WH Press Sec: President Biden Did Not Mean Semiautomatic Firearms When He Said Semiautomatic Firearms

On Monday White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre said President Biden’s Thanksgiving Day criticism of semiautomatic firearms was actually meant to be directed toward “assault weapons.”

Real Clear Politics noted that their reporter, Philip Wegmann, asked Jean-Pierre about Biden’s comment:

The president has said repeatedly that he wants to ban assault weapons, but on Thanksgiving when he was in Nantucket, he said: “The idea that we still allow the purchase of semi-automatic weapons in this country today is sick.”

Obviously, that is a huge category of guns from rifles to pistols to shotguns that are not assault weapons.

Did the president misspeak, or does he in fact want to ban all semi-automatic guns?

Jean-Pierre responded, “No. He was talking about assault weapons. That’s what he was talking about on that morning or afternoon when he was asked that question.”

To Biden’s credit his audience entirely agrees with him. Pretty sure no one truly knows the difference between an assault weapon and a semiautomatic weapon. These two are totally different categories that are entirely identical.
This is soooooo stupid and nonsensical

“Lair.”

Biden may return to his lair; but does it have ice cream?

Well, is there anything said by Biden that they haven’t had to apologize for or explain?

Why did he say it if he didn’t mean it? Is Ms. Jean Pierre the arbiter of what the President means and doesn’t mean?

“Is term that was coined by the media. The military uses ‘small arms’.”

Yes, for individual use. Then there are crew-served weapons which bring a far bigger bang. I’d not want to be on the receiving end of any of them. Hell, I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of a .22LR.

Wouldn’t you love to see exactly how many times Joe’s babbling has had to be corrected?

It’s got to be in the hundreds. He’s a world-record setter in this regard and Guinness should wake up.

No, not really, just saying that “small arms” is even more broad of a category than “semiautomatic” or “assault weapon”. A black powder pistol would even qualify as “small arms”.

Crew served weapons are not called assault weapons either within the military. Those are “crew served weapons” or “heavy weapons”.

I saw an Uzi 9mm at a gun show. The guy wanted $19,999 for it.

Thank you! “assault weapon” goes hand in hand with “Democracy” with this bunch, and I’m tired of it. People need to start educating themselves, or we’re done! :(
