Joe Biden immediately attacked law-abiding gun owners and used the debunked claim that the 2nd Amendment banned cannon ownership.
“There’s no Amendment that’s absolute,” Biden said on Thursday, attacking the 2nd Amendment.

Facebook is full of civil war cannon groups.
Some of them sell trade and or manufacture them.
They have clubs. Its a riot. The big guns fire bowling balls.
They’ve already achieved tyranny.
The man LOST the election by big numbers.
He’s not the elected President. He was installed over protest.
That’s the functional definition of a tyrant. We aren’t free anymore.
About 30 years ago, I was doing some work at an oil refinery in the Beaumont Port Arthur, Texas area. This is where the Spindle Top oil field was located and the refinery was originally built in that era of the early 1900s. BTW, Spindle Top is still in operation producing lotta lotta oil.
So, I went to the company cafeteria for lunch and the old building had a cannon sitting out front. You don't see that every day. There was a sign at the cannon that told its story
The cannon was Spanish American War surplus and purchased by the company. This was not some demilitarized cannon but fully functional. During the first few years at the refinery, the cannon was shot off as a signal marking shift changes and such.
So…. The refinery had fire in tank farm. There were lots of fires in the oil fields and refineries in those days. Someone had the idea to use the cannon to snuff out the tank fire so they loaded it with shot and boom fired on the tank. The shell went through the first tank then punched a hole in a second tank so now there was a bigger fire. Some time after that the cannon was retired from signal duty but kept around as a memento.
So much for cannons and the second amendment banning private ownership,
Only Biden’s Leftist unconstitutional government is absolute in its illegality and invalidity.
I sold my Heavy 1847 12 pounder to a pair of brothers in Clear Lake, Wisconsin, that owned over 100 cannon...many of them from the Civil War.
Time to make it so that people are free to buy cannons.
Exactly!
The dummies need that tattooed on their foreheads with a hammer.
"He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:"
Its like we are occupied by a hostile foreign power.
Look on line, plenty are available.
Sheesh.
Don’t let the homies hear that. they might start attempting naval tactics on the high asphalt :D Drive by Broadsides and what not.
Bill of Rights means its; contents each one is a Right.
viz. practice makes perfect.

I can get you an Oerlikon 20 mm cannon.
Just tell me where to mail it. For $20 I’ll send it FedEx.
(OH, yeah, everyone wave ‘Hi’ at the nice people monitoring this page!)
I understand. It isn’t funny.
But it is comical how absurd our country has become, that we have a president who passes gas before the Prince and Princess of England, can’t remember where he is or what he’s saying, makes stupid world decisions...I could go on, but alas, now I’M DEPRESSED.
Other demographics historically vote democrat. Should we repeal the amendment that gave them the right to vote as well?
How is banning someone from voting based on sex any different than banning someone from voting based on race?
Do you really want the government deciding who can and cannot vote? Are you really in favor of that kind of tyranny?
I was thinking about Biden focusing on guns. Yes there are a lot of shootings but I seem to remember multiple attempts to shove people in front of sub way trains and one that actual killed an outstanding young women. A lot of people have been attacked and killed with knives. Guns are a problem but THE problem is tying cops hands, scum prosecutors and activists that favored criminals ver victims. But the real problem is the human soul. Until we turn to God we will be lost
Yep. we have our share of Glowies. And?
I am John Hancock.
I have a cannon. I have only accelerated potatoes
I could only find one store in my state that stocked and sold the proper black powder.
They said the atf was conducting lots of random surprise paperwork inspections.
This is the cannon I want but the ammo is impossible to get nowadays.
That’s why it’s called the Minority Occupation Government
