Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire At Latest CNN Town Hall, Biden Suggests Banning Handguns

Surprising this dumb bastard can put even this much thought into a speech.

Question: Who brushes this idiot's pearly white teeth? He obviously isn't capable of it himself.

There are certain advantages to having a senile president, not the least of which is his tendency to unintentionally let the cat out of the bag.

President Joe Biden bumbled through a CNN “town hall” event last night, and along with his usual word salads, he appeared to voice support for a nationwide handgun ban.

“I’m the only guy that ever got passed legislation, when I was a senator, to make sure we eliminated assault weapons. The idea you need a weapon that can have the ability to fire 20, 30, 40, 50, 120 shots from that weapon, whether — whether it’s a .9 millimeter pistol or whether it’s a rifle, is ridiculous,” he said, adding: “I’m continuing to push to eliminate the sale of those things.”

It’s unclear whether by “those things” the president means rifles and pistols or magazines that hold “20, 30, 40…” rounds. Biden’s gun control plan does not express support for a handgun ban, but he does call for a ban on “high-capacity” magazines. Given that state-level “high-capacity” magazine bans outlaw anything that can hold more than 10 rounds, it seems likely that Biden would want the same ban nationally if given the chance.

Banning handguns outright would be a far riskier political move. Support for gun control in general has waned in the past year, and opposition to a handgun ban has grown steadily since the 1950’s. Last year, a full 74 percent of Americans opposed such a ban, while only 25 percent supported it, according to Gallup. That’s the second-highest opposition ever recorded since Gallup started asking the question in 1959.

Suggesting a handgun ban wasn’t the president’s only questionable gun-related comment. At the beginning of his comments on firearms, he made a distinction between “crime” and “gun violence” to argue that guns are to blame for the spike in murders over the last year.

“As you know, because you’re so involved, actually crime is down, gun violence and murder rates are up. Guns,” he said.

He also appeared to claim sole responsibility for the 1994 “assault weapons” ban.

“I’m the only guy that ever got passed legislation, when I was a senator, to make sure we eliminated assault weapons,” he said.

In reality, Biden was joined by 47 other senators in voting for the legislation, and three former presidents, including Ronald Reagan, voiced support for the ban to get it through Congress.

Biden also reiterated his commitment to going after gun dealers across America and made a vague reference go “ghost guns.”

“I’ve gotten ATF out, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. I have them increase their budget and increase their capacity, along with the Justice Department, to go after the gun shops that are not abiding by the law of doing background checks,” he said. “We’re going to do major investigations and shut those guys down and put some of them in jail for what they’re doing, selling these weapons.”

Biden also admitted (apparently unintentionally) that criminals almost always acquire their guns illegally.

“The people who, in fact, are using those weapons are acquiring them illegally. Illegally,” he said.

If Biden knows criminals acquire guns illegally, it’s unclear why he has spent so much of his career supporting gun control measures that only affect law-abiding citizens.

Not surprisingly, neither the attendees nor the moderator, Don Lemon, thought to ask about this clear contradiction. Even if they did, it’s unlikely Biden would be able to form a coherent response.

Fuggers need to read my sig line.

Subtle, but well noted.

Wasn’t that after he and Brady got shot?...

According to the Constitution, Biden does not have the authority. Nobody does.

Not a chance.

We not only have Heller, but other court decisions have overturned magazine capacity limits and other Lib nonsense inflicted on us. It’s piecemeal, but they are losing this fight for the most part. Doesn’t stop them from trying, or playing to the donors, and it helps keep the lawyers busy and well provided-for.

Is that why Hunter had one.

True - but since when did these a-holes abide by the Constitution??

The problem is not just the immediate future of handguns and all gun ownership it's after people like us are gone. Most here can't be indoctrinated into going along with the communist/leftist idea of no guns but our grandkids can and are being taught that guns are bad. You give these people no more than 2 more generations and they will be asked to ban all gun ownership. If these future Americans are to have freedom it's us that need to step up and do something. Forget about being a coward and let your mind wander on the idea of what that "something" is. Here's a hint, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. God help us!

Jim, that is the fear I have. That those who come after us will not have the fortitude, or initiative for that matter, to continue to push back against the gun grabbers.

Without guns in the hands of citizens, the future of our country is a foregone conclusion. Not a mystery novel.

I'd rather take care of business now, before I'm too old to do so, than leave that duty to our kids and grandkids.

Make enough of an impression, and maybe it won't rear it's ugly, Marxist head for awhile.

Hunter needed protection from all the crack dealers he associated with.

The left has no restraint. Remember in the past how they masked their true intentions? They've quit doing that for the most part. I used to think it was our side that would start a shooting war in this nation but I was wrong. If they had restraint they'd leave us alone but it's getting harder for them to do that. No they will let their lust overcome them and they will force our hand. It's somewhat like what happened in Kenya with the Mau Mau Uprising. The leaders were secretly training the tribes and these people were to wait until everything was in place for the all out attack on the whites. The problem was the lust for the killing overcame the "generals" and a few jumped the gun. That gave the whites an insight and a little time to react. I hope our enemies overplay their hands toward us.

Those town halls are some of the creepiest, Orwellian events I’ve ever seen.

But this morning’s Olympics ceremony came pretty close.

He has been a babbling mouthed anti-gunner his entire 40+ years in the Swamp. No big surprise.

F uck Biden and the horse he rode in on !

The the current administration has bowed to the UN.This was the home page photo for the UN in 2020.

Jim, I agree.. and am old enough to remember how the left masked their true intentions in the past. They no longer do so, either because they think they're close enough and strong enough now to push their totalitarian agenda (socialist, communist; call it whatever you want) over the top, or they feel they must get it done now during this period of opportunity with their control of the 3 branches.

Like you, I also believe their reckless lust for "the final solution" has removed any restraint from their minds and clouded their ability for strategic thinking.

In other words, their hubris is ill-founded and they are prime for the picking, if and only if, we can get the ballot and Dominion problems resolved.

if these liberal snowflakes are reading our comments ,read this > i just ordered a new Ruger Super Redhawk 44 mag. today ! > we need President Trump back as president soon , i hope this August 2021 is when it happens !

Some are old enough to remember ordering firearms off shotgun news. They were delivered right to your house.
I would say we are losing ground.
Biden just told you the long term plan.
Big companies have 10,20 and 30 year plans. The commies do too. Hasbeen
