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:
--- Quote --- 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?
--- End quote ---
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? :silly:

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"?
