The 2nd Amendment isn’t about deer hunting, and everyone including SloJoe knows that, so what he did was simply insult everyone.
Biden calls for ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines in SOTU speech
Several called Biden out for ‘lying’ on guns
President Joe Biden renewed his call for the banning of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in his State of the Union address.
“I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence,” Biden said during his first official State of the Union Address on Tuesday night. “Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon? Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”
“You think the deer are wearing a kevlar vest?” Biden said, going off the pre-released transcript of the speech.
Biden added a call to “repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued.”
“These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment,” Biden said. “They save lives.”
Biden’s comments immediately received criticism from conservatives on social media who have often accused his administration of attempting to infringe on the Second Amendment.
“Joe Biden wants to take your guns,” Republican Rep. Jim Banks tweeted shortly after Biden made the comment about guns.

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie labeled Biden’s claim about liability for gun manufacturers as a “lie.”
“Big Biden Lie: gun manufacturers are the only industry that can’t be sued,” Massie tweeted. “Truth: If guns malfunction, the manufacturers can be sued. Not so with vaccines!”
“Biden is just lying about the ‘liability shield’ for firearms manufacturers,” radio host and former CIA analyst Buck Sexton tweeted. “No other industry is made liable for criminal misuse of their product. But his base is full of hysterics who hate gun owners, so facts don’t matter.”
“Thankful for @potus speaking on meaningful ways to reduce gun violence, such as passing universal background checks and banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines,” Moore tweeted during the speech. “We need these measures now.”
Biden has repeatedly called for banning assault weapons including in a speech last month when he claimed that no amendment is “absolute.”
Biden’s claim regarding the specifics of cannons being banned has been widely questions on social media and was given “Four Pinocchios” from the Washington Post in 2021.
