Never forget that part.
Gropin’ Joe Xiden gave a little MLK speech today.
Biden’s MLK Speech: ‘Ban the Number of Bullets That Go in a Magazine’
Biden then said, “I love my right-wing friends who talk about the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots. If you need to worry about taking on the federal government you need some F-15s. You don’t need an AR-15.”
The actual Jefferson quote is:
“And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
But his mind is gone:
Biden said, “I am going to get ‘assault weapons’ banned. I did it once and I’m going to do it again.”
Nope. Never happened, Gropin’ Joe. You got sales and imports of new so-called “assault weapons” banned. For civilians at least. For some reason the law specifically allowed the police to keep getting new evil, military-style weapons designed to kill as many as possible as quickly as possible. But you never banned a single existing firearm because people smarter than you knew what would happen if they tried.
“The sheer immorality of victim disarmament aside, one would hope every law enforcement officer out there would stop to consider all the possible ramifications of kicking in several million doors because the occupants are well armed.”

And this:
He added, “And ban the number of bullets that go in a magazine.”
Try to parse that. A ban on “bullet” (psst, Joe, cartridges) restrictions. A ban on any cartridges in a magazine? What?
And those F-15s Biden thinks free Americans would need? Got em; or jet fighters anyway.
I’ll just drop one of my favorite Babylon Bee headlines here:
Then I’ll refresh memories of just how little it can take to take on “the government.”
- Two untrained idiots tied up the resources of two states and the District of Columbia for three weeks.
- One sniper took down 12 cops (5 dead, 7 wounded).
- One ex-cop with a grudge held the attention of three counties’ law enforcement agencies for a week and a half. The chaos he caused even got three innocent civilians shot (reinforcing the idea of staying out of it and crossfire).
- One nonexistent sniper tied up the police for days.
- Four less-than-competent jihadis tied up 90,000 police and military personnel for days.
Not a one of them needed and F-15.
I wonder what Martin Luther King, Jr. would think of a US president commemorating his birthday by threatening Americans lives with real, goverment weapons of war.
