Joe Biden Scolds Gun Owners After Hunter's Conviction: 'Who in God's Name Needs a Magazine That Holds 200 Shells?'
2024-06-14
[BREITBART] In a speech Tuesday afternoon to activists at a gun control event, President Biden asked, "Who in God’s name needs a magazine that holds 200 shells?"
Say you'e out hunting for groceries and a whole herd of elk cross the road right in front of you.
He asked this question during a speech given just hours after his son, Hunter, was convicted on three gun charges.
Which do you use? Your S&W 626 revolver, chambered in .357 mag? (6 rounds) Your 1911 .45? (10 rounds) Your AR-15 (200 rounds, count 'em) Your B40 RPG? (one round)? Or your 115 mm main gun (40 round basic load)?
During his speech, Biden continued his push for an "assault weapons" ban, then asked, "Who in God’s Name Needs a Magazine That Holds 200 Shells?"
The 626 is gonna break your wrist. The 1911 is gonna whack you in the face when you fire it. The B40's just a stick after you fire it. And your main gun is gonna take half your face off because you were dumb enough to buy a T62 because they were on sale cheap and nobody told you about the autoloader problem.
The crowd answered by screaming, "Nobody!"
Personally, I'd go with the AR-15. 200 rounds should let you take down a really big herd of elk.
Biden responded, "Nobody, that’s right."
If the buffalo come back, you might need to tape another magazine to the end of first one.
He then went on to recount a time he was campaigning "in the wetlands in Delaware," claiming he came across a fisherman who said, "You want to take my gun."
"I said, 'No. I don't want your AR14, Chuck. If I need a gun, my kid's got lots of them! I want your fishing rod!"
Biden said he responded by saying, "I don’t want to take your gun, you’re allowed to have a gun, but I want to take your ability to use and ’assault weapon.'"
"So me and Corn Pop broke his fingers. Then we had a shower together.”

#21  Well, I need one...or like 4. 500 each is better. Quad .50's don't feed themselves....oh and I need a quad .50 too. I'll mount it in the front hallway of the house, just in case.

#16  And all the firearms were shotguns, howdah pistols and double rifles. Real men relied on steady nerves, stalking and shot placement, not spray and pray.

#14  ^ I was speaking of civilian defensive firearm use situations, but that bears consideration also.

#13  In studied incidents, the encounter was only seconds long and practically never was an entire mag dumped.

There was a reason the Army altered the original M16 with an auto select switch to a three round burst select.

#12  Time Magazine averages 200 shells per edition.

"Who in Allah's name needs a 200 round magazine?"

#8  How long before the winding spring in that '200 round mag' starts going bad and you start having feed jams? Do you feel like manually loading and unloading often? Impractical...

#7  My Glock has 12 round mags + Xmag of 22.
My XDM has 20 round mags + Xmag of 35.

I carry the Glock with 2 mags, 36+1.
I shoot the Springfield with 3 mags, 95+1.

200 is a lot.

#6  That and they're pretty bulky, Ed. Not easy to manage in tight situations.

Kind of like a 18" blade on a knife. Looks scary, but that's about it. They'd be okay for skinning a deer or something, though.

#5  Eldest son said a guy in his platoon showed up with a 200 round snail mag in Afghanistan. They let him carry it on patrol. Only took one trip, and he put it back in the box. Turns out it weighs like 5 boxes of ammunition. (There is a reason why you can change magazines...)

I don't own a 200 round clip.
But I might own a few 8+ clips and a 50 rd drum that jams a lot ☺.

Besides, aren't JB and family guarded by SS agents carrying well over least 200+ rounds and other neat Self-Defense toys?

How about we start a Self-Defense equality movement?
That imposes and restricts all DC Swamp Creature the same as they do the Honest Voting US Citizenry?

Heh. I never shoot fish with an assault weapon anyway...
unless I'm out of dynamite and hand grenades.
