President Joe Biden announced new regulations to curb the proliferation of so-called "ghost guns,"unserialized firearms made from kits.

Biden spoke of codifying a prohibition on manufacturing these firearms without serial numbers, requiring sellers to conduct a background check on prospective buyers, among other rules. He also detailed his desire to see assault weapons and high-capacity magazines banned.

Then the president invoked history to support his stance.

"From the very beginning, the Second Amendment didnt say you can own any gun you want, big as you want," Biden said at the press conference. "You couldnt buy a cannon when, in fact, the Second Amendment passed."

This isnt the first time Biden made such an assertion about the Second Amendment. Or even the second.

During his presidential campaign, he made a similar claim about cannon ownership in the Revolutionary War. We rated that False.

Then, in 2021, Biden said the Second Amendment "limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own." False again.

The Second Amendment did not place limits on individual ownership of cannons.

Historians have previously told PolitiFact that Biden mischaracterized the history of gun regulation and its ties to the Second Amendment.

The White House did not return PolitiFacts request for comment.

For Biden, the third time isnt the charm. We rate this claim False.
