After President Joe Biden demanded that millions of Americans be disarmed during his State of the Union address, a group of women responded in a video posted by the NRA on Wednesday.
Biden proposed a massive gun grab on Tuesday, naturally politicizing a tragedy. Biden described the actions of a young man who disarmed a madman with a handgun last month in Southern California, saving lives.
Brandon Tsay, whose heroism ended another potential rampage by the Monterey Park shooter at a dance venue in the city of Alhambra, was hoisted up by Biden.
“He saved lives,” Biden said of his special guest in a blatant attempt to further the left’s radical anti-gun agenda. “It’s time we do the same as well. Ban assault weapons, once and for all.”
“We did it before. I led the fight to ban them in 1994,” he said at the State of the Union. “In the 10 years, the ban was law, mass shootings went down. After we let it expire in a Republican administration, mass shootings tripled.”

Biden was referring to the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, which, even if in effect last month, would not have prevented the California tragedy.
A group of women who have decided to use their Second Amendment rights for hunting, sport, and self-defense responded to Biden’s remarks about their weapons.
The ladies sported their guns, educated Biden on the true facts of gun ownership, and sent the president a clear message in just five powerful words in a video posted on Twitter by the NRA: “Joe, Come and take it.”
President Joe Biden just made another push for a ban of America's most popular rifle in his State of the Union speech last night.
But these female gun owners and mothers aren’t buying what Joe is peddling:

“Dear Joe Biden,” one woman on camera said. “We aren’t terrorists. We aren’t the enemy. We’re the good guys.”
Another woman who participated in the video informed Biden more than 30 million AR-15 rifles are owned by everyday Americans – in case he was not aware.
Yet another woman holding her child reacted to Biden’s extreme comments by stating, “Tell that to the pregnant mother who saved her kids with an AR-15.”
The video is actually an educational opportunity for anyone interested in learning about the modern rifle’s role in self-defense. It is also an opportunity to get the facts straight about the 1994 gun ban.
According to the NRA, during the 10 years, the “assault weapons” ban was in place, the country’s murder rate actually increased by almost 20 percent.
That is data that matters.
Biden disingenuously connected the slayings in California to mythical “assault weapons” he and so many anti-gun activists consistently refer to. “Assault weapon” is a disingenuous term that is meant to demonize popular sporting rifles – and people who own them.
The simple truth, which the NRA video effectively illustrates, is that outside of some very isolated and tragic incidents, most gun crimes are committed with handguns. In addition to that, for many women, guns are the ultimate equalizer.
More gun control would punish millions of Americans – women included – by making them more vulnerable to violent crime.
It is abundantly clear by now that Biden Democrats are not serious about keeping Americans safe.
