‘you need an F-16’ to take on gov’t

President Biden fired off another shot at gun rights advocates, saying that they would need far more advanced weaponry to take on the government.

“I love these guys who say the Second Amendment is — you know, the tree of liberty is water with the blood of patriots. Well, if [you] want to do that, you want to work against the government, you need an F-16,” Biden mused at a campaign event in California Tuesday.

“You need something else than just an AR-15.”

Biden stressed that he supports Second Amendment rights, but is in favor of policies to curtail gun violence.

“We have to change,” Biden said. “I’m a Second Amendment guy. I taught it for four years, six years in law school. And guess what? It doesn’t say that you can own any weapon you want … you couldn’t own a cannon. You can’t own a machine gun.”

A multitude of conservatives quickly seized on his remarks.

“Biden surrendered to a bunch of guys with AK-47s who lived in caves so…no,” commentator Ian Haworth tweeted.

Biden has echoed similar sentiments in the past, typically prompting some detractors to dredge up the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.

“My fave healing moments are when the President says he’ll F-16 me so I shouldn’t worry about defending myself,” conservative author Mary Katharine Ham chimed in.

“Thomas Jefferson,” Auron MacIntyre, a host at the Blaze wrote on Twitter. “The quote he is mocking is from Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence.”

As MacIntyre noted, Biden’s reference to “the blood of patriots” was a nod to Thomas Jefferson, who said in a letter, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.”

“No one needs a weapon of war because it’s no match for our weapons of war,” Fusilli Spock, a conservative humor account, tweeted.

Biden eventually grew bored of his Second Amendment quips.

“The generic point I want to make is — and I’m going to end this because I’m bored myself now,” Biden continued before pivoting to a discussion about the economy and abortion rights.

The president has long implored Congress to enact more stringent gun control measures to prevent mass shootings.

On Tuesday, court documents revealed his son, Hunter Biden, reached a pretrial diversion agreement on a felony charge for illegal possession of a firearm while addicted to illicit drugs.

The younger Biden also reached a plea deal for two counts for failing to pay his federal income taxes on time.
