Democratic 2020 hopeful Joe Biden has claimed that the Second Amendment doesn't say that Americans are "entitled" to own guns as he reaffirmed his position concerning the Constitution for his presidential run.The former vice president admitted that the “Second Amendment exists” but argued during a speech at a campaign stop in New Hampshire on Tuesday that it doesn't say that Americans are “entitled” to own a gun. Biden made the comments while taking questions at a small outdoor venue. “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," Biden explained to a small crowd of his supporters.

Biden obviously doesn't understand why it is correct to refer to the Rights which the Constitution "enumerates" - as opposed (falsely) to Rights which the Constitution "grants."

Idiot!

No it doesn't "entitle" a citizen to a firearm. There's no Constitutional right for every citizen to be issued a firearm by the Government.

What the 2nd Amendment *does* guarantee a citizen the right to obtain a firearm (at his/her own expense)...*if* he/she chooses to do so and,once obtained,he/she has the right to "keep" that firearm *and to "bear" it.

Joe Biden: 2nd Amendment Doesn’t Say Americans are ‘Entitled’ to Own Guns


He’s right. The constitution doesn’t tell us what rights the government grants. It tells us what God given rights the government can not take away. And bearing arms is one of those God given rights.

BTW, if you want to know if God gave you the right to do something, try to do it. If you can, you have that right. I have the right to murder, but God will not respect my decision to do so. And because the government does not want us running around choosing who to murder, the right is not protected in the constitution.

I suppose we’re “not entitled” to the other nine Amendments either.
Go to hell, joe. You forking pedophile.

So we’re entitled to free health care, free college, free food, free housing and free money, but we’re not “entitled” to keep and bear arms, the one thing in that list that’s actually mentioned in the Bill of Rights?

I think I understand why he was speaking to “a small crowd of his supporters.”

The Second Amendment says Slow Joe Biden doesn’t get a say or pass a law that infringes on the right to keep and bear arms.

That requires a Constitutional amendment.

And an order from G-d.

Biden and the rest of the Democrat politicians can all take turns on Biden’s double barrel anti-air shotgun, and the world would be better off for it.

When he’s violating a child, he probably considers his own arms as bear arms.

Newton never said we are “entitled” to gravity, yet...here we are.

If Joe had his way there'd be a 'feet on the ground' tax, or some such.

Gun grabbing is the first item commie-clown-dems discuss after a shooting; so, what else could be on their sub-pea-sized minds?
