Even as he lives under constant armed protection, President Biden is open about his desire to take away Americans’ most effective means of protecting their own lives.

Biden even joked about it recently, mocking ordinary citizens’ ownership of certain firearm magazines: “What—do you think the deer you’re hunting wear Kevlar vests? What the hell you need 20 bullets for? You must be a hell of a terrible shot.”

Here’s a better question: Who is Joe Biden to dictate how peaceable Americans will defend their lives and loved ones?

Your self-defense choices are yours to make, not the President’s nor any politician’s.

And while President Biden may be ignorant on the matter, countless Americans know exactly what is at stake. Instead of mocking the people’s exercise of a natural right, Biden and his fellow gun controllers should read some horrifying real-life stories and find out what a 20-round magazineis used for.

Running out of ammunition at the wrong moment is more than a nightmare: it could mean death at the hands of an intruder. Magazines are a critical tool for surviving some of the worst situations imaginable — situations that occur all too often, in a nation where murder rates are rising and hundreds of thousands of violent home invasions occur each year.

Or rather how you’re not allowed to defend yourself and your family.

Washington State has become a Left Coast cesspool that has been dominated by DemonKKKrats for decades. I know many who have packed up and left for more sane areas of the country. If this state is so in favor of abortion, why don’t they do abortions on the crap they have ruled on as policy?

Look, the only problem here is that you people don’t understand that the value of your life and your family’s lives does not compare to the lives of your rulers and your betters. You need to stop thinking that the lives of your spouse and children are somehow of similar value to the lives of your rulers. They are not. So the problem here is you.

Circa 1962 as a 15 year old kid I would hunt the deserts of West Texas and later the swamps of South Louisiana when we moved there. My weapon was a mail order 22 long rifle bolt action and a single shot 20 gauge shotgun. I hunted. When I got home I cleaned my weapon. My weapons lived in my bedroom with ammunition. The concept of using those weapons in an illegal fashion was totally foreign to my thinking. When I turned 13 is the day my grandparents whom raised me allowed me to have those weapons in my room. It was a rite of passage.

“if a solid citizen wants to protect himself from those criminals he will be charged and his life ruined.”

New York City owes Bernie an apology...
