JOE BIDEN IS STILL A CLUELESS IDIOT

by Bob Walsh

I just finished watching Senile Joe The Hairsniffer give a rambling, 40-minute late presentation on the scourge of "gun violence."  It showed a couple of interesting things.  Besides the fact he struggles to read a TelePrompter.  (I guess they had trouble getting him to take the Adderall so he could stay upright and semi-focused.)

He believes the Second Amendment was designed to protect the rights of sport hunters.  Twice he made an assertion that you don't need a 100 round magazine unless the deer are wearing Kevlar.  He completely ignores the fact that most places have magazine limits while hunting.  He also ignores the fact that the Second Amendment has NOTHING to do with sports hunting.

He also stated as fact that the Second Amendment "from day one" prohibited people from owning certain types of weapons, specifically including cannon.  In fact it was common for private citizens (merchant ship owners) to have armed ships early on.  This armament included cannon.  Unless he thinks the National Firearms Act, passed in 1936, actually passed in 1787.  Which maybe he does.  He is, after all, clearly mentally disabled.  He also clearly thinks that semiautomatic rifles are weapons of war.  They are not.  They LOOK like they are, but functionally they are not.  

Anyway, that is his program.  Harass gun dealers.  Withdraw the liability shield for legit firearms manufacturers.  Make the possession of factory capacity magazines illegal by calling them "high capacity magazines."  Declare guns you don't like "assault weapons" and prohibit their purchase.  Create more programs for violent ex-felons because he really believes that violent ex-felons continue to be violent offenders because they don't have enough programs to keep their brains busy.  (His mom told him that an idle mind is the devil's playground.  Assuming that assertion is correct, his mom got it wrong all those years ago.  Idle HANDS is the correct expression.)  Go after "ghost guns" because they are somehow intrinsically evil.

At any rate you can count on Old Joe trying very hard to make sure you can't own any guns he doesn't like, and making sure that people in authority who share his warped belief will have funds available to pursue honest, law-abiding gun owners.  Fortunately the record clearly shows that the Clinton Assault Weapons Bill had NO significant impact on "gun violence."  Of course facts have little to do with the issue.  It is an emotion appeal to clueless people or those who already hate guns and hate people who own guns.  

With luck we will manage to hold off the Philistines for another 18 months, at which time it is likely we shall have a few additional members of congress who are not fucking morons and political hacks.
