Is anyone else getting tired of Dementia Joe’s schtick as he seems to pivot to be the mouthpiece of every Left-leaning trope that has ever existed? Part of me wants to believe that he really believes in all of this but his speechifying makes me think, like many others, that he’s being fed lines that he immediately mangles. Badly. But that’s part, I believe, of what his handlers depend on. After all, after decades of malapropisms, it seems that most people are now immune to them and just go “Hey, it’s just Joe Biden. Again.” and move on to other things.
But this is what he said a few days ago now?
The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. Just sick. It has no socially redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers.
There are three basic kinds of firearms (hey, stay with me here – just trying to simplify things a bit because the Left DEPENDS on the ordinary person knowing little to nothing about firearms):
- Single round, single shot. Shoot a round and then have to manually load a new round (think many precision rifles)
- Semi-automatic – a firearm that has a limited round carrying capacity (a revolver with a round cylinder or a pistol/rifle with a box magazine) that will automatically feed a new round after every SINGLE pull of the trigger
- Burst or fully automatic – pull and hold the trigger and the firearm continues to fire until the box magazine or the belt feeding the firearm runs out (or the barrel “melts” from the heat of continuous firing).
So in Joe’s eyes, there is no need (“you don’t need that” being the ‘tell’ of Socialists and Civilian Disarmament totalitarians everywhere) for anyone to have anything but a single-shot firearm:
- target shooting is not socially redeeming
- hunting to feed your family is not socially redeeming
- defending you and your family from a house invasion from multiple ne’er-do-wells is not a socially redeeming activity.
And of course, how would you ever fight off your tyrannical government that has F-15s and atomic bombs with just guns – even if civilians have over 410 million of them? I think that Afghanistan should rip that argument to shreds, right? What wins wars is the determination to break your opponent’s will to fight – and you’d be more than halfway there on the losing side by declaring war on Americans.
So guess what, gun-owners (and I assume that if you have a single-shot, you also have a semi-automatic pistol or rifle in your collection. Several, I bet. And in some cases that I know, several SAFES full of them (and in a couple of instances, several rooms full), you are SICK individuals.
Obama called you clingers, Hillary called you deplorables, and now Biden has called you sick.
How does it feel to have your “Leaders” think of you so condescendingly? It’s almost like they feel free to let you know they HATE you and your traditional American Values – and believe in the philosophy of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Speaking of which…
…even as you can point to the Second Amendment and say “there’s my permit/license to own and use my Arms”. Special word there – “arms”. As in:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
In an originalist definition, arms mean military arms and just not guns. All KINDS of military equipment and such. Civilians back then owned the equivalent equipment that the militaries of the day owned. Sometimes, better. And contrary to what President Asterisk holds, private citizens could also own what are now called “destructive devices” -> cannons. Lots of them if one had the money (think a privateer with a Letter of Marquee roaming the seas looking for British ships to take or sink). Hey Lefties – just shove that thought that “we don’t need that” because you might see something being shoved right back – in your faces if Joe really tries to back up his words.
Or one of his minions with the puppet strings entangled in their hot little hands.
The Left keeps trying to convince us that times have changed and that you have nothing to fear from your government EVAH! Think “YOU DON’T NEED THAT” anymore. I think there are a few Native Indians around that would be willing to dispute that claim and I bet many of us can point to other “problems” in history and even in current events. After all, Congress, the President, and government, in general, are usually at the bottom of most “who do you trust” polls (think Gallup).
Sorry, Joe, you aren’t going to ban the sales of new semi-automatics, whose technology has been around for 150 years or so, especially after the SCOTUS Bruen decision. Oh, you may TRY, you may SAY the words, you may SIGN such an Executive Order – but you won’t be able to say “Mission Accomplished” at the end.
Again, going to war with a civilian population that now has more firepower than when Yamamoto (purportedly) told the Japanese High Command before the start of WW II:
“You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass.”
Also don’t forget, since he studied in America before WW II, he also said:
“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
Unfortunately, I think Biden may well go down the road of “Play stupid games, get stupid prizes”.
