President Joe Biden pushed for more gun control on Monday, even though it was Memorial Day, a national patriotic holiday.
“The Constitution, the Second Amendment was never absolute,” Biden said to reporters.
The president spoke to reporters about gun control as he returned to Washington, DC, from Delaware for Memorial Day ceremonies.
Biden falsely claimed again that Americans were unable to purchase a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed, despite being repeatedly fact-checked as false by even the Washington Post and Politifact.
“You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed and you couldn’t go out and purchase a lot of weapons,” he said.
Biden recalled a briefing he had when he was a senator on bullet calibers and the damage they caused to the human body.
