Joe Biden needs to win Michigan. It’s a swing state the President won in 2016, so winning the primary will do more than give Biden more delegates. It will solidify his reputation as being better than Bernie Sanders at defeating President Trump. But at a campaign stop at a factory today, Biden got a little agitated over a question about the 2nd Amendment.
So far, we’ve found two versions of the video. The one above is longer and seems to have better audio, while the one below from Benny Johnson gives a clearer picture of Biden’s angered facial features as he berates the guy.
Joe Biden is touring an auto plant in Michigan, a *must win* for Democrats. A blue collar Union autoworker asks Joe about protecting gun rights. Biden:
– Screams at voter
– Points finger in his face
– Says he will ban “AR-14s”
– Insults him
– Looks scaredpic.twitter.com/xgVLRDd2SR

Biden initially noted that he wasn’t going to take guns away, noting that “you’re full of sh*t.” Then when the worker mentioned a “viral video” Biden lampooned the notion, comparing it to other viral videos that he seemed to insinuate were false. He then proceeded to describe his love for guns, including shotguns that he and his sons used for hunting.
From there, he says he’s only going to take AR-14s away. There are, of course, no such thing as AR-14s, but it’s close enough for the discussion. He later appropriately calls them “AR-15s.” But the sticking point in the heated debate seemed to be Biden’s description of them as “machine guns” while the worker rightly referred to them as semi-automatic rifles. Biden continuously asked him why he needed 100 rounds. The typical AR-15 clip holds 30...

What in blazes is an AR-14?
Beat me to it. 8~)
Looks like somebody just reserved a seat in a re-education camp
Perform?
All they expect is for him to sign whatever they put in front of him.
Good one!
Lucky!
Oh no! Not my AR-14!!! /s
Biden will be Soros’s puppet - that is all the left needs. It’s actually better for them than someone who is clear-thinking and might ask questions.
I’ve ben “deplorable” and now I’m “dregs”.
I like “dregs” best!
Well said. Of course, if it starts to work out between the convention and the election, I'd be surprised if someone doesn't switch their heads.
I didn’t get why people were feeling sorry for him when he was losing.
My transcript:
Biden: I support the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment, just like right now if you yell ‘fire’ that’s not free speech. From the very beginning, I have a shotgun, I have a 20 gauge, a 12 gauge, my sons hunt, guess what - you’re not(?) allowed to own any weapon. I’m not taking your gun away, at all. You need 100 rounds? […] I did not say that, that’s not - I did not say that. [...] The viral video like the other ones they are putting out are […] lies. [...] Wait wait wait wait take the take the AR-14s … don’t tell me(?) … go outside … don’t be such a … look, here’s the deal here’s the deal: are you able to own a machinegun? [...] I said are you able to own one? [...] That’s right! So are(?) AR-15s illegal! [...] No it’s not. […] Do you need 100 rounds? do you need 100 rounds? [walks away]
Upshot: with better audio, seems Biden was calmer & more coherent than reports indicate. Nonetheless, argued at a prospective voter, indicated "right to bear arms" is about hunting, thinks high-capacity semiautomatics should be as illegal as machineguns. Not a winning scenario.
Vote for Slow Joe - he Depends on you!
Yep. Keep a close eye on the VP race on the Democrat side. Joe will be 25th Amended early on and Bernie will suffer another heart attack within month of taking office. You are voting for the democrat VP candidate to be president. Expect a woman of color.
