ROTFLMAO! Ol' Joe spouts off yet another piece of ... uh ... "wisdom" ... in between the deliriums he regularly experiences down in his basement and the dipsh!ts at Politifact feel the need to fact-check it. BWHA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
I don't know who to feel more sorry for ... Gropey Joe with a raging case of dementia or the ridiculously clueless ingenues at the uber-libtard Politifact who are breathlessly slobbering over every one of Joe's unbalanced statements!

LOL.
PolitiFact fact-checked Joe Biden's claim that individuals were not allowed to won cannons during the Revolutionary War:
Share the Facts ~
TBH, we thought Biden was joking. But, apparently not:
Tim Graham ~ Was Biden at least joking? Apparently not.
Gropey Joe doesn't joke, Tim ... he foams at the mouth.
Biden's staffer couldn't find any law to back up his claim:
PolitiFact ~ Joe Biden said individuals were barred from owning cannons during the Revolutionary War. But his campaign couldn't point to any such laws, and historians are dubious. (Plus, it's clear that privateers did own them).
From PolitiFact:
Our ruling
Biden said, "You weren't allowed to own a cannon during the Revolutionary War as an individual."
The campaign was unable to come up with an example of a law banning private ownership of cannons, and historians of the period doubt that any existed. To the contrary, there are documented instances of privateers, or privately owned vessels, setting sail with cannons during the period.
We rate the statement False.
So, we can own cannons now?
Why not?! I own some ... and I installed 'em on Kathy's boat. So there!
