President Joe Biden said Monday that the “Second Amendment was never absolute” and that, after the Texas elementary school shooting, there may be some bipartisan support to tighten restrictions on the kind of high-powered weapons used by the gunman.

“The Second Amendment was never absolute,” Biden said. “You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed. You couldn’t go out and buy a lot of weapons.”

Biden said he’d not spoken to Republicans on the issue “but my guess is ... they’re going to have to take a hard look.” Biden said he had taken some executive actions on guns “but I can’t outlaw a weapon” and can’t “change the background checks.” The president and first lady Jill Biden, whose veteran son Beau died of brain tumor in 2015, attended church near their home in Delaware and visited their son’s grave early Monday morning.

Nothing Rational, if they act is because they are scared to lose votes

There r 5 Justices on SCOTUS who believe 2ndAmendment is absolute & these 4 justices also believe in original intent. Those 4 are also ideologues so no reasoning will matter

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!!! POTUS

Screaming blood into the void

Joe hasn’t gotten anything right so what does he know about the constitution? Damn nothing!

Show me one of these mythical 'rational Republicans '

maybe its time to not be beholden to words written by a bunch of farmers in 1787, its 2022, they had no idea what weapons would be like, and the constitution is open to be able to change, no way it is meant as absolute, but a bought and sold GOP court says otherwise, money won

Exactly. The 2nd amendment but jobs want everything & nothing taken as the over use & inflate its iteration. Have you handgun, shotgun, bolt action rifle for protection or wild animal co trip etc. ar15, all mods that can make a standard gun semi, more powered etc show be banned

Surprise! Biden isn't going to do anything.

You can hunt with bolt action rifles. You can use a shotgun for birds, you can carry a revolver for protection. Allowing people to own these firearms is hardly 'taking away your guns'. Common sense says nobody needs a semi-automatic weapon, nor high capacity magazines.

He isn’t absolute🇺🇸‼️

The child did not use a high powered weapon. You keep making this into a narrative for your agenda. The focus should be on the failure of 6 people who had direct contact with this child who failed to report his behavior!

Nonsense

We need amendments that are precise to current times and technology. They are antiquated as it is. I don't like or agree with Biden though. He's bland like mainstream media.

The 2nd amendment is just that, an amendment. It's not in the constitution, it's a *change* to the constitution. If it was changed, it can be changed back with the same logic, authority and reasoning of governance.

The one time I agree with the conservatives… when they say Biden is senile. Clearly this is proof, thinking there will ever be bipartisanship on gun control.

No such thing.

Repeal the 2nd I’m over these gun nuts!

' RATIONAL ' AND ' SENSIBLE' are not words that I can associate with any Republican lawmaker.

Republicans accept huge donations from the gun industry, not just the NRA. The conservatives need to do soul check before telling who has the right to life.

Self preservation is absolute. AP is Fraud

“…used by the bullied, mentally ill teenager.”

LMAO

Yeah and ur life is about to be anything but absolute buddy

changing guns wont fix mental health

I pray this will be a time when rational people can come together to solve the gun craze we’re currently suffering from in so many areas of our country. My heart breaks for people who’ve lost loved ones.

President Biden is extraordinarily optimistic if he genuinely thinks there's meaningful bipartisan support for tightening restrictions. Not only is it highly unlikely that it would pass, but SCOTUS would never permit it.

An 18 year old bought two AR-15s and more than 700 rounds of ammunition using a credit plan that was approved in seconds that he knew he wouldn’t have to pay back. And it was all legal. Is it any wonder massacres happen?

Sadly, Joe Biden doesn't get it.

This is literally just as bad as saying 2A means I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, with my guns, forever and ever, amen.

Didn’t he swear to uphold the constitution? Now he’s the front runner to destroy it? Sounds impeachable

Biden called all republicans racists - why would they work with him in anything

So with that rational none of the ammendments are absolute according to Biden

أحيا اي دوله محترمه في عالم هي من تحمي مواطنيها وتفرض قيود على حمل السلاح

You mean…common sense?

President Joe Biden, first lady Jill Biden visit Uvalde communitySome Uvalde, Texas community members are thankful for President Biden's visit, but are ready to see real change after a school shooting left 19 students and two teachers dead. I wonder how many grief stricken mothers and fathers find comfort having politicians descend on their children’s memorial for a photo op? I would love to hear them weigh in. There is a sickness in people that think shooting up an elementary school is a way of personal vindication. Our Nation has a sickness within. Greed, sex, and violence.

I still don't understand how come Joe Biden managed to convinced the House the approve $50Billions for Ukraine to buy weapon but couldn't succeed in convincing the same house to vote laws that can regulate the use of fire arm? Is he not human and man enough to act wisely? Has Biden said anything about the fact that the LEO’s he supports did absolutely nothing to save those kids? milez589 The GOP has turned America into a shooting range with our children as their bloodsport.

'It’s too much violence': Joe Biden addresses shootings in Buffalo and Texas during commencement speechPresident Joe Biden called on Americans to 'stand stronger' to make the nation safer while addressing the mass shootings in New York and Texas that killed 31 people combined. He wants us to stop the violence. Hes too old & weak to deal with it. Does he have any plan to protect schools? Biden is deliberately picking fights in EU and Asia to deflect rising domestic tensions. Such as soaring prices, shootings, racism. There's not much Biden can do about it except dole out money and screw the next generation. Biden is destined to be the worst president of the US.
