How about you address the absolute failure of the police to handle this situation? What was it, 1 hour 20 minutes this dude was allowed to go on his killing spree?
This man is ignorant. A cognitive mess. America, our founding Fathers are cringing at our cowardice if we let ignorant politicians assault the Second Amendment… Educate yourself. AR15, “AR” does not mean assault rife, it is an abbreviation of the company name that manufactured the style of firearm. The deranged shooter in Texas could have done the same horrific thing and faster with handguns and 15 round magazines. It’s not the gun or gun type, it’s social media and streaming and culture and moral values that these shooters lack! Stand up for your Constitutional Right that shall not be infringed. Vote any politician Left or Right out of office than supports taking firearms from law abiding citizens….
We can ban guns to save the lives of children, but ban abortions? Hey, c'mon man.
If you take away our guns you better have an armed cop outside my house 24/7 who does absolutely nothing but lookout for the well being of myself and my family only. If not then f#ck off!
Hey Biden, especially since we've seen the lawlessness of your military wing (ANTIFA/BLM), we'll be keeping the guns. And RINOS, stay in line or loose your jobs this November.
If half of the adults in that school in Texas had a permit to carry….this idiot gunman would have been shot dead way before the police got there…simplified for liberal idiots….
FJB
You in fact could own a cannon. Then and now
Relax Biden…This will go like covid…you made people lose jobs, savings, made them take shots and wear masks…Then the Supreme court shoots you down…and it will happen here too. We all know you want guns…all guns. You just lying again as you always do…like today you said, Americans feel financially comfortable now than any time since 2013…BS…gas in Los Angeles is$6.99 a gallon, you give billions of dollars away to other countries, give away our baby formula to again, other Nations, will not secure the boarder. I DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU SAY FROM THIS TIME ON….You have ruined our belief in you as a leader and we are not giving it back to you…your not getting them…hence 2nd Amendment…You cannot be trusted…
Why don’t you address the issue of inner city illegal gun violence that claims the majority of victims in the United States?
Mention that the majority of gun related deaths are suicide.
Discuss the fact that 3 million lives are saved a year by LEGAL guns.
I wish we had a president that cared about ppl in this country vs pushing agendas that hurt the rights and welfare of its citizens.
Once a people like us give up their weapons, tyanny happens
Joe Biden has officially lost his damn mind
The gun fetishes here don't care how many kids die; they act like you nothing more than a hand/pistol as everyday defense. There's a reason why almost every dangerous tool or vehicle, machine etc requires a license. Because it's dangerous, acting like muskets when the constitution was made as if the 2nd amendment as it is is even applicable in today's world. Even Thomas Jefferson said the constitution should change with time.
They are not going to do any more oil extraction and drilling and will let the oil price jeep rising into oblivion and crash the world economy. They have to collect the guns first before the civil unrest and martial law. The western and EU government leaders are only puppets, the actual show is being staged by the elites ( George Soros, bill gates, eon musk, Klaus Schwab's) to control the common people and take away their freedom.
To all the hater’s spreading hate on this feed..you make it obvious you are struggling with mental issues…
His own f**** son did not obey gun laws. I know he has Alzheimer's disease but this is ridiculous
50 cent was shot 9 times with a 9mm
And lived.
FJB
Tell that to Brazilians and cartels in Mexico that behead 50 people a day but does that make the news nope wonder why? Also the u.s and Australia are 2 different countries our mentality and culture are different we have alot more criminals and people that don't follow the law so what works for one country will not work for another the young people in America are 20 x worse then every other country robberies assaults theftts scammers drug dealers until they fix the crime problem in America weren't going to feel safe enough to give up our weapons.
Virtue signaling Biden…The Pentagon Is Protecting and Funding the Same Gun Makers Democrats Want to Regulate
Daniel Defense, the company that made the gun used by the Robb Elementary shooter, has been handed over 100 federal contracts.
In response to the May 24 mass shooting at Robb Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, which left 19 children and two adults dead, President Biden called for a reckoning. “As a nation, we have to ask, ‘When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?” he said on Tuesday. “When in God’s name do we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?”
Yet, his call stands in tension with the U.S. role in global arms purchases. The military that Biden oversees is reliant on a weapons industry that overlaps with the domestic gun industry and, in some cases, these industries are one and the same — a reality put horrifically on display in Uvalde.
Daniel Defense Inc. is a Georgia-based company that manufactured the DDM4 Rifle used by Salvador Ramos to carry out the mass shooting at Robb Elementary. Earlier this year, the company struck a contract for up to $9.1 million with the Pentagon. The deal was
announced March 23 for the production of 11.5” and 14.5” cold hammer-forged barrels for the Upper Receiver Group – Improved.” This product refers to barrels that are used for rifles. The upper receiver is what contains the bolt, which is where the rifle cartridge sits.
The company has received more than 100 federal contracts, and even a few loans, a search through a government spending tracker shows. As the New York Times noted May 26, this includes a pandemic-era Paycheck Protection Program loan of $3.1 million. The contracts date back to at least 2008, when the government spending tracker was created, and most were made with the Department of Defense, but others with the Departments of Justice (U.S. Marshall Service), Homeland Security, State, and Interior.
It’s hard to envision how one could meaningfully curtail the political influence of the gun industry while simultaneously maintaining a foreign policy that promotes their profit and power.”
The United States is home to the largest weapons industry in the world, with all top five global weapons companies based in the country, and these companies boast a small army of lobbyists in Washington.
I love how he said “the constitution second amendment is not absolute” Sir you are wrong because if that is so then the first amendment and all the other amendments are not absolute either which they all are absolute! Instead of spending $1.9 billion on yourselves how about using that money on Hardening schools. You have people with guns protecting others at all your federal and state buildings, banks, concerts, and armed security at planned parenthood buildings that are killing babies. Why not have some people in regular clothes that are concealed Carrying so no one knows. That way they can help protect the kids and staff. If not that then helping the local law-enforcement with funding to allow at least two officers at every school. It blows my mind that one side is willing to spend money to protect themselves instead of kids and staff members at schools. But yet spend money and funding on aborting children kind of contradicts themselves. Also the same people that lift thousands of fully automatic weapons, explosives, night vision, Technical vehicles and personnel transport carriers to the Taliban that we have been fighting for 20+ years now. And to leaving the American citizens an Afghan forces willing to help us through these times of war on their on. Thank you for giving them everything they need to cause more chaos. I’m not saying one side are always angles and the other is always evil but if you could Learn how to find common ground without infringing on peoples God given rights everything would be way better.
😂 Joe: no one needs 9mm
Secret Service/FBI: recently switch back to 9mm for its effectiveness to stop an attacker…
Who voted for this moron?!
At this point in US history, I’d rather have an ABORTION than have my child live in fear, attending school and doing gun fire attack drills. America is just soooo lost
Who cares what the illegitimate fake president says my constitution tells me I can bear arms I don’t give a damn what he says or signs. Means nothing to me. Give the Taliban an army and billions of dollars! Open our borders to no telling who’s coming in and you want to take our guns, Yeah right ain’t happening. It’s not up for discussion.
this man really just said you couldn’t buy a cannon when the 2nd amendment was written into law. the golden era of piracy and naval warfare. 🤨🤨🤨🤨
Maybe shooting people should be illegal. That would stop all the shootings.
HOW ABOUT MAKING IT AS HARD TO GET IN TO A SCHOOL AS IT IS HARD TO GET OUT OF A PRISON? Money. School shootings could be stopped but it would take money, and lots of it. Politicians aren't interested in that so they push gun control that prevents NOTHING.
Child murderers sit feet from family members in court across the country every day and not once has a mom or dad pulled a gun and killed the killer of their child despite their burning hate and desire to do it. WHY??? Can't get a gun in a courthouse but they walk right in to a school. NO SECURITY.
9mm. High caliber.
HA!
What do you expect from a mail order FAKE PRESIDENT with full blown dementia?
Gun control is like trying to prevent drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars and the 2nd amendment is not a suggestion, its a directive.
didn't the president's son buy a handgun ILLEGALLY (form asked if he used illegal drugs). then throw it away in a dumpster. where it was recovered later. wasn't it a 9mm?!?!! so basically this President shouldn't be talking about gun control in any way shape or form because his crack addict son illegally obtained one and then committed at least one felony with it. hmmm
Prime example of good guy (woman) with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun.
https://youtu.be/q3Qd7lRToLw
Biden secret service is ONLY allowed to carry .22 caliber guns from here on out…k?
And when everyone has a gun, no one has one.
HEY IDIOTS… Any state more pro-gun than Texas? Nope.
FBI STATS!!!. GO LOOK THEM UP!!!
4x as many murders with knives and non-gun objects than rifles in Texas.
Now shut up about Assault Rifles.
As usual, you have no factual knowledge of the subjects you preach.
FACTS OVER FEELINGS.
Biden is useless and his administration is useless. They cause the problems we have and then say they can do nothing about it. Biden needs to resign before country is totally destroyed . They need to step aside so others can clean their mess!
The 2nd amendment mentions NOTHING about hunting NOR was that the intent. Why does no one call Biden on his continued ignorance?
Never give up your guns
Biden has to do something. America needs strict, comprehensive gun controls. Australia did it and there gun violence has gone way down. America wants him to do something, and congress to act on it. It would save lifes and would guarantee support for democrats at election time.
Not happening Biden
Same administration who armed the Tilaban with millions of dollars worth of military weapons
He says you couldn’t buy a cannon back then but that was a bold-face lie because you could they just asked if you used it, to use in a safe manner and safe area. 🤦♂️🙃
Historically every government has fallen, it's just a matter of time.
Both the First and Second Amendments are there for that very reason!
I speak for American 2nd Amendment supporters. If you fiercely try taking our guns away, we will do what is necessary to keep that from happening. We are the Militia. We will negotiate terms to prevent using lethal force. The 2nd Amendment is meant to protect Americans against people against tyrant government. Joe Biden knows that we are a threat. He wants America to be run with anarchy, hatred and evil. If you can’t open your eyes to reveal the truth, it means you’re a coward to stand up for your own American Freedom.
Yes, you could buy a Cannon then AND now. You can buy a tank if you want to AND PASS THE PROPER BACKGROUND REQUIREMENTS.
Increased attacks on the Second Amendment is because the basis for its existence is manifesting before people's eyes. Simply, if you don't understand the INTENT on the Second Amendment you shouldn't be allowed in the conversation.
Simple fix !! Get new leadership!!! Problem solved!
He talks about the 9 mmr as being a high caliber. He absolute has know Idea what he is talking about… 9mm is small. Its smaller than your Standard. .45. This guy could fk up a cup of coffee. Scary.
