“And I might add: The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. You couldn’t buy a cannon,” Biden said during a speech on gun violence in America last week.
The Post, citing experts on the Second Amendment and historical documents, reported Biden’s assertion about cannons relative to the right to bear and keep arms in the United States is demonstrably false.
The Second Amendment states that “a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Biden has made the claim about cannons and the Second Amendment at least once before, the Post noted, telling Wired magazine last year “you weren’t allowed to own a cannon during the Revolutionary War as an individual.”
CNN, MSNBC and now The WashPost? Interesting times indeed!
What a clown this guy is. Why even bring up something so ridiculous. He’s always been a dufus tho, to the highest level.
Say it ain’t so….
Who the hell did he think owned the rebel cannons, a cannon rental agency?
Joe Bribem cheated his way through law school and finished near the bottom of his class at a lower tier program. So expecting him to have a clue about anything as basic as the Second Amendment is wishful thinking. He was profoundly stupid then and hasn’t improved with age.
I don’t have any place on my property to hide my cannons. What must I do. Rough on a ole boy trying to make ends meet.
