Biden claims it's 'sick' to allow sales of semi-automatic weapons

After visiting with firefighters in Nantucket, Massachusetts on Thursday, President Biden took questions from reporters.


When the recent Walmart shooting was brought up, Biden called for stricter gun laws, and said the fact Americans are still able to buy and sell semi-automatic weapons is "sick."



"I'm sick and tired of these shootings," he replied. "We should have much stricter gun laws." After moving closer to the press and wishing everyone Happy Thanksgiving, he went back to addressing the issue.


"Look, the idea that we're not enforcing red-flag laws, period, just based on knowledge, not on parents saying or a loved one saying you should arrest this person now for his own sake, is ridiculous," Biden said. "We got one of the first red-flag laws in the state of Delaware, and my son Beau was the one enforcing it, and it made a lot of difference. It saves lives."

"Number two," he continued, "the idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It's just sick. It has no, no social redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single, solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers."


When asked what he planned to do to crack down on guns over the next two years during his "lame duck," Biden said he would "try to get rid of assault weapons."

You're the sick one, you POS.

Every time biden opens his mouth, we all see it (even if some will never admit it) I wish they'd keep him muzzled/hidden for the next 2 years.

Pres Biden is right on. Semi and auto weapons are waste of ammunition and a waste of life when in the wrong hands. A tool for the weak and and stupid to do what exactly. Anyone who is serious and has used rifles for target practice or hunting knows that or should know that. I can't imagine what bullets cost today, we used to reload shells. Of course if you are a cowardly mass murderer they come in handy, enough examples out there for the thoughtful person.

"The shooter is almost always male. Of the past 129 mass shootings in the United States, all but three have been men. The shooter is socially alienated, and he can’t get laid. Every time you scratch the surface of the latest mass killing, in a movie theatre, a school, the streets of Paris or an abortion clinic, you find the weaponised loser. From Jihadi John of ISIS to Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris at Columbine, these men are invariably stuck in the emotional life of an adolescent. They always struggle with self-esteem – especially regarding women – and sometimes they give up entirely on the possibility of amorous fulfilment. There are different levels of tactical coordination, different ostensible grievances and different access to firearms, but the psyche beneath is invariably the same."

A revolver is a semi-automatic weapon. So Biden is proposing we go back to muskets or does he just have no idea what he is talking about. [rhetorical]

"If you want to protect yourself, get a double-barrel shotgun. You don't need an AR-15. It's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and in fact, you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun."

Four Mass Shooting Truths To Shut Down Your Liberal Family Members At Thanksgiving Dinner

he media is shifty when it comes to mass shootings.

The recent mass shooting in Colorado Springs is the 601st mass shooting in 2022. There have been four mass shootings since then, but you likely haven’t about them. You probably didn’t hear about most of the previous 600 shootings, either. Why is that? Because the left is keeping secrets. Let’s talk about what they don’t want you to know about mass shootings and why, so you can dominate your commie relatives at the Thanksgiving dinner table.


Mass Shooting Secret #1: The AR-15 Is Not a Mass Shooter’s Weapon of Choice



Mass Shooting Secret #2: Most Mass Shooters Aren’t Angry White MAGA Dudes
No mass shooting argument is complete without a bolshie screeching that “angry, white men” are responsible for the lion’s share of mass shootings. Again, this lie warrants five whopper Pinocchios. Also, it’s where your lib-in-law will lose its gender-free mind when you show him/her/zhim this article.


As I’ve written before, most mass shootings are committed by black men.


Mass Shooting Secret # 3: Fudging the Numbers
The liberal guntards are happy to screech that mass shootings are on the rise. In fact, this is true. The nation saw 611 mass shootings in 2020, and we will easily beat that by the end of Thanksgiving weekend this year. There were 690 multiple-victim shootings in 2021.

The left likes to pull some gun-grabbing chicanery at this point. They are happy to point out the 600-plus mass shootings but conveniently leave out that most are drive-by, drug-related, gang-related, or just pointless party shootings. Again, this omission is likely due to the race of those spreading mad brass around our major cities. The commies will scream about the number of mass shootings (because it fits the narrative) while conveniently forgetting to mention who is pulling the triggers, as this wouldn’t work with the liberal brainwashing scheme.


Mass Shooting Secret # 4: Mass Shootings Are a Tiny Proportion of Gun Murders


As of today, Gun Violence Archive states that roughly 15,608 people have been murdered with guns in 2022. (This doesn’t count defensive shootings and unintentional shootings.) Of those, around 545 people were killed in mass shootings. This means mass shootings make up 3.49% of all gun-related murders. Yet, the apparatchiks in the mainstream media would have us believe mass shootings are a major cause of death in the United States.

SHOCK-O-RAMA! More than 500 Americans are hit by lightning every year, making the chance of getting killed in a mass shooting and getting hit by lightning about the same.

What Have We Learned?


We have learned that the media is very picky about which mass shootings make — and stay in — the headlines. If the shooting doesn’t fit the narrative, it’s almost like it never happened.


We know that those big, scary AR-15s — and those pesky high-capacity magazines — aren’t the weapon of choice for mass shooters, though the bum lickers in the liberal news media would have us think otherwise.


We also figured out that mass shootings make up a tiny fraction of murders in the nation, yet they get most of the media ink. And we learned most shooters aren’t drooling white men in MAGA hats.


So what gives?


There are two bogus narratives oozing out of the liberal press: White guys are the biggest domestic problem facing the nation; and AR-15s pose a threat to the population. Neither is true.


My humble opinion is that the Democrats have been hijacked by globalists who want us unarmed. You know — the way Hitler, Stalin, and Mao wanted their people defenseless. If a government wants its population unarmed, they are probably up to no good.


The leftists are using mass shootings to take away the AR-15. They happily stand on the bodies of dead kids, gay people, and anyone else viciously murdered in a mass shooting to propagate their lies. I almost think they look forward to these violent incidents.

"Well, the way in which we measure it is--I think most scholars would say--is that as long as you have a weapon sufficient to be able to provide your self-defense. I did one of these town-hall meetings on the Internet and one guy said, "Well, what happens when the end days come? What happens when there's the earthquake? I live in California, and I have to protect myself."
I said, "Well, you know, my shotgun will do better for you than your AR-15, because you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door."

A shotgun at a relatively short range could cause much more damage than an AR-15 in a mass shooting.
