Biden has another weapon on his ban list

 Washington Examiner:

President Joe Biden brought up 9 mm guns in new comments about gun control.

The remarks on Memorial Day come one day after Biden visited Uvalde, Texas, to meet with the families of victims and survivors of a school mass shooting that has renewed a wave of advocacy for more stringent firearm regulations.

Speaking with reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, Biden had been asked how close Congress may be to settling on gun access reforms, including red flag rules, to which he said it is "hard to say" because he has not been directly negotiating with Republicans.

He spoke about a trauma doctor from New York who, decades ago, while Biden was a senator and holding hearings on what "rational" gun laws could be, showed him an X-ray while talking about "probably" being able to remove a 22-caliber bullet lodged in someone's lung to save a life. “A 9 mm bullet blows the lung out of the body," Biden added. "So the idea of these high-caliber weapons — there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection, hunting."

In fact, 9 mm handguns are widely popular for self-defense and concealed carry.

...

“There’s only one reason for something that can fire 100 shots," Biden said.

The president also said the Second Amendment "was never absolute." He added, "You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed," a claim he has made before that fact-checkers have examined and deemed false.

I suspect the woman who shot a man threatening a crowd with an AR-15 recently used a 9 MM she pulled from her purse. What we know about Biden is that he is protected by men with guns and he objects to others having the same protection.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
