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.

Boy, all the Dems running just love to punch themselves in the face.

They have it coming. I don’t care who does it.

It's good that you can't see yourself as others do.

They are on a blitz with this right now. Former justice John Paul Stephens recently said the 2nd amendment does not grant individuals the right to own guns. That the 2nd amendment was concerning only state militias.

The left has been pushing that for years now suggesting you don’t have a right to arms.

Well, technically it just says we can “keep” and “bear” them, not “own” them. I guess Joe thinks the government should own all the guns and just loan them out to us like library books?

Be careful what you ask for. What about this scenario. Biden picks Kamala Harriss for running mate. Biden gets elected as oldest president in history. Biden dies in office. Hello President Kamala Harriss.

The left thinks the 2nd amendment was only meant to protect state militias. Liberal judges also believe this. They think the Feds can disarm you, just not state militias.

That is their interpretation of the 2nd amendment. It’s a perfect example of how they like to twist the constitution.

Biden will not be the nominee.

Biden could easily be the democrat nominee. All he has to do is announce that he now identifies as a 30 year old black lesbian woman.

I have the right to murder,

I get what you are saying, I'm gonna pick a nit here, though. You don't have a "right" to murder, you have the "ability". God flat out tells us in the 6th Commandment, "Thou shalt not murder". So, I would argue that it's not ones right to do so.

Yeah, to be more precise, I mean that God gives you the right to CHOOSE to do it. And, at the end of the day, since you can successfully do it, it means God gives you the ability and, therefore, the right to do it. Otherwise you couldn’t do it. Kinda like he doesn’t give you the right to breath underwater without an artificial air supply.

So your “nit” is reasonble. I’m just giving the “at the end of the day, this is what it means, practically speaking.

And back to the point of the OP, the constitution calls out what God makes us “able to do” that the government shall not infringe upon.

I doubt Biden or the majority of Democrats has ever grasped that.

Actually THE MILLER DECISION by the SCOTUS states that heavy, “items of great value”, “crew-served” & “special weapons” are to be ISSUED by the government to “the militia”, IF the militia NEEDS such items as heavy artillery, bombs, rockets, pyrotechnics, armed vehicles, etc. for their “defense of city, state & nation”. = The SCOTUS found in MILLER that it was “unreasonable” to REQUIRE that individual members of the common militia would have to provide such expensive items “to the common defense” IF/WHEN the member reported for militia duty.

What does “keep and bear arms” mean then Joe?

The left never fails to make imbeciles of themselves do they?

His mouth is making sure of that. It'll take a while for his brain to catch up and realize that.
