Biden keeps repeating false Second Amendment claim, despite repeated fact checks

President Biden has revived a pro-gun control talking point in the wake of the Uvalde mass school shooting that has been repeatedly debunked throughout the years.

Biden told reporters on Memorial Day that the Second Amendment didn’t allow for the ownership of cannons when it was adopted as part of the Bill of Rights in 1791.

“The Second Amendment was never absolute,” he said Monday, according to a White House transcript. “You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed. You couldn’t go out and purchase a lot of weapons.”

Biden has repeated the claim at least five times during his presidency, despite it earning him “Four Pinocchios” from the Washington Post in 2021 and a “False” label from Politifact on three separate occasions dating back to May 2020.

Biden made the claim again just last week after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.

“The Second Amendment is not absolute,” he said during a signing of his police reform executive order. “When it was passed, you couldn’t own a — you couldn’t own a cannon, you couldn’t own certain kinds of weapons. It’s just — there’s always been limitations.”

“The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own,” he said in June 2021, White House transcripts show. “You couldn’t buy a cannon.”

The Second Amendment as it is written does not limit who can “keep and bear arms” or what kind of arms people can keep and bear.

Federal gun regulation didn’t come until 1934, decades after the Second Amendment was introduced, according to Politifact.

Listen here, fat. I was the highest rated Constitutional Scholar in the Naval Academy when, when, when the 2nd Admendment was written in to the thing with, you know, those pens that have whatdoyacall it, a feather on the end of it. You don’t tell me what they wrote with, I know what the wrote with. What? Did you think it was a ball point pen?!? Let’s arm rassle if I don’t believe you!

 

Woman bites her sister’s eye off in drunken fight, police say

A woman bit her sister’s eye while in a drunken argument on Friday night.

According to arresting documents, 26-year-old Ashleigh Mason was intoxicated when she and her sister got into a fight while in a car.

Mason grabbed her sister’s hair, pulled her in, and bit her left eye, causing part of the eye to be ripped out.

Police said that Mason fled about a block and hid in a yard.

Mason was “extremely intoxicated” and screaming loud enough for neighbors to hear when they found her.

She had two bottles of vodka and a can of White Claw.

According to paramedics, the sister’s eye would need to be worked on by a plastic surgeon. Police believe the tear duct was ripped out but couldn’t tell because of the blood.

When will we finally have a serious national conversation about common sense White Claw control?

 

Woman who is sexually attracted to planes wants to marry toy Boeing

A woman in love with a plane insists her desire is not a flight of fancy.

Sarah Rodo, 23, even refers to the Boeing 737 as her boyfriend.

She flies on the aircraft as often as possible and has 50 replica models of the plane at home.

Sarah calls the Boeing Dicki and hopes to wed one day, even though it is illegal in Germany.

The Dortmund resident identifies as an Objectum Sexual, meaning that she is sexually attracted to inanimate objects.

She said past romances with men didn’t get her flying high.

She has also been in love with a train.

Sarah said: “My plane is called Dicki.

“I love everything about him, but particularly his face, wings and engine — they’re so sexy to me.

Asked for comment, the L and B and G said “Please leave the fuck out of this.”

As you noticed this morning our site had some technical difficulties. I ended up having to rope in the server administrators at our hosting company, and they said, “this is strange…”

Not something you want to hear from your sysadmins!!

Things are working at the moment, but at the expense of some of the bells and whistles you’ve all grown accustomed to. The core functionality, and more importantly the commenting function, is working well.

I am working on building a new website (in all my spare time) that will be more stable, and crash less. Please be patient with me.
