On Wednesday, did I hear the president of the United States say Americans need to get F-15s and nukes if we really want to keep the government in line?
I did hear it.
Biden apparently was trying to make fun of us “gun nuts” who say Americans need the protections of the Second Amendment to own firearms in case we have to prevent the government from taking away our liberties.
It was garbled and choppy, because Biden went off the Teleprompter, but he said:
“Those who say the blood of Patriots, you know, and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government … if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons.”
Today I’m not sure if I should buy an F-15 or a bomb shelter – or both.
Biden’s address on how his administration intends to combat rising gun violence and soaring crime rates in our biggest cities was another big liberal gift to the gun industry.
It was filled with the usual stupid arguments and unchecked “facts” from the gun-control crowd.
Biden talked about responsible hunters knowing you don’t need to outfit your deer rifle with 100-round clips – clips that don’t exist on this planet.
He talked about how we need to ban AR-15 “assault rifles” (again) to reduce gun violence, even though more Americans are stabbed to death each year than are killed by rifles.
The vast majority of gun homicides – 20,000 last year, the highest in 20 years — are committed in cities with handguns – often stolen ones.
Few of those handguns were sold to the shooters by the rogue dealers whom Biden called “merchants of death” who “are breaking the law for profit.”
The idea that an up-and-coming gangbanger in the Latin Kings of Chicago stops by the corner gun store to pick up a new Glock on his way to kill a rival is a liberal myth that will not die.
Gun-control nuts, Biden and the liberal media still think buying a gun over the counter is as easy as buying a six-pack, but that’s only because they’ve never had to buy one.
Here in California, where I live, buying any kind of gun – and ammo – involves a lot of paperwork and a three-day wait for the ATF to do its background check.
My son Cameron and I buy what we need to hunt with all the time at the same gun store.
The owners know exactly who we are, but they aren’t the ones who do the background check each time we buy a box of shotgun shells – it’s the government.
The gun store sends the information in and when we’re approved we go and pick up the shotgun shells. That’s how it works in the real world.
It’s pretty clear that people like Biden who are making these decisions have never hunted and never actually had to go out and buy a pistol for protection.
They don’t have to buy a gun because the people around them – their bodyguards and private security – do it.
At the end of his address Biden said something about giving high school kids a job instead of a gun when they graduate.
That was a great soundbite, I guess, if you think guns are the main cause of crime.
But what Biden should be calling for is for kids in our cities to be given a proper public education instead of the horrible one they’ve been getting for half a century.
About 75 percent of black and brown kids in grammar school are reported to be unable to read or do math at their grade level, yet now they’re being taught critical race theory and that the country was founded on racism.
Oops, sorry. I’ve got to stop. The contractor is here to see if I can fix up my garage to fit an F-15.

Follow the progression of events: unchecked riots and “protests”; defunding and “reforming” police departments; new gun control laws at every turn; gradual banning of various firearms; heavy-handed FBI raids that were totally unnecessary; Big Tech censorship of Conservative speech; obsession with the Jan 6th “insurrection”; Biden’s remark in his speech.
It ain’t hard to figure where they want to go with this.
I get the feeling this nation is on the verge of an outbreak of unrestricted violence. There is the same social tension in the air like right before the ides of March in Rome that took out Caesar, or the assassination Caligula, when the job was well done without F-15s, and if it was ancient times and Joe was Emperor, his trusted advisors who sought the real power would be telling him to attempt to win the popularity of the people like Commodus, who addle brained chose to compete as a gladiator, thinking himself invincible. Confused Biden himself does not understand he is destined to be the Liberal Sacrificial lamb by his own party, to pave the way for the real puppeteers to take control. Those sons of Liberty and white children of our founders who stand in the way of the socialist string pullers, of course have to be first attacked for their race in the press and the propaganda before being attacked by their newly minted socialist government. Joe will soon find out himself that being white is an occupational hazard to your health but having betrayed his own, there will be no fellow patriots willing to stand between he and the dangers and take the bullet like McCarthy did for Reagan. The great social redistributors think to be the beneficiaries of this violence, already encourage by the immediate gratification of stolen government offices, buy in doing so have just painted targets on their own backs when THE PEOPLE finally have had enough.
On the verge of?? WHERE HAVE you been at?? WE are imo already there!
Just wanted to comment about done for as a credible force Liz Cheney being given a seat on a useless waste of time and money committee to investigate the useless ploy of the Marxist Dems like Pelosi and others to look into the 1/6/2021 Capital incident they organized and then blamed President Trump for!!!
“Biden talked about responsible hunters knowing you don’t need to outfit your deer rifle with 100-round clips – clips that don’t exist on this planet.” They are not called clips but 100 round barrel magazines, like the ones our WWIITro and WWII troops and CHicago Gangsters used on their Thompson machine guns. The troops went to 30 round clips because the barrels rattled and alerted the enemy. Problem is that you can’t get the ammo as the government has a monoply on it.
Calico Firearms still makes a 9 mm rifle with either a 50 or 100 round helical-feed magazine. It’s semi, but with the current price of 9 mm, that’s probably good. For a slight reduction in ammo cost, they also have a .22 LR version with the 100 round helical-feed magazine.
The communist state in America, where Joe threatens the American people by threatening to use the military against us.
I would LOVE to own my own F15.. OR F4 phantom. Or Tommohawk F14..
My preference would be the A-10. As nearly indestructible as any aircraft ever built and packing the ultimate machine gun.
