

Muskets were top-of-the-line technology in 1776. The repeating rifle was state-of-the-art by the Civil War. The Gatling gun was invented in 1861 and mounted on canon wheels. A few decades later, Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim invented the machine gun in 1884, along with patents on the gas, recoil, and blowback designs still in use today.

Since modern laws restrict this 1884 technology, preventing bullets from firing one after the other without a finger pull for each round, is the media defining "military-style" as "weaponry before the 1880s"?

"If this law had been in place years ago, even this last year, lives would have been saved," Biden said Monday at the White House.

But the president insisted more needs to be done, and renewed his call for Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines as well as to expand background checks and enact "safe-storage" laws making gun owners liable for not securing their firearms.

"I'm not going to stop until we do it," he said, adding "nothing of what I'm talking about infringes on anyone's Second Amendment rights."

By this, he means he's going to infringe on the rights enshrined by the Second Amendment.

(Daily reminder: The Founders believed the right to bear arms against criminals and tyrants was God-given and unable to be taken away by human politicians)

The Supreme Court recently struck down New York's shall-issue provision for concealed carry, and one of its justifications was that citizens must be allowed to carry weapons that are commonly used and well established in regular circulation; otherwise, the people are not being allowed to carry basic weapons that would protect them from even the most basic, run-of-the-mill criminals.

As I mentioned, the basic gun tech we use today has been around for more than a century. The handgun and rifle platforms that are most popular have been around since the 1940s and 1950s (including the ArmaLite Rifle). Is Biden telling citizens that they should defend themselves from muggers' Glock 19s and drum mags with a smoothbore musket?

The event was intended as a celebration of bipartisan legislation passed last month that includes a package of modest mental health and gun control measures. But the commemoration came on the one-week anniversary of a mass shooting at a July 4 parade in Highland Park, Illinois, that left seven dead, highlighting the limits of the new law.

Biden applauded state and local officials' response to the Highland Park shooting, adding, "We have more to do."

"We're living in a country awash in weapons of war," he said.

The Founding Fathers' response:

Seriously. I'm not making that up. Look at what Patrick Henry said about everyone owning a weapon (all weapons are made for war):

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined... The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.

Back to Bloomberg:

The new law is intended to make it harder for young people and domestic abusers to possess firearms and encourages states to pass red-flag laws that allow courts to confiscate guns from people deemed to be a risk to themselves or others. The measure also includes billions of dollars in mental health funding.

But because it was negotiated with Senate Republicans, who oppose strong restrictions on gun ownership, the law does not include policies sought by Biden and fellow Democrats such as an assault-weapons ban or the elimination of legal immunity for gun manufacturers.

CURSE THOSE POUNCING REPUBLICANS AND THEIR ADHERENCE TO THE CONSTITUTION!!

I wonder if Bloomberg has any bias.

(Everytown for Gun Safety, which advocates gun-safety measures, is backed by Michael Bloomberg, founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP.)

There it is.

Anyway, now that Biden has called for gun control again, inventory is gonna be even slimmer at your local fire stick store.

Quote: "I'm not gonna stop until we do it."

Yup, I quite literally have a nice blaster in my online cart after that statement.

Make sure to get out there and get a super scary AR-14 with all the doohickies and whatchamacallits before they run out!
