Crazy Uncle Joe Strikes Again, This Time He Takes Aim at Handguns

Former Vice President Joe Biden has been all over the place when it comes to his stance on guns and the Second Amendment, although we know he's no friend to gun owners. Just last month he admitted he would favor a national registry for "assault weapons." He's repeatedly championed the idea of "smart guns," even though the technology doesn't exist. But remember: he continually talks about his shotgun.

Biden made another really dumb yet scary comment during a swanky fundraiser hosted by an Amazon executive in Seattle, Washington this weekend. For $2,800 a head, you too could hear the former veep talk about his latest target: the 9mm handgun.

Is .40 S&W ok? Good old .45? Why 9 mm?

Probably because Joe knows absolutely nothing about firearms.

Maybe because, like the bullets clips used in AR-93s, the bullets used in military sidearms, for the most part, are 9mm thus making them bullets of war? Liblogic.

Biden can only count to as high as he has fingers.
He just forgot about the 10mm

And yet the Hutus and Tutsis slaughtered half a million of each other with mainly machetes.

Romans probably killed many millions with no guns.

Aztecs slaughtered untold folks for sacrifices without guns..

etc. etc.

They want to take guns from non-violent individuals and leave them in the hands of violent criminals.

Biden: “Why shoulda we allow people to have military-style weapons including pistols with 9-mm bullets and can hold 10 or more rounds?”

Because, Joe, it’s not really the American government’s place to “allow” or “disallow” things to Americans. America is supposed to be all about freedom—and that’s “freedom to...”, not “freedom from...”

"Why shoulda we allow people..."

Because, Joe, WE THE PEOPLE have not given you the power to "allow" us our right to bear arms. We have reserved that authority to ourselves, an authority, by the way, endowed to us by the Creator.

Why 9 mm?

My guess is that, like 5.56 and the AR-15, it’s a relatively small, but widely popular caliber. If they can ban those, then it only makes sense to ban the more powerful cartridges, too.

I went to Walmamt, yesterday, for the first time in about a year. Thare’s still a gaping hole in the ammo case, where 5.56 and 7.62 used to be. On either side were handgun cartridges. Lots and lots of 9mm. I guess the AR-9 isn’t a thing, yet.

If/when/or 9 mm gas operated semi-auto pistols are banned, can revolvers be far behind?

My S&W 357 Magnum is a 6 shot mechanical semi-automatic hand gun, and while it is not quite as fast as a gas operated semi, using auto loaders, I can put plenty of rounds down range and it is quite lethal.

First they came for the Jews.
