3 Most Insane Joe Biden Gun-Ban Quotes (This Week)
He’s the gift that just keeps on giving…like herpes.
Ah, good ol’ Sideshow Joe Biden: Between his folksy, aw-shucks schtick, his creepy-uncle behavior with the ladies, and his complete cluelessness about anything involving gunpowder, he’s been a real boon for sarcastic gun writers. Not so much for actual gun rights, I’m afraid, but up until very recently he wasn’t much more than a laughingstock–a little comic relief in a world of actual threats to the Second Amendment like Hillary Clinton and Mike Bloomberg. (Just as a reminder: Bloomberg loves Dick’s. Can’t get enough of ’em.) The trouble is that he’s now something of a front-runner for the 2020 Democratic nomination, so I guess we’re going to have to at least act like we take him seriously. So here are the three dumbest things Diamond Joe has said about guns and gun rights…this week.
1. Biden’s Al Gore moment
Those of us who are old enough to recall the utter shitshow that was the 2000 election no doubt remember Al Gore getting roasted for his claim to have helped invent the Internet. Those of us who aren’t, please gather ’round while I tell you a tale of the before-time, of the long-long ago. Twenty years ago, both the left- and right-leaning media would dogpile on any candidate who said something that laughable. These days, mmmmnotsomuch. Here’s our first insane Sideshow Joe quote (source):
For example, one of the things we worked on early on, and I worked on with folks out in Silicon Valley, we should be able to make a weapon that, in fact, you can only, if you can buy it, can only be fired with James Bond kind of stuff, if it has your print on it. You’re the only one that can pull the trigger,” Biden said. “That’s within our capacity to do that.”
I love that he’s trying to take credit for the technology that we now use to unlock our smartphones, but not as much as I love the fact that he hasn’t done any further cogitation on the matter. Dear readers, please stand up if your smartphone has unlocked on the first try every single time you’ve used your fingerprint. I don’t know about you, but I’m fairly loath to trust my life with the same technology that can be defeated by an overly humid day. I’d also wonder exactly how the gun grabbers of the world think selling a used “smart gun” would work…after all, if the tech can be re-set to accept a new person’s print at all, then criminals will be doing it before you can say “jailbroken iPhone.”
2. The one “entitlement” he doesn’t like
I don’t tend to veer off into politics that don’t touch guns and hunting, but I will note that it’s interesting to see that Biden believes people are entitled to free cell phones and plans at taxpayer expense…but not a gun at their own expense. Here’s the quote (source):
Former Vice President Joe Biden admitted that the “Second Amendment exists” but stressed during his speech in New Hampshire on Tuesday that it does not say everyone is “entitled” to own a gun.
Actually, Creepy Druncle Joe, that’s actually exactly what the Second Amendment says. The Founding Fathers were quite clear on the matter, and so was the Supreme Court in 2008. Now, it’s true that some narrow exceptions have been carved out, in much the same way that there are narrow exceptions to the First Amendment. But the fact that convicted felons can’t own guns without a judge’s say-so doesn’t mean that the government is permitted to treat law-abiding citizens that way…at least, not without violating the Constitution that any future President must swear to protect.
3. I don’t even know what this is. Just, what?
I’ve saved the best for last, and that’s because I know there’s going to be plenty more where this came from. Take a moment to savor this lunacy (source):
You give me a nine millimeter Glock, and you have a thirty-eight revolver, I’ll kill more people quickly in here. You’d shoot as many, but I’ll kill more.
Let’s set aside the fact that the Glock 9mm is arguably the most popular handgun in America today. Let’s set aside the fact that the .38 and the 9mm are actually quite similar in terms of their terminal ballistics. Let’s focus, instead, on the fact that Diamond Joe Biden thinks that the Glock–which, depending on the model and magazine used, will generally hold 16 rounds–will only be able to shoot as many bullets as a revolver. Has he ever seen a revolver? Does he know what a Glock looks like? Is he able to subtract 5 or 6 from 16? Or is he simply saying this because he’s heard “Nine millimeter Glock” and it sounds more bad-ass to him than “revolver,” so therefore he figures it must be a deadlier gun?
I actually think we might be on to something there. On the one hand, it would be a terrible thing for gun rights if gun-banning Joe “Biden His Time Until He Can Grab Guns” were elected. On the other hand, should that happen, we can clearly all look forward with great pleasure to Glock renaming themselves the Fluffy Bunny Company and the introduction of their brand-new double-stack polymer-framed 9mm Adorable Kitten.
How these idiots think the 2nd amendment is governed by a crazy liberal states desires and isn’t a individual right. Then I guess the rest of the constitution isn’t about an individual rights either. If one amendment falls they all fall people. ( When they they came for the Slavs I said nothing, when they came for the gypsies I said nothing , when they came for the Jews I said nothing. And when they finally came for me their was no one left to saying anything for me.) quote from a survivor of the Nazis. Sadly this is how it starts first they disarm you then they strip away the rest of your freedoms.
You can’t have my guns but I’m willing to share my bullets!
Moan Abe
Whaaaaa??? But…..Joe Biden earlier advised women to just blast a shotgun through the door to deter any intruders…
I agree with “Joe Blow Biden”….HE…..shouldn’t own a gun , nor any of his liberal contemporaries! (you have to make the math easier in the submission area of this page heh-heh)
How has someone this stupid gotten this far?
Bob says by mindlessly stumbling through life.
Strange individual is Joe but let us not forget a whole bunch of voters (left wing morons) put him in office.
Thereby hangs the tail, until we get better educated individuals, educated in the Constitution etc. the problem will manifest itself.
Term limits would help a lot but the swamp dwellers would never vote that in.
Sad how a wonderful and beautiful country can deteriorate so quickly. Just following Kommiefornia as usual.
Did Biden get dropped on his head when he was a kid? Something is wrong with him. Something seems to be wrong with most of the far left democrats. Why would anyone vote for a dope like Joe Biden?
I don’t think there are any cities in the U.S. where firing a shotgun into the air is legal within city limits. When he was vice president he said that was the thing to do. What about the people who live in the apartment upstairs that he just shot? Where do the pellets come back to earth? He said to ignore laws and it’s ok to discharge a weapon with no idea as to where the shot is going. Good thing he didn’t have 16 rounds, it would be another mass shooting.
Does anyone remember how the newly elected obama Administration had to impose a gag-order on VP joe, because every time he opened his mouth garbage came out…….. he said racist things, sexist things, creepy things, and things that went against his boss. He showed them though, made his bonuses in the Ukraine.
But nothing he’s said to date has been more hilarious than telling the wheelchair-bound guy to stand up…repeatedly…
Another famous quote from Uncle Joe’s. “When bad guys kick down your front door, you take your double barrel shotgun outside onto the upstairs balcony and shoot both barrels up into the air.” Does this Idiot not know, the bad guys are already in the house, you have just emptied your shotgun and left yourself defenseless, as far as a firearm is concerned? Using his self-defense tactic, you would be better off with a BASEBALL BATT which is more maneuverable than an EMPTY SHOTGUN! He is Dumb as Hell, but, this, compared to the comments of the rest of the Democratic Presidential Nominee Contenders, PALES IN COMPARISON FOR STUPIDITY! Think “green new deal.”
To quote Yahoo, “Your comment is awaiting moderation.” What you are really saying is simple. It is awaiting your interpretation of the First Amendment Of The Constitution Of The United States Of America! Isn’t that more accurate than your politically correct statement?
“Could you fix me up just one more cocktail, Nancy? Pretty please?”
Gropin’ Joe, the “funny uncle” we were warned about as kids. He’s a complete idiot. “…the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” is not an entitlement, it’s a God given “RIGHT,” in the minds of our founders, and it remains so today. In spite of the fundamentally flawed SCOTUS opinion of 1886 in Presser v. Illinois, a decision with no precedence or legal standing and overstepped the court’s authority, that allowed the State’s to infringe upon the 2nd (that power was removed from the State’s authority by the 14th)Amendment), the right to keep and bear arms is still a God given right, for which neither Municipal, State or Federal governments have the legal authority to deny.
slow joe needs to wake up and get with the times?
