President Joe Biden’s “deer in kevlar” statement has attracted a lot of attention online as he vowed to crack down “on gun trafficking and ghost guns” while addressing his first State of the Union on Tuesday night, March 1. The 79-year-old leader said, “I will keep doing everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking and ghost guns you can buy online and make at home - they have no serial numbers and can’t be traced.”

He continued, “I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence. Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon? Why?” before adding, “Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that hold up to 100 rounds. You think the deer are wearing Kevlar vests?”

Biden’s Tuesday statement came almost a month after he called the Glock, a famous handgun in the US, a “weapon of war”. At a Gun Violence Prevention Task Force meeting in February, he said while referring to slain NYPD officers Wilbert Mora and Jason Rivera: “I’ve spoken to their families, and — and their loss for the city is also a loss for the nation. You know, the future is cut short by a man with a stolen Glock with 40 rounds — a magazine with 40 rounds. And it’s really a weapon of war.”

He had added: “One of the things I was proudest of years ago, when I was in the Senate - I was able to get these weapons and the size of magazines outlawed. That got changed. It got overruled. But I don’t see any rationale to why there should be such a weapon able to be purchased. It doesn’t violate anybody’s Second Amendment rights to deny that. But anyway, their futures were cut short by a man with a stolen Glock and that 40-round magazine.”

Meanwhile, people on Twitter had a lot to say on Biden’s “deer in kevlar” remark. A user tweeted: “Biden wants to ban assault rifles. The irony is that leftists are telling the people of Ukraine to take up arms and fight the Russians. Question: How do you take up arms to repel an invasion if your government has disarmed you? P.S. Russia, China, and Iran wear kevlar vests.”

The second one wrote, “@POTUS no Joe I don’t think deer wear Kevlar but I used to think my president was required to be intelligent and cognitive but I could be wrong #BidenIsAFailure #BidenIsADisgrace #takethetest #wrong #MAGA2024.” “Deer around these parts are packing a lot more than Kevlar... going to need to keep my ARs and drum mags. Sorry Joe,” the third one added.

So Biden wants a secure border, he wants to fund the police, ban assult weapons to protect deer wearing Kevlar vest... Cause everyone knows you hunt deer with an AR15. Issue he created now he want to fix them?? I'm just surprised he didn't commit to producing more oil in USA
