'Like a true dictator’: Biden slammed over call to ban semi-automatic guns after Walmart, Club Q shootings

'It’s just sick, It has no, no social redemptive value, Zero, No, There’s no solitary reason for it except profit for the gun manufacturers,' said Joe Biden

NANTUCKET ISLAND, MASSACHUSETTS: US President Joe Biden termed the sales of semi-automatic guns as "sick." Biden asserted a ban on assault weapons following mass shootings at a Chesapeake, Virginia Walmart, and Club Q massacre. He said, “The idea that we’re still allowing semi-automatic guns to be bought is sick. It’s just sick. It has no, no social redemptive value. Zero. No. There’s no solitary reason for it except profit for the gun manufacturers."

He spoke to the media as he stopped at the Nantucket Fire Department to bring first responders Thanksgiving pumpkin pie. The President also added, "By the way, I’m going to get an assault weapons ban. Before this is over, I’m going to get that again. Not a joke, and watch. I’m going to try and get rid of assault weapons,” reported CNBC.

Biden also added that he would continue to assert the ban. “I’m going to try. I’m going to try to get rid of assault weapons. I’m always going to do it — I have to make that assessment as I come in and start counting to vote."

According to NYbreaking.com, Biden stated in an official statement, "Because of yet another horrific and senseless act of violence, there are now even more tables across the country with empty seats this Thanksgiving." “Jill and I grieve for those families, for the Chesapeake community and for the Commonwealth of Virginia, which suffered a terrible shooting at the University of Virginia this month. We also mourn all those across America who have lost loved ones to these tragic shootings where we must come together as a nation to resist,” Biden added.

'Biden speaks like a true dictator.'

The Internet quickly reacted to Biden's recent claims. A user said, "Someone ask Biden what type of guns his Secret Service uses." Another added, "Said the guy who literally sends billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine. Why would he want to arm another country but consider it sick for citizens of his own country to arm themselves." "Only way to protect ourselves from your administration," claimed another. A user said, "Biden speaks like a true dictator." A tweet read, "We need to protect ourselves from our liberal government." Another stated, "He is a threat to our Constitutional Republic." "He doesn't know what a semi automatic is. he also doesn't know how many states we have," tweeted a user. 

Another claimed, "The idea that we allow semi automatic weapons to be purchased* (insert: *by common peon rabble. My guards will remain armed to the teeth with fully automatic weapons and personal carry semi automatic handguns lol) is SICK! Absolutely no social value whatsoever!" A user said, "Not sure he knows what semi-automatic means." "Someone needs to sit down with this guy and explain like he's five..," wrote another.
