President Joe Biden on Thursday announced another executive order on gun control, this time to regarding “red flag laws.” During his remarks, we saw a president who was truly not all there as he ranted and raved against the Second Amendment, telling lies not only about gun control, but his political opponents as well.
Earlier this month, the AP posted a headline claiming that Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) referred to school shootings as "fact of life." It was so egregious the outlet was forced to delete it, but the narrative persisted. Biden repeated it on Thursday, three weeks later, though he slurred his way through and incorrectly referred to Vance as "Secretary Vance."
"I'm going to be very blunt," Biden said, as he proceeded not to be and repeat a falsehood. "Secretary Vance of Ohio has called these 'facts of life,'" he continued, as the crowd reacted. The president's tone then turned to screaming as he wanted to know, "Who the hell do these people think they are?!"
Biden refers to Senator JD Vance as "Secretary Vance," then regurgitates the debunked lie that he dismissed school shootings as "facts of life."
That's a disgusting lie from a man in cognitive decline (which Kamala covered up). pic.twitter.com/dsqhN71YTZ — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 26, 2024
In reality, Vance had deeply lamented school shootings, and he called to stop make them soft targets. "I don’t like that this is a fact of life," he actually said. "But if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets. And we have got to bolster security at our schools."
Biden's not the only one to promote this lie, as the Harris-Walz campaign, the DNC, and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, have also repeated it.
The president also repeated a lie about Americans not being able to buy cannons, though that's been thoroughly debunked for years. He still keeps repeating it, though.
"I taught constitutional law for years, constitutional law," he slurred. It was then that he started screaming once more. "Never was the Second Amendment meant to be absolute. Back when it was passed, you could not own a cannon! No, I-I'm not joking," he insisted as the audience started laughing.
BIDEN: The Second Amendment was “never meant to be absolute!”
“You could not own a cannon!”

Even The Washington Post's Glenn Kessler awarded Biden "Four Pinocchios" for this lie. "Biden has already been fact-checked on this claim — and it’s been deemed false. We have no idea where he conjured up this notion about a ban on cannon ownership in the early days of the Republic, but he needs to stop making this claim," Kessler wrote in a fact-check from three years ago.
It's particularly embarrassing that Biden presents himself as someone who was a law school professor.
The clip of Biden didn't just involve butchering the Second Amendment, but also a President Thomas Jefferson quote. "People are like, the, uh, you know, the, uh, the liberty of Americans is watered with the blood of patriots. Like hell," Biden continued, to more laughter from the crowd. "I'm serious, think about it," he insisted, gesturing for emphasis. "Think about it! It was never absolute--never, never, never, never!" After whining like a petulant child, he told the crowd, to more applause, "It's time we increase funding for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives."
The correct Jefferson quote is, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
He may be gone mentally, but Biden is still somehow our sitting president, and Vice President Kamala Harris covers up for it. Meanwhile, she has claimed she's a gun owner, though she's raised some serious doubts and has been an irresponsible one at that. Further, Harris also supports gun confiscation.
RKBA ping.
But it is enjoyable to watch as he knows he’s a turd circling the bowl
President Joe Biden on Thursday announced another executive order on gun control.
He’s going to make the IRS give up their guns and the postal system give up their millions of rounds of ammo?.
Sounds right huh Moe.
/s
Red Flag Xao Bi-Dung. SWAT raid him and take away his red button. He is mentally defective.
“like a petulant child...”
Just one more indication that he’s in mental decline of some sort......my suspicion is angry dementia
Cannons, like modern day select-fire rifles, were able to be owned but prohibitively expensive to purchase, maintain, and feed. It would be nice to get back to a time when I could own a belt fed SAW if I want, and can afford, one.
Assuming that is true, any of his students should demand their money back.
You could own a cannon then, and you can even own a cannon now. Biden is a lying fool.
The 2A was created to protect We The People from lecherous political vermin like him.
Go away already. You are Waaaay past your Use By date.
NOW he did it!
Now EVERYONE will want a cannon.
Though I must add...it would look good in most front yards.
...better than a lawn jockey anyway.
If I put one in my front yard my neighbors would have to purchase a bigger one. Cannon envy.
We’re talking about a person that was the only one in a room full of people including obama that said don’t take out bin Laden when the opportunity presented itself......why would anyone say no to that?
American citizens can still legally buy and own a cannon to this day.

Cannon envy....HA!
executive orders were intended to handle internal administration of the executive staff. like moving the candy machine closer to the Oral Office.
NOT to substitute for or override Congress in the enactment of laws impacting the rights and liberties of American citizens.
Assuming that is true, any of his students should demand their money back.
The last 3 years plus shows us what a workaholic Joe is.
Well, Joe, "we" are people who disapprove of making repeated attempts to destroy our political opponents' lives by employing every dirty method at our disposal.
You, on the other hand, have been at it for decades...remember Clarence Thomas? But wait, Joe; you are now senile, as well as always being vicious... and want to take away my tater canon.
My front yard is kind of on the small side so I could support a cannon that Higgins used on Magnum PI.
The peasants cheered...
There is absolutely no hope for reunification of the Disunited States of America...
Just as was predicted by one of the candidates for president in 2000...
