The comments were made during a private event at a California residence, where Biden argued against the need for AR-15s among citizens.<\/p>\n<h3>A Call for Change<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;We have to change,&#8221; Biden emphasized. &#8220;The majority of Americans agree that owning a weapon of war is unnecessary. As someone who taught the Second Amendment for years in law school, I can tell you that it doesn&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-berates-second-amendment-supporters-says-they-need-f-16s-to-battle-government\/\" title=\"Biden criticizes Second Amendment backers, claims they require F-16s to confront government.\">grant unlimited ownership<\/a> of any weapon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden clarified that there are limitations to the types of weapons individuals can own under the Second Amendment. &#8220;Even when the amendment was passed, you couldn&#8217;t own a cannon or a machine gun,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;I&#8217;m serious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A Critique of Second Amendment Defenders<\/h3>\n<p>The president then turned his attention to those who staunchly defend the Second Amendment. &#8220;I find it interesting when people claim that the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots,&#8221; Biden remarked. &#8220;If you truly want to challenge the government, an AR-15 won&#8217;t cut it. You need something more powerful, like an F-16.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden also highlighted the financial motivations behind the support for AR-15s. According to him, American gun manufacturers favor the weapon due to its low production cost and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/peloton-fires-ceo-and-nearly-3000-employees-as-speculation-about-a-big-tech-buyout-grows\/\" title=\"Peloton Fires CEO And Nearly 3,000 Employees As Speculation About A Big Tech Buyout Grows\">high profit margins<\/a>. &#8220;The AR-15 is the most profitable weapon they can sell,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<h3>A Broader Mission<\/h3>\n<p>These recent comments from President Biden are part of his ongoing campaign to restrict access to certain firearms. In January, he previously mentioned the F-16 in relation to the Second Amendment, emphasizing the need for more firepower when challenging the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>It is clear that President Biden&#8217;s stance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-try-to-reframe-skyrocketing-crime-as-gun-control-issue\/\" title=\"Democrats Try to Reframe Skyrocketing Crime as Gun Control Issue\">gun control continues<\/a> to be a contentious issue, with supporters and opponents of the Second Amendment closely watching his actions and statements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden criticized Second Amendment supporters, suggesting they would require F-16 fighter jets to challenge the US government.
