Biden Calls For Ban On Magazines That Hold '100 Clips'

Concord, NH – Presidential hopeful Joe Biden demonstrated his lack of basic firearms knowledge yet again on Friday, when he declared that citizens should not be able to possess “a magazine with 100 clips in it.”

Biden’s latest baffling comment came during a campaign stop in New Hampshire.

“I believe in the Second Amendment, but nobody says you can have a round – a magazine with 100 clips in it!” he told the cheering crowd.

“100 b-bullets in it,” he stammered a second later, recognizing his mistake.

Understanding basic firearms knowledge has been a struggle for Biden in the past.

During a campaign stop in Iowa in September, he called for a ban on “magazines that can hold multiple bullets in them,” which would essentially outlaw most handguns, The Washington Times reported.

“The idea that we don’t have elimination of assault-type weapons, magazines that can hold multiple bullets in them is absolutely mindless,” he declared during his visit to Cedar Rapids. “It is no violation of the Second Amendment. It’s just a bow to the special interests of the gun manufacturers and the NRA.”

Biden also demonstrated his confusion about firearms terms during a Democratic fundraiser in New York in August.

“There is no rationale for us to have these assault weapons,” he told the 250-member crowd, according to the Washington Examiner. “Who needs a clip that can hold 100 rounds?”

Presumably, Biden was attempting to refer to “high capacity magazines,” not the actual “clips” that feed magazines.

In 2013, then-Vice President Biden advocated for women – including his wife – to use double-barrel 12-guage shotguns for home defense instead of AR-15s.

“You don’t need an AR-15,” he insisted, before listing off a slew of misinformation about the semiautomatic rifles.

Combined PING! and DANG!

BANG!

If pushed, I’ll give up all my magazines that hold 100 clips... but I will ONLY agree to this, if he doesn’t go after all my clips that hold 100 magazines.

It’s not for The Idiot Biden to decide what I need to defend myself.

His idea of firing off both barrels of a shotgun leaves one defenseless.

[SkyDancer]

Yeah, I’m for that. Imagine how heavy that would be?

[McGavin999]

Oh yeah, THAT is a man you want to have in charge!

Good grief

[EEGator]

It’s a reasonable request...

“There is no rationale for us to have these assault weapons,”

Good thing this guy wasn't around in 1773.

Or was he?

People like Biden are either a liar or ignorant when it comes to the Constitution!

The vast majority of people who believe that the government has the right to regulate gun ownership by passing new laws ... have a poor understanding of our Constitution!

Most of the arguments about the Second Amendment ... made by both sides, revolve around a single assumption - that the Second Amendment grants a citizen the right to bear arms.

What both sides fail to understand is that the Second Amendment grants no such right, in fact, the Constitution grants no rights at all!

What the Constitution does do is identify what powers the people grant to the government.

This is the whole purpose of the Constitution - to tell the government what it can and cannot do, our Constitution is a limit on government.

That is why Marxists, Socialist, Progressive Democrats, et al. have such a disdain for our Constitution ...
It is a limitation on Government not a limitation on We The People.

Read the Second Amendment closely.
Nowhere does it state that the people have a right to bear arms but rather that the government cannot infringe on that right.

The framers of our Constitution believed that our right to bear arms is a natural right , not a right to be given to us by government.


Amendment II

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.

That’s it, that is the whole 2nd Amendment. Where does it say that the government gives us any right? It doesn’t, it only says that the government cannot infringe on this right. And when the often used argument arises that we will all be safer if we pass (another) gun law .. I am reminded on how our nations leading members at the time would respond to that ..

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
(Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776)

"I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery".
(Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787)

(Put another way: I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude..)



“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.”
(Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787)



“The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”
(Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788)



There are a ton more references that can be found but the following sums it all up rather nicely ...

Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals- that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government- that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen’s protection against the government.
(Ayn Rand)

Well just about any magazine with ten pages or more, can hold up to 100 (paper) clips.

That must be what he was talking about, because nothing else makes even a smidgen of sense.

[Equine1952]

Wonder how many shells his double barrel holds in its magazine? Also does he know the difference between a magazine and a clip? Or double stack, single stack, or tube type? Lastly do I slide the cartridge down the barrel if it’s a muzzle loader? It’s a good thing stupid doesn’t disqualify you from breathing in Joe’s case. Sheesh.

[adorno]

Well, at least he’s not asking to ban weapons that can kill a person multiple times.

[Cvengr]

They won't be around much longer....

[rockrr]

I have a suitcase that holds a 100 clips. It also holds 100 magazines - usually Hot Rodder or Street Custom ;’}

[jmaroneps37]

Oh no Gropey Joe REALLLY means business now!

[GreyHoundSailor]

Appears as though I’ll have to invest in belt-fed ‘clips’. Sure helps when a moron, surrounded by idiots, attempts to lecture the public on firearm capabilities.
