  Subj: Re: Gun Bills  
  "Every time President Joe Biden opens his mouth about the second amendment,  
  firearms laws, or guns in general he makes an ignorant statement. California  
  State  
  Senator Kevin de LeÇn is still the gold standard for making ignorant  
  statements about  
  firearms with his Çghost gunÇ rant, but President Biden is doing everything  
  he  
  can to  
  surpass that statement.  
    
  On Memorial Day, Sleepy Joe took to the podium and decided to bring up the  
  second  
  amendment as it would apply to cannons when it became a part of the Bill Of  
  Rights in  
  1791. ÇThe Second Amendment was never absolute. You couldnÇt buy a cannon  
  when  
  the Second Amendment was passed. You couldnÇt go out and purchase a lot of  
  weapons.Ç  
    
  This is a talking point he has been trying to push for over two years now,  
  and  
  one he  
  claims after any shooting that grabs national interest. With the Washington  
  Post and  
  Politifact both calling him out about this being a bald-faced lie, he  
  refuses  
  to listen to the  
  truth on the subject no matter who is trying to talk with him.  
    
  His legion of followers are parroting his rhetoric and recites it as if it  
  was  
  a fact. They  
  have been doing this for some time now too, and whenever they are confronted  
  with the  
  truth about the situation they often start screaming, bring up other  
  arguments  
  as it will  
  suddenly change the truth, or simply refuse to continue the discussion as  
  they  
  are ill-  
  prepared for the discussion.  
  Unfortunately for every second amendment-loving American, we are getting to  
  a  
  point  
  where the possibility of Biden using executive orders to try and force his  
  gun  
  control  
  upon us is closer than ever. With the recent upticks in mass shootings, poor  
  security/law  
  enforcement response to school shootings, and the national outcry for  
  something to be  
  done, the day for severe action to be taken is closing in.  
    
  One of the most commonly discussed ideas that President Biden never brings  
  up  
  is the  
  ÇRed Flag LawÇ in the Republican-dominated state of Florida. This is a newer  
  idea that is  
  showing a lot of promise from a place commonly known as The Gunshine State.  
    
  As CNN explains Çalso known as risk protection orders, was one piece of a  
  sprawling gun  
  reform package that then-Gov. Rick Scott signed into law just three weeks  
  after a  
  teenage gunman killed 17 people inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.  
  It  
  included $400 million in new spending for priorities like school security  
  and  
  mental  
  health resources and allowed trained school staff to carry firearms for the  
  first time.  
  Republican lawmakers also agreed to raise the age to own a gun to 21 and  
  implemented  
  a three-day waiting period to purchase most rifles.Ç  
  While many donÇt agree with the idea of having to wait to get their  
  firearms,  
  and it can  
  certainly be construed as an infringement upon our rights (as the second  
  amendment  
  explicitly forbids), it could be seen as a middle ground agreement with the  
  leftists who  
  believe nothing but a total confiscation will change the culture here in  
  America. Their  
  idea of a gun-free utopia is something that might sound nice to them in  
  theory, but it is  
  nothing but a pipe dream.  
    
  Until the leftists and anti-gun nuts are willing to become educated on the  
  subject, their  
  ideas will continue to punish law-abiding gun owners. Many of these same  
  people are  
  the same ones crying out that men should not be creating abortion laws. Much  
  the  
  same, people who know nothing about guns should not be trying to make laws  
  about  
  them.  
    
  If they actually learned how guns work, they might understand how little  
  their  
  laws do to  
  keep people safe. If they want real changes in gun crimes, we need real  
  changes in our  
  society."
