Joe Biden Suggests Americans Owning AR-15s Are ‘Sick’ People Who Want to ‘Kill Someone’
CHARLIE SPIERING 26 May 2022
President Joe Biden suggested Thursday that Americans were purchasing guns like AR-15s for the sake of killing people.
“What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?” he asked during his speech reacting to the school shooting in Texas.
The president repeated his talking point that owners of “assault” weapons like an AR-15 did not need them for hunting unless the deer were wearing “Kevlar” body armor.
“It’s just sick,” Biden concluded.
On Wednesday, the White House repeated Biden’s talking point on social media, suggesting it was not an off-the-cuff remark.
