Did I Really Hear Joe Biden Say That?
He talked about how we need to ban AR-15 “assault rifles” (again) to reduce gun violence, even though more Americans are stabbed to death each year than are killed by rifles.
The vast majority of gun homicides – 20,000 last year, the highest in 20 years -- are committed in cities with handguns – often stolen ones.
Few of those handguns were sold to the shooters by the rogue dealers whom Biden called "merchants of death” who “are breaking the law for profit."
The idea that an up-and-coming gangbanger in the Latin Kings of Chicago stops by the corner gun store to pick up a new Glock on his way to kill a rival is a liberal myth that will not die.
Gun-control nuts, Biden and the liberal media still think buying a gun over the counter is as easy as buying a six-pack, but that’s only because they’ve never had to buy one.
Here in California, where I live, buying any kind of gun – and ammo – involves a lot of paperwork and a three-day wait for the ATF to do its background check.
My son Cameron and I buy what we need to hunt with all the time at the same gun store.
The owners know exactly who we are, but they aren’t the ones who do the background check each time we buy a box of shotgun shells – it’s the government.
The gun store sends the information in and when we’re approved we go and pick up the shotgun shells. That’s how it works in the real world.
It’s pretty clear that people like Biden who are making these decisions have never hunted and never actually had to go out and buy a pistol for protection.
