Biden on assault weapons ban: "Think about Newtown"
CBSNews.com ^ | 3/21/2013 | LUCY MADISON

"Three months ago, a deranged man walked into Sandy Hook Elementary with a weapon of war," he said. "Let's get this straight. This is not about anybody's constitutional right to own a weapon. For all those who say we shouldn't and can't ban assault weapons - for all those who say the politics is too hard, how can they say that?... When you take a look at those 20 beautiful babies and what happened to them? And those six teachers and administrators?"

Joe - my rights were not granted to me by the government, and it can’t revoke them either.

I have delegated certain authority to the government - Don’t exceed the authority granted, or risk that all authority granted to the government is revoked.

How about the thousands of "beautiful babies" that are killed in the abortuaries every day Joe?

He, Obamugabe, Pelosi and Reid will fight for women's "right" to kill all the "beautiful babies" they want to kill.

Biden: “Think about Newtown”

Senator Ted Cruz: “Think of The Battle of Athens ( 1946).”

“The event is sometimes cited by firearms ownership advocates as an example of the value of the Second Amendment in combating tyranny.[1][2][3][4]”

A significant number of alleged freepers still get their panties in a wad and ridicule anyone who brings up King Hussein’s ineligibility.

My loathing of the illegitimate, bisexual, Marxist Kenyan Muslim Usurper requires medication.

This is not about anybody's constitutional right to own a weapon

That is exactly what it is about.

Gee Joe, I don’t remember you asking for an “assault weapons” ban after Aurora, Colorado..I guess since it was an election year, didn’t want to take a chance that your party would lose..but hey, since your Commie messiah “won” now you can try taking away our guns..screw you Joe!

If you have a problem with what happened in Newton, then take it up with Adam. But he’s dead you say?

Yup, mortally wounded, just like Gabby Giffords.

“...with a weapon of war”

This is where an enterprising young reporter should ask Joe what war and what army uses an AR-15.

Impossible for Biden. He can’t get past the “think” part.

Actually Bidet, The Supreme Court opined in Miller v. US, 1939 it is a Constitutional right to bear guns that are common to the military.

"Uses"? None. The AR15 was "used" by the US military in the Vietnam War over 38 years ago.

What war was an AR-15 used in?

This is just the latest bold faced lie the left has come up with. Expect more. If the facts do not work for them they either make up their own or just tell outright lies.

Ugh.

Gabby Giffords.

You know, I don’t have anything nice to say about her.

So I’ll just leave it at that.

I spent many months in Vietnam and didn't see a single AR-15. I saw a lot of M-16’s but not a single AR. Are we talking about the same Vietnam war???
