Speaking to Wired in an interview published Thursday, Biden said that no amendment is “absolute,” thus suggesting that even something as precious as the freedoms guaranteed under the Bill of Rights are not set in stone.
Responding to a public curiosity about his gun control platform, Biden explained not only what he felt about the Second Amendment, but all of the similarly vital constitutional amendments as well.
“From the very beginning you weren’t allowed to have certain weapons,” Biden said. “You weren’t allowed to own a cannon during the Revolutionary War as an individual.”
“Anybody think you should be able to go out and have a machine gun these days?” Biden asked.
“The answer is no, we have a rational policy. No amendment to the Constitution is absolute.”
While his statement is technically true, this should not be a fact that’s used to push an agenda.
……Constitutional amendments — whether we’re talking about the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Sixth Amendment or 13th Amendment — are there for a reason, and it’s terrifying to think that liberal politicians like Biden are so enthusiastic about stripping away the rights guaranteed under the Constitution in order to push an agenda.
Of course, this isn’t the former vice president’s first attempt at highlighting the fact that constitutional amendments are not set in stone.
In 2019, Biden claimed that “no amendment is in fact absolute” while speaking about gun control, scoffing at patriots and others who take their rights seriously.
“These guys will tell you, the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots,” Biden said then, according to the Washington Examiner. “Give me a break.”
The despicable asshole denigrates people far better than him; those who sacrificed their lives not just for our liberty, but the freedom of people in foreign lands.
We value civil liberties and every single amendment in the Bill Of Rights. The Constitution is a document of negatives. It prohibits the government from manufacturing authority it does not have.
Biden not only dismisses Constitutional rights but would love to get rid of the ones he views as expendable.
Let that sink in.
Newsflash for Biden: if he thinks the Tea Party movement during the Obama regime was a pain in the ass for leftwing authoritarians, wait and see what happens if Dem party malfeasants try to cancel the Constitution.
