During a press briefing, Biden raged on about how ‘disappointed’ he was in the Supreme Courts’ ruling on guns. “I am disappointed in the Supreme Court gun decision. There is one little bit of solace. And the — the minority making up the majority opinion has laid out that it affects not every state; it affects only 40 states. A lot of states it affects”
He continued, obviously forgetting the notes in his hand, “And the phrase that I found noticeable was: There’s a difference between states that say “may” and say “shall.” If you have to say you “shall” give, you “shall” do ABC, they’re the ones that are going to have problems. But most say “may.” I mean, “may” — I got it reversed — “may” and “shall.”
concluding, “And so there are — the gun laws in 40 of these states are still in place based on the decision. Not good enough, but it’s — I think it’s a bad decision. I think it’s — and I think it’s not reasoned accurately. But I’m disappointed.”
While Biden raged about guns, he idiotically had his notes backward for the press to see, and see they did. The notes Biden carries around are an embarrassment. They included things like where to sit and when to leave.
Honestly, after this I almost expect to see Biden with his name and address pinned to his shirt ‘incase of emergancies’. How the media can continue to ignore his obvious cognitive decline is beyond me…
Just LOOK at his notes:

The Supreme Court Thursday ruled 6-3 that New York’s regulations that made it difficult to obtain a license to carry a concealed handgun were unconstitutionally restrictive, and that it should be easier to obtain such a license.
The existing standard required an applicant to show “proper cause” for seeking a license and allowed New York officials to exercise discretion in determining whether a person has shown a good enough reason for needing to carry a firearm. Stating that one wished to protect themselves or their property was not enough.
“In this case, petitioners and respondents agree that ordinary, law-abiding citizens have a similar right to carry handguns publicly for their self-defense. We too agree, and now hold, consistent with Heller and McDonald, that the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the Court’s opinion, referencing two previous gun cases. “Because the State of New York issues public-carry licenses only when an applicant demonstrates a special need for self-defense, we conclude that the State’s licensing regime violates the Constitution.”
