(Jack Davis) President Joe Biden’s aim was way off Wednesday when he misfired in a comment about the Second Amendment, according to a major fact-checking website.

Politifact ruled against Biden on Friday, saying, “Biden misrepresents what the Second Amendment says.”

During his pitch for gun anti-gun proposals, Biden sought to imply he was following in the path of the Founding Fathers.

“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. You couldn’t buy a cannon,” Biden said Wednesday according to a White House transcript of his comments.

“Those who say the blood of lib- — ‘the blood of patriots,’ you know, and all the stuff about how we’re going to have to move against the government. Well, the tree of liberty is not watered with the blood of patriots. What’s happened is that there have never been — if you wanted or if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons,” he said.

Politifact noted that during the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden claimed that during the Revolutionary War, while the United States was governed by the feeble Article of Confederation, individuals were banned from owning cannons.

That claim was rated as malarkey.

The text of the Second Amendment opposes limits on the right to bear arms.

“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed,” it reads.

University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds said the text does not limit ownership.

“The Second Amendment places no limits on individual ownership of cannon, or any other arms,” Reynolds said.

In the modern debate over limits on gun ownership, a 2008 Supreme Court ruling said that individuals have the right to own guns.

“The amendment limited government action, not people,” said Fordham University law professor Nicholas Johnson.

“From the way Biden put it, the Second Amendment regulated weapons. The more immediate driver in 1787 was the desire to keep the federal government in check,” Politifact wrote.

“The framers of the Constitution agreed that a federal government might need a standing army. But coming out from under one despot, they wanted to avoid creating another,” it said.

In ruling against Biden’s accuracy, the site wrote, “Biden said that from the start, the Second Amendment ‘limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own.’”

But, the site said, “The Second Amendment limited government power, not the rights of individuals.”

“We rate Biden’s claim False,” it concluded.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
