Biden senior adviser Cedric Richmond said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that President Biden was determined to do “something about gun violence” so Republicans who “have hid behind the Second Amendment for far too long” need to respond to public demand for gun regulations on “weapons of war.”Richmond said, “I know President Biden’s passion about doing something about gun violence and creating sensible gun laws along with Vice President Harris, and I think the country is shifting too.”He continued, “Republicans and NRA have hid behind the Second Amendment for far too long.

Fine. Call off your war on us. Then we will not have to fight back.
Surround the Capitol with National Guards and a fence, and we will think you are at war with us.
Go read Federalist. Bearing Arms was and is intended to protect us from an overly aggressive Federal government. You look like you are declaring war on us. We can't even question the election.
And Emperor Biden will soon take away all our guns.
And bind us forever to his Socialist paradise.

Their notion that public opinion is shifting in their direction is directly contradicted by the huge amount of guns being sold right now. I would say that rather than hiding behind our Constitutional rights we are embracing them.

It’s hard to look at the necessity of an armed militia and conclude anything other than the intent to have citizenry armed with the weapons of war. Biden’s team is as delusional as he is.

The Constitution says nothing about 'weapons of war.' IT DOES say the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Pretty clear to me Cedric The NON-Entertainer...

If Cedric says support for more gun control is pushing 90%, he should show us his sources and the
wording of the surveys. But then we would know which biased organizations conducted the surveys, so he's not going to do that.

Let me explain something right now.
The stinkin' socialist/globalists have stolen the election for President of these United States. Bc, the "managers" of X trillions of dollars of global capitol have no intention of indulging the US middle class in self rule government.
So...
1. They have walled off the government
2. They are confiscating guns
3. To apply totalitarian control of formerly free people.
I have no Earthly idea how intelligent people, born and raised in freedom, cannot see this.

These democrat death communists are pushing full speed ahead with imposition of a totalitarian regime with the key obstacle to their path to victory being the Second Amendment, which ensures armed citizens as the final check on Federal Government's illegal power grab.
They are determined to push it to the limit as quickly as possible before most Americans finally wake up to the danger they pose to our way of life. Very, very soon we will be faced with only two options - Surrender our weapons or Fight. The big question is will we all band together and fight and how to we organize? The communist death democrats are counting on us of being too afraid of losing everything and in the end meekly surrendering our weapons.
Very simple at this point - Live Free or Die.
I do not want to be a slave nor do I want my children and grandchildren to be slaves.
The Truth - All of the communist democrat death democrats, the media, the tech billionaires are our enemy. No further compromise on any issue is possible. We must bring major heat on the republicans and stiffen their spines to become warriors for Freedom or make them understand they will no longer be accepted in any sort of leadership positions and will be cast aside as traitors. This is the only message which will motivate them. Self preservation, money, and above all power is all they care about.
Free America!

Try convincing the people of Portland or Seattle or for that matter any dem controlled area. If the police can’t or won’t provide security then you must be able to use deadly force against the fascist/ communist factions in country that are trying to take over’ Biden admin’.

If Biden wants to do something about gun violence he may want to start cleaning up the never ending (every week) shootings in South Chicago.

I don't see anyone "hiding behind" the amendment, and it was indeed meant (in part) for weapons of war, which is why it mentions a militia.

Would any of creepy Joe's proposed laws have stopped Hunter from purchasing a gun? Hunter lied, he is a drug and alcohol addict, was thrown out of the military for drug use and has mental problems. If the laws on the books are not being followed, how will additional restrictions control gun violence?

The Second Amendment was meant EXACTLY for weapons of war. It’s not about hunting; it’s about having the ability to overthrow a government that has become oppressive and is ignoring the will of the people. That’s the situation we’re faced with today.
Every time the Democraps tell these lies, we have to expose them.

When the Constitution was written everyone had a military grade weapon. It was called a rifle. That's the weapon that won the Revolutionary war.

Wow, is there a single Demon-Rat left that ever actually read the Constitution?!?!?!?
I know for a fact there isn't a Demon-Rat left with enough working brain cells to actually understand logic, reason, or facts!!!!!
The 2nd amendment wasn't written to assure that we could go hunting. It was written so that we, the citizens of this great country, could fight for our freedoms -- including against our own government if they attempted to enslave and suppress us!!!! So yes, Cedrick, weapons of war are exactly what the 2nd amendment provided for the citizens to have!!!

Stupid reporterette has probably never fired a gun in her life and she is telling us what we should do. Knives and arrows were once weapons of war, what are you going to do, ban those too? After that, stones from slings were used quite effectively by the Roman legions, let's ban stones. Some of us have lethal hands and feet, get the surgeons ready. You people are nuts and you will fail.

If gun control means taking weapons away from thugs, jailing thugs convicted of gun crimes, and jailing felons in possession of firearms, then I might be in favor. If instead it means disarming law abiding citizens while leaving the protected class of felons alone, then not so much.

Whoops, sorry, Cedric is a male but these days you never know how people identify. If the citizenry in 1776 had a stupid government like we do, the Brits would have won and freedom would not be an issue today. We would be kneeling to the Queen instead of a bloomin' idiot and a Jamaican knob polisher.

They have always lied about guns. They don't punish the criminals at all and invent ways to allow them to operate. Just like in the 1970's when serial killers were everywhere and the libs abolished the death penalty. They use crime and murder as population control.

It's meant for a revolution. It's meant to reign in an out of touch, and over reaching government. It's meant for the citizens of the country to take their country back from those that do not follow the laws written in the Constitution. It's written to overthrow democrat/socialist/communist rulers. In short, it's written to remove the current administration and everyone in government that believes as they do.

That is exactly what the Founders of this country made it an amendment so that ordinary citizens could protect themselves from criminals and an oppressive government, the later is coming closer and closer into coming into pass.

Au contraire! It WAS about weapons of war to protect citizens and their government from oppression by the crown's government. Read up on it!

Again, I will say the right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. Joe Biden used the word IMPINGED. What a dingbat- He has no idea of the meaning of the 2nd amendment of the Constitution which he swore to uphold, not tear down. The 2nd amendment was created to protect us from any despotic government as was necessary in the American Revolution.

I get it: tragic deaths due to any cause are...tragic...every time, in every case.
However, making public policy that affects the Constitutional rights of hundreds of millions of Americans to defend their lives and property from all comers on the basis of the tragic deaths at the hands of deranged killers of a few hundred Americans per year is itself beyond tragic...it's the stuff of lunacy.

The left continues to use hyperbolically stranded, statistically meaningless anecdotes to make public policy. They've done it with their hair-on-fire response to CV19 (which was never any worse than influenza), they're doing it with the entire defund the police gambit (based on the lone death of a single, drug-infused criminal named George Floyd), and they're trying to do it with gun control regulations (based on a guy who shot some people).
Meanwhile, the weekly death toll in Chicago demonstrates exactly how well those regulations will work, the death toll from every respiratory disease except CV19 has curiously dropped to zero, and crime is spiking exponentially in every city that has chosen to defund its police.
Stupid is, as stupid does.

Actually, it was SPECIFICALLY INTENDED for weapons of war. It was INTENDED that every man would be part of the militia, and would have his WEAPON OF WAR to bring with him to combat to fight against tyrants....like Traitor Joe and this lying piece of garbage advisor.

United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939) said that a sawed off shotgun was not "ordinary military equipment or that its use could contribute to the common defense," which would indicate that the court approved of weapons that were and could.
