He announced his future visit to Texas alongside First Lady Jill Biden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a nation, we must all be there for them. Everyone. And we must ask when in God\u2019s name will we do what needs to be done to if not completely stop, fundamentally change the amount of the carnage that goes on in this country,\u201d Biden said. \u201cI\u2019m sick and tired. I\u2019m just sick and tired of what\u2019s going on and continues to go on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He touted his push to pass \u201ccommon sense gun reforms\u201d while serving as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and as vice president, urging for these gun control laws to pass in order to have \u201ca significant impact\u201d on the number of tragedies occurring throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile they clearly will not prevent every tragedy, we know certain ones will have significant impact and have no negative impact on the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment is not absolute. When it was passed you couldn\u2019t own a cannon, you couldn\u2019t own certain kinds of weapons. There\u2019s always been limitations. These actions we\u2019ve taken before, they save lives and they can do it again. The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy weapons of war designed and marketed to kill is I think just wrong. It just violates common sense.\u201d <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/24\/psaki-no-one-is-talking-about-overturning-or-changing-the-second-amendment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Psaki: \u2018No One Is Talking About Overturning Or Changing The Second Amendment\u2019)\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biden has repeated the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/11\/joe-biden-cannon-second-amendment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">false claim<\/a> that a cannon could not be legally purchased when the Second Amendment was ratified. He made the claim last month when he <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-ghost-gun-rule-3ceca4c74b79b684231fbb6e8fc1bf0f?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&#038;utm_source=Twitter&#038;utm_medium=AP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced<\/a> his administration\u2019s new regulation that requires background checks and serial numbers for so-called \u201cghost guns,\u201d which refer to firearms that are unregulated and untraceable.<\/p>\n<p>He made the same claim during his 2020 presidential campaign in a push to require background checks on all gun sales and impose a ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines. The Washington Post gave his claim <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2021\/06\/28\/bidens-false-claim-that-2nd-amendment-bans-cannon-ownership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">four Pinocchios<\/a>, confirming that private citizens owned cannons at the time of the nation\u2019s founding and that there was no federal law restricting the types of guns citizens could own.<\/p>\n<p>He then moved the claim to apply to 20 years after the Revolutionary War, which is incorrect, according to the Washington Post. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war and \u201cgrant Letters of Marque and Reprisal,\u201d meaning that private citizens could be granted special waivers to own warships and obtain cannons during a battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden called for stricter gun control legislation during his Wednesday address, claiming the Second Amendment allows for limitations on firearm ownership.The president made the remarks alongside Vice President<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":198,"featured_media":1492262,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1492228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1492228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/198"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1492228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1492228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1492262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1492228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1492228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1492228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
