Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden is calling for a "rational" gun ban in America, arguing that weapons such as AK-47s couldn't protect citizens from a tyrannical government.Former Vice President Biden said Sunday that he believes having a “rational policy” on guns means making sure that people can’t have “50 clips in a weapon.”

"...couldn't protect citizens from a tyrannical government"

Only about 535 run our current government, and probably
not too much more than half of them have gone tyrannical.

Now if we were talking about a tyrannical military, or a
tyrannical police, that might be another matter.

Is “rational” above or below “common sense” on the “We want to take all of your guns” list?

I don’t know anything about guns but it seems to me that an AK-47 could probably do quite a bit of damage. Biden is a total moron. If he is named to run against Trump I’m sorry it’s already going to be Trump in a landslide but especially so if it’s Biden

The AK-47 has stood up to a superpower for nearly 20 years in Afghanistan pretty good Hatchet Face Joe. Unless you intend to use air strikes on US citizens, then it gets really nasty.

AK-47s couldn’t protect citizens from a tyrannical government>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Joe is underestimating a few million riflemen . In history, naysayers notwithstanding, , American educated Japanese Admiral Yamamoto had it right, “If Japan invaded America there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”

Nothing really has changed Joe. Its still the same.

Will you attempt a constitutional amendment Joe? Good luck with that, shot gun Joe.Meanwhile you cower behind a fully armed secret service detail , telling us all we could not protect ourselves from your hoped for , liberal fascist government? Why then is the Dem Party and Bloomberg dedicated to taking our guns then? We see right through you Joe.

Its in Plain English Joe:

“......the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed ...”

Pilots who fly jet fighters and shoot hellfire missiles at Americans have to stop at the gas station sometimes. Their kids go to school. Their wives live in town. Fuel has to get delivered to the base, in some lonely tanker truck. Our bases are ridiculously unsecured because they aren’t intended to fight the American people.
The American military is in beatable as long as it’s an away game. If fence of dystopian future the US military turned on the American people, they are woefully inadequate in size and temperament. And for extra fun, they would even need to worry about people within their own ranks.

Imagine an Apache helicopter taking off and shooting up its own flight line destroying 7 others. A few days later it is found abandoned on a back country road, the crew is long gone and the engines have been FOD’ed out. The pilots were from Texas and Louisiana, and didn’t enjoy seeing the military turning against citizens.

And if AK-47s are not useful and holding off the US military, I would like him to explain Afghanistan and Iraq to us

By the way, Swalwell threatened to hit us with nuclear weapons. Biden has threatened us with F-15’s and hellfire missiles. Governor Northam threatened us with soldiers from the National Guard.

There’s an old truism, when somebody tells you who they are repeatedly, believe them.

Well first you would have to have a military that was willing to use them against there own countrymen which is doubtful. Assuming that they were willing to do so then any resistance would have to stop the military at there bases and on the ground before they took off. If the military launched missiles at there base then they would hit their own people as well. And also not everyone in government would have those missiles at there disposal. If you imagine it like a video game then one can realize that those missiles have limited use. There are also a limited quantity and new ones must be made at factories which could also be cut off by civilians. So the comparison that Biden is making is pure non- thought out nonsense.

Iraq is about 2/3 the size of Texas. Afghanistan is roughly the same size. They’ve completely bogged down our military and bled them white, And now you say this military can take on something 25 times the Combined the size of Afghanistan and Iraq while standing on top of their own logistical tail?
Of course while doing so absolutely destroy the American economy. When presidential candidates discuss this kind of thing, you actually think I’m gonna simply turn in my guns because you pass a law? Sorry, quit making me feel like a Jew in 1936, it just makes me more determined hold on to my guns.

So QuidProJoe, it sounds to me like you’re making the point that we should have ready access to fully automatic weapons. I’m all for it! Time to propose the elimination of Section 922!

Biden also claimed: “I now have over 58% of the NRA members acknowledging that you cannot own an assault weapon."

Uh huh. Odd, though...I'm a Life Member and I don't remember any poll...

The Daily Wire contacted The National Rifle Association (NRA) to inquire about which poll Biden got his statistics from and was informed that Biden’s claims are false because the NRA is a private organization that does not give out information on its members, let alone for polling purposes.

Guess it must have been Corn Pop calling us all.

I don’t know if it is still true, but for a long time Deer Hunters in PA were the world’s 4th largest standing army.

With plenty of ex-military in their ranks.

“Biden also claimed: “I now have over 58% of the NRA members acknowledging that you cannot own an assault weapon.”

Delusional lying old bitch isn’t even a good lier anymore.

When Plugs puts “cannot” into NRA members’ mouths, does he really mean “should not”?

Gun owners are Biden’s own basket of deplorables now. It’s class warfare.

"Deep state/alphabet agencies really run everything."

I was happy to see a bunch more of them get fired.

It was also interesting to hear overseas reports that the
things Barr and Durham are collecting from the Five Eyes
Agencies are a "real hatchet job" on our own players in
what went down.

It may be time at last to expose it all and begin the
cleanup.

That’s enough malarkey out of you! Joe was rolling with Corn Pop and the boys and they taught him all about how the kids hold their “gats” sideways and put 50 clips in them full of cop killer bullets!

***weapons such as AK-47s couldn’t protect citizens from a tyrannical government.***

Then why is the government so afraid of them being in private hands?
