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.

Duh Phuk it doesn’t

“The right of the people shall be infringed

See Militia Act 1 and II

... the Second Amendment doesn't say that Americans are "entitled" to own guns...

No, it does say that our right to do so "shall not be infringed".

[Mr. K]

Yes it does.

It does not GIVE US the right, it says our EXISTING right, that we have naturally, shall not be infringed.

[Deplorable American1776]

Joe, I think the shampoo you smelled killed the last of your brain cells...Sorry, the 2nd amendment say we can have guns

[shanover]

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED; INALIENABLE RIGHT.

FU Pervert Plugs!

Might reveal why they were so desperate to disarm us all.

No revealing is necessary. History tells us what they want to do, and that is kill non-"progressives."

[jonrick46]

The killing of kids is their way of proving they will go to any lengths. With Marxist socialism in their sights, they will go to any lengths. This authoritarian idiocy seeks to destroy anything that contradicts their beliefs. Crazy Uncle Joe is the embodiment of that idiocy.

Not one Democratic voter is paying attention right now. Biden has name recognition....that is all.

Once debates get underway, expect Biden to be the target of the 21 other candidates. It will be great because the attacks will be on Obama’s ineffectiveness as a leader...and Biden’s support of Obama.

Of course, Biden’s mouth will be the biggest source of attacks on Biden.

Former justice John Paul Stephens recently said the 2nd amendment does not grant individuals the right to own guns.

Technically, that is correct. The Bill of Rights doesn't grant anything. It recognizes rights as pre-existing.

All he has to do is announce that he now identifies as a 30 year old black lesbian woman.

That's how I self-identify, even though I comport myself as a heterosexual middle-aged white guy. I did see Joan Armatrading in concert by accident one time, though.

[Rappini]

I wonder what happened to his shot gun theory.

[TBP]

Hey, Joe, what part of “shall not be infringed” don’t you understand?

[DownInFlames]

Right. That’s why the 1st 10 Amendments are called the Bill of Rights, not the Bill of Wrongs.

[RArtfulogerDodger]

Biden is allowed to spew his cow-splat by his Masters ONLY because his function is to pave the way for whoever they actually pick to run.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Yes. The 5th explicitly says one cannot be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law - yet courts still rule that capital punishment is unconstitutional, even as this amendment directly accounts for it.

The left is nuts and anti-rational

[al_c]

What part of “shall not be infringed” does he not understand?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Where does it say in the Constitution that one person is entitle to the property another has labored for?
