Biden's Speech Blunder: Gun Owners Need F-15s to Fight Government

At a Moms Demand Action event in Atlanta, Georgia, President Joe Biden taunted American gun owners, suggesting they’d be overpowered by “F-15s” in a hypothetical revolt against government oppression. This comment inadvertently reinforced the argument many Americans make for needing firearms. Biden's slurred remarks included a call for banning “assault-style weapons,” stating, “if they think it’s to take on government if we get out of line, which they’re talking again about, well, guess what, they need F-15s, they don’t need rifles.”

Simultaneously, the Biden administration is working to seize F-15s and F-16s under state National Guard control, though this point went unaddressed. Biden also made a peculiar comment about having “attended too many mass shootings,” raising questions about his mental acuity. During the event, he falsely claimed to have been a constitutional law professor, incorrectly stated that owning cannons was illegal during the Civil War, and misquoted Thomas Jefferson’s famous “tree of liberty” quote, referring to the “blood of liberty” instead of “the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

Social media critics dubbed Biden a hypocrite for advocating gun reforms while his son Hunter was convicted on three felony gun charges the same day. Conservative commentator Dana Loesch highlighted this irony, questioning Everytown's stance on the matter.

This event followed another problematic appearance by Biden at a Juneteenth celebration at the White House the previous night.
