That happened.<\/p>\n<p>First, no, Biden hasn\u2019t been to every mass shooting. Especially if you consider the definition of mass shooting that his party tends to prefer, which is the Gun Violence Archive definition that is just based on the number of people shot, not killed.<\/p>\n<p>This definition inflates the number of mass shootings into a huge number, one that would make it impossible for Biden to visit every mass shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Further, Biden offered no real qualifiers on those mass shootings, so even if we use the more traditional definitions that are based on the number of people killed, it\u2019s unlikely he visited every mass shooting that ever happened in the US, much less the planet as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Because while people like Biden tend to pretend that mass shootings are uniquely American, they happen everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Then we get to the whole \u201cif you need 80 shots in a magazine, you shouldn\u2019t have a gun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>First, there aren\u2019t any 80-round magazines out there, though I suspect a company like Palmetto State Armory might be cooking up one right about now.<\/p>\n<p>Yet even if there were, so what?<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing in our Second Amendment that seems to support such a supposition. If we need X number of rounds, we shouldn\u2019t have a firearm? Why is that? Under what criteria would we be allowed to have a gun? Is the limit 79 rounds? Five rounds? What exactly?<\/p>\n<p>Now, generally speaking, people haven\u2019t needed that many rounds for any lawful situation they might find themselves in. Many defensive gun uses take place with zero rounds being fired.<\/p>\n<p>But many others take a lot more than some might think.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that no one who has survived a gunfight has ever said, \u201cGee, I wish I\u2019d had less ammo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>See, the problem with Biden\u2019s myopic comment\u2013and this is me trying to be charitable here\u2013is that it doesn\u2019t account for individual circumstances. There\u2019s a difference between some guy pulling a gun on a mugger and someone who has angered an organized mob that wants their head.<\/p>\n<p>Further, let\u2019s remember that the Second Amendment isn\u2019t about hunting or even muggers, specifically. Yes, the Tyranny of the Thug is a thing, but the amendment was essentially penned as an insurance policy on the rest of our rights. It was meant as a bulwark against tyranny as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Our Founding Fathers had just fought a war that started when the tyrannical government marched on a town to seize arms from them. It\u2019s really unlikely that they intended to make it easier for a tyrannical leader to do the same again.<\/p>\n<p>So no, there are no exceptions to the Second Amendment, no matter how many rounds you need in a magazine.<\/p>\n<p>But since Biden clearly has never read the Second Amendment and definitely dismissed the Bruen decision, we\u2019ve clearly got a long fight on our hands.<\/p>\n<p>Support<br \/>\nAbout<br \/>\nTerms<br \/>\nPrivacy<\/p>\n<div id=\"copyright\" class=\"non-delete\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"js-ads-dialog d-flex flex-column justify-content-start pf-v-a print-no\">\n<div class=\"a-box\">\n<div data-fuse=\"22807660785\" data-fuse-code=\"fuse-slot-22807660785-1\" data-fuse-zone-instance=\"zone-instance-22807660785-1\" data-fuse-slot=\"fuse-slot-22807660785-1\" data-fuse-processed-at=\"923\">\n<div id=\"fuse-slot-22807660785-1\" class=\"fuse-slot\" data-google-query-id=\"CLLThMDXxoEDFZYHTwgdTSMJPA\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/71161633,21822432912\/PRTFNLY_printfriendly\/h-right_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, he&#8217;s bizarre, so&#8230;&#8230; Biden&#8217;s comments on gun violence truly bizarre After nearly three years in office, there are a lot of things I\u2019ve come to expect out of the Biden administration.
