Among the myriad of issues about which Joe Biden makes a complete fool out of himself every time he opens his mumbling mouth, gun control (AKA: “common sense” gun laws) ranks number one in my book.
As my colleague Nick Arama reported on Thursday, Biden once again lost what little mind he has left as he absurdly tried to build a case for banning the one firearm that lives rent-free, 24/7, in the tormented heads of gun grabbers, everywhere, the evil “weapon of war”: the made-up “assault rifle.”
While mumbling about the recent mass shooting at a Colorado LGBT club by a suspect we later learned self-identified as “non-binary,” which totally blew the left’s “right-wing” narrative out of the water, Biden said:
The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. Just sick. It has no socially redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers.
Wait — “socially redeeming value”?
Assuming an accepted definition of “socially redeeming value” to mean the projects in which we invest our time, money, and efforts to bring some sort of positive benefit to society, what the hell does that have to do with the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners to legally purchase firearms for the reasons they choose — be those choices protection, recreational, or any other legal use — and not by whether the federal government says which firearms one can buy and for what purposes?
