Joe Biden’s Handlers Rush to Clean up His Latest Commentary on Guns – Opinion

Multiple reports indicate that Joe Biden is becoming frustrated with his staff, as I mentioned Wednesday. Specifically, he’s tired of them coming behind him to “clarify” his otherwise “succinct” statements. Aside note: If you just took your drink out on the basis of that descriptor, I am sorry.

Of course, the rush to clean up Biden’s messes wouldn’t be happening if he didn’t, you know, create so many messes. The latest example involves the commentary that the president gave on Tuesday pushing to ban different types of ammunition, including some bonkers claims about 9mm rounds (see Joe Biden’s Ignorance on Guns Is Simply Breathtaking).

Given that the 9mm cartridge is the most popular in the world and is used in most handguns, Biden’s unhinged rant certainly made it seem as if he wanted to ban handguns, something Canada had moved to do just days prior. There is no other reason he could have said what he did. He even declared that everyone was welcome to his speech. NeedsBut he uses 9mm ammunition as self-defense even though his Secret Service unit used it to protect him.

Sure enough, Biden’s handlers are coming in hot to once again smooth over his ignorant remarks. Karine Jean Pierre, via the New York Post reports that the president doesn’t support banning handguns.

The White House said Tuesday that President Biden does not support a Canada-style ban on handgun sales in the wake of a pair of mass shootings last month — the latest example of administration members having to clear up their boss’s remarks.

“We’ll leave it up to other countries to set their policy on gun ownership,” Jean-Pierre said during her regular briefing. “The president has made his position clear: The United States needs to act. As I just laid out, he supports a ban on the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and expanded background checks to keep guns out of the — dangerous hands.

“He does not support a ban on the sale of all handguns, to answer your question,” the press secretary added in response…

This is what happens when the President of the United States is a mental invalid who has no idea what he’s talking about. We are now supposed to believe that Biden meant no 9mm round, even though he went on about why it was wrong for anyone. Not to be forgotten (and a laughing matter) is the fact that Biden criticized 9mm ammunition for its size but chose to endorse.22 caliber ammunition. Guess what the AR-15 shoots! Oops.

It takes skill to remain so stoic while discussing virtually any topic. But if Biden is an expert at one thing, it’s that.

You can rest assured that Biden will support banning handguns, if it is possible. The White House’s reluctance to allow Biden to speak out is pure political. He believes everything he stated about 9mm ammunition being banned in comments made before the media. However, his handlers understand that this position would not be popular among the American population. Thus, the focus on “assault weapons” is another vain attempt to gain a policy win off the backs of dead children.

Republicans can take this as a lesson. Democrats will not stop until total confiscation occurs. Do not compromise, do not believe their “clarifications,” and understand that they will push the envelope every single time there’s a shooting. It is best to not lose ground even if you are being attacked in bad faith.
