A new poll out from Emerson/The Hill shows that Joe Biden trails President Trump in seven of the key swing states:
Yet, in spite of those numbers (and other disapproving indicators), Biden found it wise to announce on a recent podcast that the Second Amendment was “never absolute” and all that talk about Thomas Jefferson’s “tree of liberty” reference is a “bunch of crap.”
Brilliant Joe, absolutely brilliant—so brilliant in fact, I’d like to suggest that his staffers organize those comments into sound bites to accompany his campaign ads, and then run them in the very swing states in which he trails,

Got to love a politician. They can't comprehend the simply stated text of the 2nd Amendment. Yet, somewhere in there is a right to abort babies. And illegals have the right to access everything this country has to offer. etc etc.
P.S. A pox upon all of their houses.

Here is an excerpt from idiot Biden’s response to the murder of 4 law enforcement officers in Charlotte: "Leaders in Congress need to step up so that we ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require safe storage of guns, and pass universal background checks and a national red flag law."
That is completely off topic. How would any of the above stopped the felon in possession of illegal guns from shooting officers with a high powered rifle? Biden is a blank slate. He just reads off the teleprompter and specializes in stupid looks.

Soon, the tyrant class will send men with guns against ordinary, normal American citizens in order to force us to obey. What are YOU prepared to do? I suppose we are going to find out.

The second amendment, as well as the rest of the Bill Of Rights, most certainly IS absolute. Anything less makes it completely meaningless. If the right exists at the whim of politicians, it isnt a right at all. At best it is a privilege.

I am so happy that the noted constitutional scholar JB has weighed in on the second,amendment. Guess he would know…he was there when Jefferson penned « tree of liberty »

FTA...'Biden added that Democrats didn’t say they wanted to take people’s guns away, and ‘The 2nd Amendment, which I, when I taught law school —'...
Can someone here tell me when Biden taught law school? Or is this another one of his lie..I mean figment of his imagination?

It irks me when Quid Pro Joe and other lefties can't say the word "violence" without preceding it with "gun." Are other forms of violence ok? We have knife violence, spear violence, bow and arrow violence, rock violence, etc. They might as well alter the dictionary so that gunviolence is one word. Everyone wants to get rid of nuts with guns. Libs want to get rid of the guns. Sane people want to get rid of the nuts.

Hey Joe, why not promise that in your second term you'll send goons out to kick in doors and simply confiscate whatever arms are found?
Why not run on that?

Biden is just a symptom. He reflects the thoughts of the people propping him up. It's not pretty.
There are thieves, thugs, and tyrants out there that will take your freedoms, your rights, your wealth, and very likely, your life.

The drift away from the intent of The Framers was supposed to be slower and less noticeable. I can understand his frustration.

OP, and some even owed modern (at the time) warships, which certainly weren't inexpensive. Maybe Elon Musk has always wanted an aircraft carrier? Or a destroyer?
Any weapon of war is the birthright of an American citizen. Otherwise the government won't fear us, which is a powerful check upon its constant dreams of ruling us.

If Traitor Joe's ancestors had been in America at that time, they'd have been the "Irish trash" the Brits routinely banished from England, depositing them as white slaves in the "New World." I'll bet if the Bidet's had been here then they'd have a wholly different view of our Liberties. And this from a "lawyer" who is supposed to understand the U.S. Constitution. Ha!

Re #7, a favorite nephew died for this country, in a firefight. I have thought long and hard about his sacrifice.
Freedom isn't free, and the bill maybe coming due soon.

Just when you think Biteme couldn't say or be more stupid, he says something even more stupid than before. This is on the idiot people of Delaware who kept voting this complete idiot to represent the state.

Yes, Joe, we always had the right to own cannons, and still do....of the sort that they had in the 1800s. IMO, we need to correct this oversight, and permit ownership of modern artillery, too. Few can afford it, but it would be a good added check on tyrants.
And Jefferson was right, and the tyrants are trying to make the time draw nearer.
