'You don't need an AR-15': A look at some of Biden's most inaccurate remarks about firearms and 2A supporters

President Biden's tenure in the White House has been marked with a consistent tone surrounding the Second Amendment and firearms, but on several occasions, the president has shown that he may not know the real issue at hand as he repeatedly pushes for a ban on "assault weapons."

Biden's latest remarks taking aim at strong supporters of the Second Amendment and certain firearms came last week during a speech at the National Action Network's annual Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast in Washington, where he appeared to mock his conservative colleagues. 

The quote Biden refers to dates back to Thomas Jefferson, who wrote in a letter, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants." Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence and America's third president.

"I love my right-wing friends who talk about the tree of liberty is water of the blood of patriots," he said. "If you need to work about taking on the federal government, you need some F-15s. You don't need an AR-15."
