But here&#8217;s why he&#8217;s wrong, by the numbers! (<em>Photo: WhiteHouse.gov<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Joe Biden is, again, telling his donor class that he\u2019s committed to violating his oath of office and will continue to seek to ban AR-15s \u2013 or Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs). It\u2019s not the first time, but he continues to show his ignorance of firearms in general and contempt for the rights protected by the U.S. Constitution, which he swore to uphold and defend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Biden spoke to the Human Rights Campaign National Dinner and&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2nd-amendment\/2023\/10\/15\/biden-human-rights-campaign-national-dinner-who-gods-name-needs-weapon-100-rounds-chamber\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"by-the-numbers-why-president-bidens-call-to-ban-guns-is-wrong\" title=\"By the Numbers... Why President Biden's Call to Ban Guns Is Wrong\">said<\/a>,<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cWho in God\u2019s name needs a weapon with 100 rounds in the chamber? That weapon\u2019s only meant for one thing\u2026 to kill people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that he was in the U.S. Senate when the federal government banned the sale of MSRs from 1994-2004, a law that was signed by President Bill Clinton and expired under President George W. Bush. He said if he gets his way, he\u2019d do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs long as I\u2019m in office I\u2019m not going to stop until we get it done again,\u201d President Biden said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From his remarks, it seems he mistakenly believes there are \u201cweapons with 100 rounds in the chamber.\u201d The shockingly uninformed statement wasn\u2019t the most ignorant statement of the day. President Biden transitioned to speak of the horrors Israelis suffered during the Hamas terrorist attack, failing to connect the fact that Israeli citizens live under the type of gun control that President Biden wants for America \u2013 one that left them unable to defend themselves from terror attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWeapons with 100 rounds in the chamber\u201d don\u2019t exist, but here are the numbers that matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-400\"><strong>1,400.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the low-end estimate of the number of Israelis killed when Hamas launched surprise attacks from the air, sea and breaking through the security fences that separate Gaza and Israel. Most of those killed were civilians who were brutally murdered in the most barbaric ways.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/israel-music-festival-massacre-hamas-attacks-supernova-trance-music-festival-images-of-horror\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"by-the-numbers-why-president-bidens-call-to-ban-guns-is-wrong\" title=\"By the Numbers...

However, President Biden didn\u2019t acknowledge that there is no right to keep and bear arms in Israel. That right is uniquely American and had that right to arms existed and provided for a means of self-defense, that figure would be much lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-30\"><strong>30.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the number of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/10\/08\/hamas-attack-israel-americans-killed-hotages-gaza\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"by-the-numbers-why-president-bidens-call-to-ban-guns-is-wrong\" title=\"By the Numbers...

Israel has the right \u2013 indeed, the obligation \u2013 to defend itself and to ensure that this never happens again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That commitment to preserving the lives for citizens applies to Americans too. Ensuring Americans at home aren\u2019t left defenseless by respecting the right to keep and bear arms is paramount to that security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-199\"><strong>199.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the number of hostages Hamas took when they launched their attacks against Israel.

More recent updates are expected soon, but this figure shows the MSR remains the most-popular selling centerfire semiautomatic rifle in the United States today. There are more MSRs in circulation today than there are Ford F-150s trucks on the road. By any figure, that\u2019s a firearm that\u2019s commonly-owned and commonly-used.
