Today, President Biden (yeah, he's still president. We'd almost forgotten, too) signed some gun control measure executive orders. Cause they're totes not coming for our guns.

The measures, according to The Washington Examiner will focus on:
[C]ombating gun violence by restricting new firearm technology and helping students address the trauma caused by active shooter drills in schools.
The executive order will target 3D-printed guns that do not have serial numbers and devices that convert semiautomatic firearms into rapid-fire guns similar to machine guns.
The order also creates a new task force that will issue a report in 90 days on federal law enforcement’s ability to detect and seize the rapid-fire devices, as well as outline a strategy to combat the threat they pose.
Biden gave remarks on this, too and he did that weird yelling thing he does again.
WATCH:
Biden starts randomly screaming again: "Never was the Second Amendment meant to be absolute! Back when it was passed, you could not own a cannon! No, I'm not joking!"

Yikes.
Whenever Biden says 'I'm not joking', you know he's lying. That's his tell.
You could, in fact, own a cannon.
It was never meant to be absolute? The founding fathers literally put in writing ’Shall not be infringed’

It kind of reveals how the Left thinks about our rights, and how the Constitution protects those rights from their hideous agenda to say the Second Amendment is 'not absolute.'

It sure is.
Actually yes, you could own a cannon, and the language is very clear. The right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

Maybe if we keep saying 'SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED' the message will penetrate their thick skulls.
He is lying every time he opens his mouth... but he gives it away when he says, "I'm not joking!" or "No Lie!" or "I'm not kidding!"

Technically, he's not wrong when he says he's not joking or kidding.
Cause he's not. He's lying.
Not only could you own a cannon, you could own a warship full of them.

This writer would've loved to own a warship full of cannons.

The perfect meme.

Yeah, he didn't think that through.
Which is understandable because his brain is pudding at this point.
Took me 3 sec to ask ChatGPT:
No, it was not illegal to own a cannon when the U.S. Constitution was written. During the late 18th century, private ownership of cannons and other forms of artillery was not uncommon. Wealthy individuals, privateers, and militias often owned such…

The post continues:
Wealthy individuals, privateers, and militias often owned such weaponry. The Second Amendment, which was ratified in 1791, does not specifically mention cannons but broadly refers to "arms," and at the time, this would have included cannons.
The context of the time was different, with private citizens and ships sometimes needing to be armed for protection or commerce, especially in areas with limited government military presence. The legality of owning cannons would have depended on local laws and regulations rather than a federal prohibition.
Oh, look.
Facts. History.
Things that are anathema to Democrats.
They really need to invest in one of those giant muppet stage hooks. https://t.co/OfqzrC8RXg pic.twitter.com/5FMxWwhS4K

We'll even pay for it.
You absolutely could own a cannon. He’s been told this over and over and over, including by fact-checkers who usually bend over backwards to agree with him. That he still repeats this shows he cannot learn. https://t.co/ZgwZd3135h

He doesn't want to learn.
He's been giving this dumb speech for more than a decade now, and every part of it is untrue. https://t.co/l4UP6lKNV3
— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) September 26, 2024
Even words 'a', 'and', and 'the' are untrue.
He's wrong but more important he completely garbled the Tree of Liberty quote and argues with Thomas Jefferson out loud. https://t.co/ojm0DO6OqA

We caught that, too.
Is Thomas Jefferson in the room with us right now, sir?

This made us laugh. HARD.
A) Yes you could. B) Yes it is absolute. C) Everyone involved keeping this man away from proper elderly help should be charged with elder abuse. https://t.co/q0yOL4pTrM

A) Agree. B) Agree. C) DEFINITELY AGREE.
Not only could you own cannons when the 2nd Amendment was written but many insurance companies refused to insure merchant vessels that didn’t have at least a modest degree of armament.
Civilian-owned cannons weren’t just legal, they oftentimes expected. https://t.co/lAUJOGPhvO

Wild.
Yes you can own a cannon. You STILL can own a cannon.
The man lies all the time. It’s pathological. https://t.co/feZbTZ6EKo

You can still own a cannon.
