President Joe Biden again mocked gun owners over the weekend, suggesting they will need F-16 fighter jets if they are really serious about taking on the government.
Townhall reported Biden speaking to reporters, referencing Thomas Jefferson’s famous quote, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
Biden said, “And I love people who say, the ‘blood of liberty,’ or excuse me, ‘the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots.’ Well, guess what, man, I didn’t see a whole lot of patriots that are out there walking around making sure that we have these weapons…And if you really want to worry about the government, you need an F-16.”

Yes
The Viet Cong took out B-52 bombers armed only with rifles. They broke into airbases and sabotaged planes on the ground.
The Viet Cong also had field advantage and were big on going after the families of ARVN soldiers.
Some gun manufacturer needs to introduce a new version of the AR-15 and call it the F-16 or maybe the FJB-16.
Probably. I am just saying world history disagrees that you are powerless unless you have an F-16.

Illegitimate POS. THE biggest criminal in a band of criminals.
He really believes he’s Teflon. Oh, by the way, those F-16’s have
more hours on them then a rented mule.
The Afghani’s didn’t have F16s.
Just sayin'.
How does he know that OUR AF is on his side?-)
What would an F-16 do with insurgents. An aerial dogfight?what city would you bomb? This guy doesn’t need to keep proving he’s an idiot. An F-16 against small arms insurgency would be like using a sword against a mosquito.
Why don’t you tell me what you are really afraid of Joe?
It’s what despots do.
Try telling that to Lech Wałęsa. Or the Mujahideen. Or the Việt Cộng.
Or the American colonials who spat in the face of the greatest military force on the planet.

As usual, Biden is a complete idiot.
Shortly after the Germans invaded Yugoslavia, Tito (then leading the Communists) was asked, “Hiw will your partisans, armed only with old rifles, defeat the Wehrmacht and their new Panzerz?” His reply spoke to not merely tactical and strategic intelligence, but a good sense of humor: “When the Germans get out of their new tanks to take a piss, my partisans will shoot them with their old rifles.
No sensible person takes on an enemy at his strongest, but instead at his weakest. So going against F-16s in flight or Abrams tanks on the move wouldn’t be a thing.
Also, F-16s haven’t been our front line aircraft for a while. So he’s not only an idiot regarding strategy and tactics, he’s way behind the times. Go away, corrupt old perv!
