Joe Biden: Second Amendment Does Not Say You’re ‘Entitled’ to Own a Gun

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.

Biden, who was taking questions at a small outdoor venue, then added, “By the way, if one of you left the keys in your car down the street, and a kid comes along and jumps in it and takes off, you could be held liable civilly for that. So if you own a gun, put a damn trigger lock on it. Put it in a case. You have an obligation.”

Damn it all. Gropin' joe is right on this one. The 2nd says the government shall NOT infringe on our rights to keep and bear arms. Not working out so well in a lot of places currently.

Joe's take:

IF we "let"you own a gun, you damn well better make sure its useless for self-defense!"

I suppose the Civil Right’s Act doesn’t say you’re “entitled” to Civil Rights protections either.

Perhaps we should have a new entitlement. Tax credits for purchase of a gun and enough ammo to remain proficient.

The ‘rats and RINOs are moving to get insurance companies involved in our 2nd. If you own a gun, at some point, they’ll want a safe in your house.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Seems pretty clear, Joe.

So... The 2nd guarantees me the right to keep and bear someone else’s gun, if I steal it? Dumb Joe, pandering to his favorite constituency again.

So I guess Joe thinks “shall not be infringed’ means no stringy borders allowed.

That’s true. You gotta buy your own. Not an entitlement.

I’m aboslutely certain that the First Amendment doesn’t say we HAVE to listen to him!

what an IDIOT, he won’t even read the Constitution...after all these years on the public dole, too... he had to swear to uphold and defend the constitution every time he gets a renewal of his welfare check every 4 or 6 years.............and he STILL hasn’t read it!

and most unfortunately most of the idiots seem to want to take away American citizen’s liberties and impose a complete permanent dictatorship

Hi.

“They just don’t get it, do they?”

No they don’t. Which could lead to a miscalculation, which could lead to a conflagration.

But only the "right kind of safe. And then the lobbying and corrupt money will be flowing all over the place.

Actually, if he is going to attempt to lamely parse words in the Constitution, then maybe we should get a venue to shut him down and throw him out when he attempts to CHARGE for his speeches. After all, the Constitution only guarantees the right to FREE speech! :)

Gee Joe; entitlement means you have the right. That is pretty damn close to what they meant.
