Speaking at the White House in the late afternoon, Biden said: "The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. You couldn’t buy a canon.
"Those who say the 'blood of patriots,' you know, and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government. Well, the tree of liberty has not been watered with the blood of patriots.
"What’s happened is that there have never been, if you want to, think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons."
Biden continued: "The point is that there has always been the ability to limit — rationally limit the type of weapon that can be owned and who can own it."
"We're not changing the Constitution. We're enforcing it," he added.
The Second Amendment, which reads — "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" — is one of the most commonly cited Amendments in the US.
This Amendment has been interpreted as the right to have a military and as the right for every American to own a gun, regardless of circumstances.
