Dan Bongino, welcome to the Bongino brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Here's an article by The Washington Examiner. Be in the show notes today, Biden's, quote, Common sense gun law reforms make no sense by Tristin Hood, where they address the fact that Biden again wants to get rid of. Here we go, Joe. Assault weapons. So what do they mean by assault weapons? Nobody on the left knows what assault weapons means, but that's intentional. Why?

[00:00:26]

Why, why? Why? The reason is the term sounds scary. Oh, my gosh. We don't want assault weapons in our community. Who wants that? That sounds terrible. But then when you ask him very simple questions like. Well, golly, what is what does that actually mean, an assault weapon, because you want to ban it? I'd kind of like to know what it means, right? It's weird that they never really have a perimeter around what that means.

[00:00:50]

Why? Why would that be? Because they want it to mean everything. An assault weapon will mean your slingshot. Remember wrist rockets.

[00:00:57]

And you remember that I happen to love them. Great. I know, because a lot of trouble. That'll be next. That'll be an assault weapon. That's why they never put a fence around what it means. Now, I found this video. Don't ask me how. I have been talking about this on the show for five years and I've never been able to locate it when I was a Maryland political activist and candidate in the liberal soon to be communist state of Maryland.

[00:01:23]

Sadly, I used to go on local shows and just the bait, the snot out of people, and it was so much fun. So this is a show I did with a guy Joe Armacost knows, a liberal activist named Billy Murphy. Oh yeah.

[00:01:37]

And another guy who was a state senator at the time and later went on to be the attorney general of Maryland. A far left radical left this Brian Frosh. This was a classic. I got two clips here. I hate putting up clips of myself. I know self-paced things. But here's an example. I had a debate left this because they're going to start coming for your assault weapon soon. Just ask them what it is. They have a really hard time.

[00:02:00]

Check out clip one from this debate and watch this guy get really pissed as I ask him, hey, can you define an assault weapon? He has no idea. Check this out.

[00:02:08]

Look, the assault weapon ban when it was national saved lives. Maryland's assault weapon ban will save lives. There's no need for these military style weapons for civilian use.

[00:02:21]

Well, Senator Frosh is a lawyer. I'm assume he's looked at the data. The DOJ zone study says the exact opposite. I suggest you take a look at that. Mr. Murphy said something completely inaccurate. Automatic weapons are not legal to purchase. You need a class three federal firearms license.

[00:02:36]

So that's not an accurate statement. Semiautomatic weapons only. So that's just not accurate. And as for assault weapons, can you define what that is? Is there a non assault weapon? I'm unsure as to what exactly you're talking about.

[00:02:47]

Let's be real. If you go on a gamble and you ask for an assault weapon, the man is not going to have any problem understanding what you are saying. Really, it's only it's only right wing gun nuts. Explain that to taking this debate to an extreme level. Let's not argue about this.

[00:03:09]

Listen, I hate I you should never. There's a guy. Would you agree, Paul? Let's think of Sir Joh. Isn't the golden rule, right? You never play your own clips. You just don't. It looks like, hey, look at me. Pat yourself on the back. I'm sorry. I have to break that rule this time. That was one of my favorite tidbit when I got off that set. That guy was so pissed.

[00:03:28]

Joe knows him. By the way, these aren't bad guys, you know, totalitarians they want to take. But, you know, they just, you know, maybe they are big. Who knows? But Joe Newman, whatever. It's fascinating. He wants government power to use it to take away an item he can't even define. And it he's mad at me because I ask him, you know, right wing gun nuts. You got it.

[00:03:52]

You know exactly what it means. It doesn't matter if I know what it means. You want to take it away. What do you want to take? I don't know. Go to a gun store and ask them why his. I have been looking for that clip for you have no idea the guy's the attorney general of Maryland and the other guy that Billy Murphy, they want to ban something. They don't even know what it is. Then they cite studies that cite the opposite.

[00:04:23]

The Department of Justice study on assault weapons conducted in the Clinton administration said the opposite of what Frosch was saying, that it had no effect on crime. The assault weapons ban. Just look it up. It was Clinton's justice. It's not hard to find. Use the interweb. I think that's why it started out like this is hilarious. You're ready for attorney general. You didn't even read the study you're citing. This is why he's a conservative, you only need like an IQ of one hundred and one to beat a liberal in a debate because their IQ is a fifty six, they just don't know what he thinks.

[00:04:59]

Here's part two to this. I'm by the way, this this was like an an hour show. It got more hostile. And I'm telling you, you have to buzz over it. They hated my guts. They couldn't get out of here quick because they were embarrassed. I want to ban an assault weapon. What is an assault weapon? And if I know, go ask a gun shop guy. But you want to ban it. Here's part two of this.

[00:05:20]

Check this out.

[00:05:21]

Did you notice what I said at the beginning of the show? You were going to use emotion, not reason. Did you notice how the emotion kicked in? Never defined what sort of weapon is what this is important, and then resorted to the right wing nutjob but never answered the question.

[00:05:31]

They can't define what an assault weapon is because it's based strictly on the only person in the United States who takes the view that you can't define define defined in the state, well defined in state laws.

[00:05:47]

What's the difference between an assault weapon assault?

[00:05:51]

There is a for people there is a right to marry. Arms cache. Oh, give me a break here. Take a look. All you have to do, all you guys, the statute, all you have to do is read the statute. Yeah, I what you said will tell us what it is. Why do I have to tell you if you don't know how we're going to go look for that statue, we'll be back on.

[00:06:07]

You know what it is. I said I'm laughing at myself like it's not me, like I wasn't there. I can't believe it. He wants to ban something at the federal level citing a state statute. He doesn't even know. He doesn't even know what it is. And then he says to me. Why am I living here myself? You should never I need a retractor, I need to retract this segment of the show of my own. I'm giving myself thank you to the retraction alpaca.

[00:06:41]

You should never left for your own jokes. Retract. This would be I can't help it. He says to me at one point, Joe a. Reverse tautology, he goes, you must be the only person in America who don't doesn't know what an assault weapon is after not knowing what an assault weapon, then did he misstep that maybe there were two people in America, be it him, because he doesn't know either? Someone should ask the cognitively compromised Joe Biden to lay out the perimeter of what exactly an assault weapon is, just a suggestion.

[00:07:16]

If Joe Biden ever answers a question ever during his entire presidency, if he ever does a press conference again. But you're probably just going to throw that out there to the media, you know, the same media, not to totalitarian C C to pay cousin to see the media. I mean, like the real media journalists like Peter Doocy, maybe you want to ask him that. Like, what exactly is an assault? Can you define that? Exactly.
