biden is so full of crap.
The day his (obama’s) admin goes after the gangs in DC, Baltimore and Chigongo I will believe them.
Their intention is to disarm American patriots while allowing black in the inner cities and Mexican drug cartels to kill as many as they want to.
Tell him to make that restriction on the military and then I will consider his request.
If the military has it I want it too.
If a government can dictate what forms of protections that we, The People may have, then what happens when/if that government turns radical?
(Which looks like the leftists in power are trying to accomplish even as we speak!)
Tench Coxe, a member of the second rank of this nation's Founders and a leading proponent of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, wrote prolifically about the right to keep and bear arms.
Coxe described the Second Amendment as guaranteeing an individual right, and believed that an individual right to bear arms was necessary for self-defense and hunting, as well as for militia purposes and protection against oppression by large standing armies.
(Yes, even our own!)
As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the next article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. (
Tench Coxe in ‘Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym ‘A Pennsylvanian' in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1)
"Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves?"Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom.
Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American.... [T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people."
(Tench Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.)

TENCH COXE Affordable only for the rich.
Tell that to my two 42 capacity gun safes brimming with steel on the inside and a third one full of ammo to feed my beasts.
Been buying and stocking up for over 25 years.
