WH Press Sec: President Biden Did Not Mean Semiautomatic Firearms When He Said Semiautomatic Firearms

AWR Hawkins 29 Nov 2022

On Monday White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre said President Biden’s Thanksgiving Day criticism of semiautomatic firearms was actually meant to be directed toward “assault weapons.”

Real Clear Politics noted that their reporter, Philip Wegmann, asked Jean-Pierre about Biden’s comment:

    The president has said repeatedly that he wants to ban assault weapons, but on Thanksgiving when he was in Nantucket, he said: “The idea that we still allow the purchase of semi-automatic weapons in this country today is sick.”

    Obviously, that is a huge category of guns from rifles to pistols to shotguns that are not assault weapons.

    Did the president misspeak, or does he in fact want to ban all semi-automatic guns?

Jean-Pierre responded, “No. He was talking about assault weapons. That’s what he was talking about on that morning or afternoon when he was asked that question.”

Breitbart News reported that Biden was talking to reporters on the morning of Thanksgiving Day when he criticized the fact that semiautomatic firearms are sold in gun stores and other retail outlets in America.

Biden said, “The idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It has no social redeeming value.”

What the Sam Hill is an "assault" weapon? Do those idiots in the White House really believe we're running around with fully automatic machine guns here in flyover country?

To liberals a assault weapon is any scary looking(no longer has to be black) weapon whether it is a semi-auto or select fire, most importantly any gun capable of holding a magazine of greater than 10 rounds. I'm sure they would love to force Americans into having only single shot muskets and pistols that they think were the only thing available when the 2nd Amendment was written.

My Ruger .22 has a 30-round magazine. Does that make it an "assault weapon"?

Why yes, yes it does to a democrat, and Lord help if if it also has a suppressor.

Joe didn't mean what he clearly said, and hes gonna ram it down your throats to prove it!
It doesn't matter, anything Joes says or does has to be better than anything Trump did or does.

@mountaineer

Anything you use to assault someone else.

Could be a hammer,a screwdriver,a pot of boiling spaghetti,etc,etc,etc.

Oh I think Biden certainly wants all guns taken away from citizens, from semi-auto to single shot shotguns... Pellet/bb guns are not off his radar. He just spoke it out loud a little sooner than his groomers wanted him to.

Without a doubt. 

The Left always tells you what they want and fully expect their adversaries won't think that they really mean it.

And when you accuse them of meaning to do what they actually said, they accuse you of being a crazy conspiracy theorist... right up until the moment that they actually do it.

At which point, you become an "Enemy of Progress" or of "humanity" or whatever abstract BS they need to further conflate tyranny with security, and to justify their lust for power.

You will know when the legislation goes through and Biden clearly meant semi-automatic.  Of course,as usual, those that lie for JOE will count it as another clever manipulation to sukker the public into letting Joe and democrats get what they want.  Democrats lying to the public to get what they want has been so successful, it should any more be a given tactic, as well as the fools that aid and abet Joe.
The useful fools know their place, remain silent afterward.

The DEMS = party of abstract BS.

Isn't the sale of automatic weapons already forbidden?

Semi-automatic weapons could be handguns or long-barrel rifiles.

You can buy, sell and own full automatic weapons if you have the proper license.
