Biden says Second Amendment is 'not absolute' in call to reinstate assault weapons ban

is"not absolute" in a speech Thursday following a wave of mass shootings across the nation, pleading with to Congress to pass what he called"commonsense" gun control legislation, including reinstating an assault weapons ban, requiring background checks, and limiting magazine capacity., told Americans that the issue of restricting access to guns"is one of conscience and common sense.

The president’s remarks come after a wave of mass shootings in recent weeks in Oklahoma, Texas, and New York.On Wednesday, a gunman killed four and then himself at the Natalie Medical Building at St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, Okla. The president, pointing to new data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said guns are"the number one killer of children in the United States of America."

"For God's sake, how much more carnage are we willing to accept? How many more innocent American lives must be taken before we say enough, enough," Biden continued. Biden’s 2023 budget proposal called on Congress to deliver funding to implement his comprehensive strategy to reduce gun crime and make communities safer.

HOUSE DEMS' GUN PACKAGE TO RAISE AGE LIMIT FOR SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE PURCHASES, BAN 'HIGH CAPACITY' MAGAZINESThe bills contain proposals to raise the minimum age for purchasing a semi-automatic weapon from 18 to 21, a ban on"high capacity magazines," a registry for bump stocks, and more.

Screw u joe. Do something about these gas prices and inflation. Using your quote. 'For God's sake man do something'

The old Sh-t should read Madison in Federalist Papers XLVI

The 2ns Amendment was written for exactly the demotrash government we have now

The administration is going to make crooks out of honest people

Good. Take away ALL his security now. Including, the Secret Service Agents who go to Delaware every week to make sure he doesn’t get lost on his bike. And no protection for all politicians and their family members or Federal buildings, including the Capitol.

Guns are not the problem! Our societal decay is! We as a society are not taught to value life, are not taught to respect others and are taught that we are entitled to act how we want, take what we want, say what we want and we can do it all without consequences! Wake up people!!!

Well not quite a pedo moment but please explain it to me so I can get it clear in my head how this is normal.

Lol okay buddy

What is absolute is the empty space between your ears

Wrong Joe.

Let’s go Brandon!

If Biden was so concerned about 'gun violence' he would of sent in the military to Chicago, NYC & LA enact Marshal Law and rid the cities of illegal guns and drugs and a huge round up of felons wanted for crimes. Instead he's using the massacre in Texas for politics nothing more

How about you actually tackle the problem of mental health in this joke of a country.

So the elites will have guns and police protection. The rest will have no food no guns no jobs lol the liberals have needed the world.

Well isn’t that true the constitution is fluid.

Fox News continues to condone mass murderers to protect gun manufacturers

I call on them to draw up impeachment papers in this order: Biden, Harris and Pelosi. Not sure who’s up after that.

1000% AGREE

If the 2nd Amendment goes, what makes all the lefties think the other ones are off limits? When the line is crossed, theres know going back.

...and he will take them away..one by one until there are none.

The problem is the person. Not the gun. The person is, in part, a product of society’s morality and civility. What is America teaching their children. Let’s start there for the solution rather than taking aim at a lifeless metal object.

'Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited,' Scalia wrote as he laid out certain exceptions. History demonstrates, Scalia said, 'the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose'

Analysis | How the Second Amendment was reinterpreted to protect individual rightsThe idea that the Constitution protects people's rights to own guns for self-defense emerged relatively recently, historians say. Amend the Second Amendment. Make America safe. Get smart don’t get shot. All of the first 10 amendments protect individual rights. They're called the Bill of Rights. Interesting how “originalists” interpreted an amendment that never references an individual to protect the rights of an individual. They completely ignore both the text and context. If the founders wanted to make it an individual right, they could have said so. But they didn’t.
