"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 Le˙n is still the gold standard for making ignorant
statements about 
firearms with his ˙ghost gun˙ 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. ˙The Second Amendment was never absolute. You couldn˙t buy a cannon when 
the Second Amendment was passed. You couldn˙t go out and purchase a lot of 
weapons.˙

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 
˙Red Flag Law˙ 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 ˙also 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.˙
While many don˙t 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."
