No matter how you want to spin this one, the conclusion is the same: Biden is inferring that the media has enough influence to persuade the people that an unconstitutional action is constitutional:
Biden: We’re counting on ‘legitimate media’ for successful gun control effort
Biden said that it was important for the media to dissuade the American public from the idea that the Obama administration was prepared to do something unconstitutional on guns.
“To be very blunt with you, we’re counting on all of you, the legitimate news media to cover these discussions because the truth is that times have changed,” Biden added, warning that people would continue to “misrepresent” the White House’s plans for gun control.
But there’s more. Not only is this a clear admission that the media is capable of shaping and directing public opinion – even to the point of convincing people to allow their rights to be taken away while thinking it isn’t happening. But Biden is also admitting that Obama’s gun control efforts are actually unconstitutional. Here, read this again:
“To be very blunt with you, we’re counting on all of you, the legitimate news media to cover these discussions because the truth is that times have changed,” Biden added, warning that people would continue to “misrepresent” the White House’s plans for gun control.
But the 2nd Amendment is very clear that there is to be NO “gun control.” In fact, any attempt to control the right of the people to keep and bare arms is unconstitutional:
Amendment II
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Definition of INFRINGE
transitive verb
1: to encroach upon in a way that violates law or the rights of another <infringe a patent>
So, what part of “shall not be infringed” does Biden think it is constitutional to infringe upon? But wait, before you try to help Biden out by pointing to his “times have changed” line, don’t! Not only is that a fallacious argument, it is more unconstitutional usurpation of our our rights. The constitution provides two methods by which Biden and his political allies can change the constitution to fit the times, and neither path involves “just say the times have changed and ignore the constitution after that.”
So, thanks to old gaff-o-matic Joe, we now have an admission from the Obama Administration that the “MSM” is its propaganda organ and that Obama plans to violate the constitution – again!
And the Republicans STILL have not filed articles of impeachment…

Let there be no doubt that we live in the age of “Statist Media” . All hail New Media and the Internet .
If an “Illegal Alien” cannot exist even though there are laws that state they are then for logic to remain consistant it would dictate that no gun or weapon would be illegal. Therefore if the Democrats ignore current immigration law then we should disregard any law that restricts our ownership of guns and weapons. Unfortunately, logic cannot be applied to anything the left does in the pursuit of their satanic one world order. A verse comes to mind.
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine” (1 Timothy 1:9-10).
Chhelo,
Not Scripture. Pretty much the same thing Winthrope was saying when he told us that man will either be governed by God (the Bible) or the sword (govt). In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to find Winthrope was paraphrasing this exact Scripture verse. 😉
I was reading a post the other day, and the fella was basically making the argument for creating stricter laws in order to attain a gun. The problem is; just as the junkie can attain his drug, so can the criminal or nutter attain a gun.
Sheesh! First Pelosi, now Biden! You’re killin me this morning.
Somebody needs to make the case that even though times change, our constitutional rights do not. As for the media…we don’t watch any news but Glenn Beck anymore, not even Fox because the media just can’t be trusted. I never thought I’d see a time in our country when we didn’t have a free press, but here we are.
Trapp,
We have a free press, it’s just not the “legacy media.” And Beck is not the only one out there doing good work. Add Breitbart to your routine, and then some of the overseas networks. Between that mix, you’ll have a decent idea of what is really happening — and why.
