President Biden took another swipe at Second Amendment supporters Tuesday evening, reminding them that they would "need an F-16" to challenge the U.S. government.
Biden's remarks at a fundraising event in a private residence in California came as he discussed gun violence in America and stressed the notion that Americans do not need AR-15s.
"We have to change," Biden said. "There’s a lot of things we can change, because the American people by and large agree you don’t need a weapon of war. I’m a Second Amendment guy. I taught it for four years, six years in law school. And guess what? It doesn’t say that you can own any weapon you want. It says there are certain weapons that you just can’t own. Even during when it was passed, you couldn’t own a cannon. You can’t own a machine gun.… No, I’m serious."

I learned that while I was at Homestead (early’80s) some Nicaraguans, I believe, were caught walking near the flightline, one night. They were in AF uniforms, but aroused suspicion because the insignia that they wore were not subdued. The AF had changed to subdued insignia, not too long before that. I can’t begin to describe how stupid flightline security was at HAFB, in those days.
I think most military people would defy orders to do a major crackdown on citizens.
I also think that there were more military people in the Jan 6 protest than we’ve been told.
But of government agents raiding our homes is another story, as are out of control thugs because of missing law enforcement
Well, those pesky amendments aren’t absolute. Think anyone would object to infringements on, oh, say, the 13th and 19th? 🤔
Need an F16 to take on the government? Tell it to the Taliban, Brandon.
The Constitution (Article 1, Section 8 — not the 2nd Amendment) empowers Congress to arm the militia, a duty that they almost entirely neglect.
But if Biden thinks that Congress is negligent for not supplying the militia with needed F16s, etc., bring it on.
And just to think our woke generals in the Pentagon, love love this POS evil veggie! And I’m tired of hearing boy if this would’ve been Trump, yada yada yada ..the media would’ve immediately gone absolutely ape chit and demand a medical head examination! It ain’t gonna happen it’s not gonna happen and we’re stuck with this POS bastard for the next four more years. Don’t think it’s gonna happen ?… YOU JUST watch.
Our Forefathers saw the need of a Second Amendment because they could foresee a President like Joe Biden.
VMA-211 was dad’s squadron in Korea.
What a Vile, Pusillanimous Toad that guy is.
One man with a rifle can alter the course of history. Thank God I’ve got my eyes back.
Maybe Biden thinks it’s Ok to use Nukes domestically. That would not surprise me.
BTW,
How many F-16’s did Afghanistan have when they evicted Biden?
How many F-16’s did it take to get us to withdraw from Iraq?
How many F-16’s did it take to throw us out of Vietnam?
Well, actually competent, capable, which, of course, you have to train to achieve. Back then you would want any blacksmith work done by a blacksmith who was well-regulated.
**** you Jo Jo. You fascist pig.
And even today, it is possible to own a machine gun.
... my first thought also.
Everyone should read Travis McGee’s “What I saw at the coup”. Very enlightening ...
... and from the bunch that claimed a bunch of unarmed trespassers posed a serious threat to ‘our democracy’. Perhaps the reason they failed was their lack of a fighter jet...
Tell that to the Viet Cong.
Let’s see. The VC, the North Vietnamese, the Taliban, al-Queda and Iran did or do not have F-16s or did the ice cream man mean M-16s. Regardless, the Demented One, “Mr. Above the Law” is full of ... and hasn’t a clue what the hell he’s jabbering about.
