Someone simply must intervene

Biden claims that 150 million Americans have been shot to death in the past 13 years. And we’re just barely into 2020.

"150 million people have been killed since 2007, when Bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability. More than all the wars! Including Vietnam! From that point on, carnage on our streets, and I want to tell you, if I'm elected [turns awkwardly to camera and points], I'm coming for you, and gun manufacturers, I'm going to take you on and I'm going ... blurble [drowned out in cheers]."

The bizarre thing about this, aside from the man’s decision to go all-out on control in, wait for it, South Carolina, is that Biden seemed to believe what he was saying was true; half the U.S. population felled by gunfire in just over a decade.

Next thing you know, the poor guy’s gonna announce that he’s running for the U.S. Senate.

UPDATE: As usual, the Babylon Bee is on the story: Joe Biden claims he’s the only human left on earth who hasn’t been killed by gun violence.

CHARLESTON, SC—Joe Biden made the incredible claim at last night's debate that he is the last remaining survivor of gun violence on the earth.

"Tragically, 7,767,050,847 have been killed by gun violence in the last week alone, and I am the only one left," he said somberly, apparently oblivious to the living people all around him. "If anyone were left to hear me today, my message would be, 'Please, never again should we let billions be killed by guns.'"

"We must pass legislation to ensure that deadly, fully automatic blunderbusses and cannons be banned from our great land. Thank you, Mr. Cronkite."

Biden then asked for a moment to huff a few grams of Metamucil before he could continue.

"In conclusion, I'd like to thank the people of Nevada -- who are all dead -- for having me out today. It's a wonderful country," he added before turning and solemnly walking right off the end of the stage, suffering minor injuries.
