It appears that Joe Biden is unwilling, or worse yet unable, to let the facts get in the way of his promotion of more gun controls for Americans, and he's being called out for that by a constitutional expert.
Jonathan Turley, a popular analyst and commentator on the Constitution and professor at George Washington University, posted a column this week in the wake of Biden's comments that were prompted by the mass murder in Texas of children in a school.
He headlined his commentary, "President Biden repeats false claim about the Second Amendment," and explained Biden's falsehood, showing he remained "undeterred and uninformed," came in his claim, "The Second Amendment is not absolute. When it was passed you couldn't own a cannon, you couldn't own certain kinds of weapons. There's just always been limitations."
It's a popular refrain for Biden, who earlier publicly claimed, "The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. You couldn't buy a cannon."
And, he falsely claimed, "By the way – it's going to sound bizarre – I support the Second Amendment. But from the very beginning the Second Amendment didn't say you could own any gun you want, as big as you want. You couldn't buy a cannon, when in fact the Second Amendment passed."
"The statement that the Second Amendment is not absolute is certainly true. There are laws that can be crafted within the confines set out under controlling Supreme Court precedent," Turley explained.

The first thing I thought of when that pathetic pea brain mentioned limits on the 2A was yes, people could own cannons back then. Individuals could own their own warship.
Collectors can (and do) own cannons, fighter jets, and tanks today. Whoever or whatever is typing into his TelePrompter must be an idiot or deliberately spreading disinformation. (Almost certainly the latter.)
Biden clearly has cognitive problems . His BS about cannons has been trashed 3 times. Why does he keep repeating it.
It is still legal to own a cannon.
You can own a cannon Now! Dixie Gunworks has them for sale all day long. Google them and you’ll see.

Because the only thing he ever shoots off is his Mouth.
He repeats it because he is a brain dead puppet more concerned where his next sniff is coming from than being competent. Besides, at this point in his dementia, all he can do is read words off a teleprompter, and even HE SUCKS AT THAT!

Second Amendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
WHAT PART OR WORD DOES BIDDEN NOT UNDERSTAND????
Can I buy a blown up Russkie tank from the Ukraine. Bring it here and spend $100,000 getting it back in shape. I will show up at me local gun range and be a sensation.
Just dial in the shell size used.
Probably the same reason he keeps repeating the Trump/Charlottesville bullsh*t. He’s playing to the ignorant.
To say that Biden is an ass is to insult those animals grandly.
The market has a way of working out those sorts of things. If you want to own a battleship, it’s completely possible for the low low price of five billion dollars.
The price of autos would come down precipitously if the 68 GCA was repealed, because people who could afford the price tag would pay up; and eventually, through economy of scale, you’d see a lot of them in private hands and prices would come down. I don’t see a downside to this.
To his “supporters”, as long as it isn’t OMB and mean tweets, they’re fine with this train wreck.
“..It is still legal to own a cannon....”
Yep. A friend of mine owned several civil war vintage ones, including a mint condition french Napoleon. He owned em more as a financial investments, than for actual firing...LOL.
He did fire one of the civil war ones for us one day, but he only did it with a 1/2 charge. That thing was quite impressive...even with only a 1/2 charge. It’s hard to image a whole row of em all going off at full charge. It had to be something to behold....literally deafening.
Yep. Go to a gun show and you can buy anything semi-automatic. Even 30 caliber belt fed machine guns (30 cal and 50 cal). Cash is king there.
