Biden Lets Another One Slip Out: “Ban Semi-Autos.”

Published

Seems ol’ Joe trusted the wrong anti-gun comment.

Someone get the Pampers: Joe Biden has suffered another containment failure.

Uh-oh! President Joe Biden seems to have made a little accident. It’s only to be expected when you’re trying to housebreak a gun-grabber. After a lifetime of being swaddled cozily in the soft cotton batting of a mainstream press that will happily absorb all your blue-colored mistakes, it’s hard to start holding them in. Sooner or later, one’s going to sneak out … and rubbing the President’s nose in it seems to have the opposite of the desired effect.

The latest steamy little coil of anti-gun commentary that made its way past the presidential Pampers is particularly revealing: According to our toddler-in-chief, semi-automatic firearms have “no redeeming social value.” His press secretary is busy trying to claim that he didn’t say what we all heard him say, and that the smell isn’t what we think it is, but the proof is in the pudding (which is, in turn, in the President’s pants). For a far more polite and less scatological analysis, we’re turning it over to the National Shooting Sports Foundation‘s Larry Keane. Take it away, Larry!

PRESIDENT BIDENโ€™S LAST-DITCH GUN CONTROL DOOZY


By Larry Keane

The White House experienced another case of โ€œclean up on aisle 1600โ€ after President Joe Biden declared unambiguously that all semiautomatic firearms have, โ€œno redeeming social value.โ€

After being asked about the recent murders of innocent Americans at the hands of deranged individuals in Colorado Springs, Colo., and Chesapeake, Va., the presidentย added,ย โ€œZero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers.โ€

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was forced to walk back the presidentโ€™s remarks with record speed.

Ban โ€˜Em All

President Bidenโ€™s Freudian firearm slip isnโ€™t surprising. He frequently boasts of his record of โ€œtaking onโ€ the gun industry before and โ€œwinning.โ€ Thatโ€™s referencing the 1994 ban on so-called assault weapons that then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) supported. In 2019, then-presidential candidate Biden was asked by CNNโ€™s Anderson Cooper about hisย true gun control intentions.

โ€œTo gun owners out there who say a Biden administration means theyโ€™re going to come for my gunsโ€ฆโ€ Cooper began. โ€œBingo!โ€ President Biden interrupted. โ€œYouโ€™re right, if you have an assault weapon โ€ฆ The fact of the matter is they should be illegal. Period.โ€

Fast forward a couple years and the president expanded his wish list of banned firearms to include one of the most popular selling handgun calibers among law-abiding firearm owners โ€“ the 9 mm.

โ€œThe idea you need a weapon that can have the ability to fire 20, 30, 40, 50, 120 shots from that weapon, whether itโ€™s a 9 mm pistol or whether itโ€™s a rifle, is ridiculous,โ€ President Bidenย told supporters.ย โ€œIโ€™m continuing to push to eliminate the sale of those things.โ€

It comes as no surprise then that when asked by media following the tragic murders in Colorado and Virginia, the president vocalized his true beliefs. He wants to ban semiautomatic firearms, including Americaโ€™s most popular selling centerfire rifle and most popular selling handguns. He throws them all under the umbrella of โ€œweapons of war.โ€

Walk-Back Whiplash

At the earliest White House press briefing following the presidentโ€™s remarks, Karine Jean-Pierre, The White House press secretary, wasย askedย to clarify and she walked it back.

โ€œNo. He was talking about, talking about assault weapons,โ€ Jean-Pierreย said.ย โ€œThatโ€™s what he was talking about when asked that question.โ€

There was no follow up to ask Jean-Pierre how the president differentiates between semiautomatic rifles like he wants to ban and semiautomatic pistols as heโ€™s included before. The administration โ€“ and gun control advocates across the board โ€“ would likely be tongue-tied in their attempts to define what they mean by so-called โ€œassault weapons,โ€ or Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs). The truth is itโ€™s the same one-trigger-pull, one-fire technology thatโ€™s been around for more than a century, whether a handgun, a rifle or even several varieties of hunting and recreational shotguns.

Itโ€™s the same definition trouble President Bidenโ€™s failed Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) director nominee and gun control lobbyist David Chipman fumbled through during his confirmation hearing when he struggled to answer the question beforeย finally admitting,ย โ€œSenator, thereโ€™s no way I could define an assault weapon.โ€ President Biden canโ€™t define it, The White House canโ€™t define it and Congressional Democrats who continue to push for stricter gun control canโ€™t define it either.

Time Running Out

There are more thanย 24 millionย commonly-owned, lawfully-purchased MSRs in circulation today, according to NSSF firearm industry data. Law-abiding Americans own many more times that number of 9 mm handguns and according to industry data the gun-owning community has never been more diverse than it is now, with women and minoritiesย leading the buying spreeย over the past few years.

President Biden canย thank himselfย for the growing number of Americans legally buying firearms. In fact, the same number of Americans bought firearms during theย first twelve-monthsย of the Biden presidency alone than did during the first years combined of Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

With Congress returning to Washington, D.C., President Biden has upped his calls for his new โ€œassault weaponsโ€ ban but the door is almost shut. Republicans won back control of the U.S. House of Representatives and will take the majority once the new session begins in January. U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.)ย admittedย there arenโ€™t even enough Democratic votes in the Senate to pass an MSR ban.

Gallup reported that Americansโ€™ support for stricter gun control hasย dropped nine percentย since June and their support for a ban on MSRs is below theย 50 percentย mark for the first time ever. President Biden continues to deny reality on his gun control ambitions โ€“ whether he โ€œmisspokeโ€ or stated his true intentions.
