U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Presumptive Democratic 2020 presidential nominee Joe Biden is not one for clarity, tact, or a firm grasp of the facts. However, even an American public that has long been aware of his shortcomings was taken aback in early March when the former vice president launched an unhinged attack on a pro-Second Amendment autoworker.
The verbal dispute occurred as Biden toured a Fiat Chrysler plant in Michigan as the state was holding its primary. As Biden made his rounds, autoworker Jerry Wayne went up to the presidential candidate and asked him about his position on the Second Amendment. Speaking with Fox News’ Fox & Friends the following day, Wayne explained that he “asked [Biden] how he wanted to get the vote of the working man when a lot of us, we wield arms. We bear arms and we like to do that. And if he wants to give us work and take our guns, I don’t see how he is going to get the same vote.”
Wayne told Biden, “You’re actively trying to end our Second Amendment right and take our guns,” to which a visibly agitated Biden responded, “You’re full of **it.” Following Biden’s use of profanity, a female Biden staffer attempted to quell the confrontation. Biden responded by shushing the assistant.
Biden then claimed that he supports the Second Amendment—providing as evidence his ownership of 12- and 20-gauge shotguns. An angry Biden then professed, “I’m not taking your gun away” and denied ever having said he would take guns away. Wayne responded that there was a video of Biden expressing his desire to take guns, to which the candidate responded with a denial.
At that point Biden thought it appropriate to point a finger in Wayne’s face and clarify that he was going to “take your AR-14s away.” The befuddled politician presumably was referring to America’s most popular rifle, the AR-15. When Wayne protested Biden pointing a finger in his face, a now irate Biden challenged the autoworker to a fight, replying, “Don’t tell me that, pal, or I’m going to go outside with your a**.”
Demonstrating a firmer grasp on U.S. civics than the Syracuse Law graduate*, Wayne responded to the unhinged “public servant” by saying, “You’re working for me, man.” Continuing his profanity-laced tirade, Biden responded with, “I’m not working for you. Don’t be such a horse’s a**.”
Confused, Biden then appeared to conflate commonly owned semi-automatic rifles with machine guns. Wayne was then forced to explain to the former vice president the difference between semi-automatic and automatic firearms. An addled Biden then shouted, “Do you need 100 rounds? Do you need 100 rounds?” before wandering off.
Describing the interaction on Fox News, Wayne recalled that Biden “kind of just went off the deep end.”
That is an understatement.
Biden continues to boast about his role as lead sponsor on the Senate crime bill that contained 1994 Clinton ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms and magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds.
At present, Biden’s campaign website touts his plan for a more restrictive ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms and magazines. Further, while attending a private $500-per-person fundraiser in November, Biden revealed his intent to ban 9 mm pistols. According to an article from the Seattle Times, while at the soiree, the 77-year-old asked attendees, “Why should we allow people to have military-style weapons including pistols with 9 mm bullets and can hold 10 or more rounds?”
As with so many anti-gun politicians, when Biden claims to support the Second Amendment, he is not being honest.
At a campaign rally in Dallas on the Monday before the Super Tuesday primaries, failed U.S. senate and presidential candidate Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke endorsed Biden for president. Sharing the stage with his former rival, Biden stated,
“I want to make something clear. I’m going to guarantee you this is not the last you’ll see of this guy.” Biden went on say, “You’re going to take care of the gun problem with me. You’re going to be the one who leads this effort. I’m counting on ya.”
By offering Beto a role on guns in a potential future administration, Biden has made clear that he supports Beto’s gun-control position. That position is gun confiscation.
During the Sept. 12, 2019 Democratic debate, Beto O’Rourke was asked about his proposal to confiscate commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms. Beto responded in part by saying,
“Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.”
Moreover, Biden himself has stated that he intends to take firearms. Biden had the following exchange with CNN’s Anderson Cooper when asked about firearm confiscation during an Aug. 5, 2019 interview.
Cooper: “So, to gun owners out there who say well a Biden administration means they are going to come for my guns.”
Biden:” Bingo! You’re right if you have an assault weapon.”
Biden must think he can get away with lying to Second Amendment-supporting working people. In the friendly confines of a CNN interview, Biden was more than happy to admit his gun-confiscation plans. However, put him in front of a group of workers and he tries to hide his radical anti-gun agenda.
Thanks to autoworker Jerry Wayne, Biden wasn’t able to get away with it this time. Wayne was correct to ask Biden about his history of attacking the Second Amendment and support for firearms confiscation. Biden, on the other hand, was full of it.

Creepy Uncle Joe has had two brain aneurysms repaired. Cutting into your brain to repair those can leave symptoms a lot like Alzheimers…word confusion, loss of memory, sudden bursts of anger, misuse of words, confusion, staring off into space. Any doubt he’s exhibited all those things? The man is not qualified medically to be President of the United States.
Don’t know who is going to be his VP, but I can guarentee she will be as bad as he is, probably worse on our rights…seems to be the direction these days.
His VP will likely be who they want to be President, being that Joe, if he completes his campaign and wins, will have only a few months at best before he is completely debilitated by the Dementia, Alzheimer’s, or whatever it is he now suffers from.
What worries me is that even if Trump wins, we are still screwed as he is obviously a Deep State operative, same as any other Democrat. Yes, Trump was a life-long Democrat before he decided to call himself and run as a Republican.
Would you say the same about any other Democrat turned Republican? Someone like Ronald Reagan, for example?
Dave W, I loved (no homo) Ronald Reagan before he was President and while he was President. He got rid of that ridiculous Federal law that required you to provide a driver’s license or like government issued photo ID, and have your name, address, DL nymber, DOB, and caliber, type, and quantity, of ammo you purchased, listed on a ledger, whenever you bought ammo. In years since his reign, I have been made aware of some damnfool things he did, too. I understand when he was Governor of Cali, he signed off on stricter gun laws, ostensibly because of militant… Read more »
May I suggest you start wearing a tin-foil hat around town.
May I suggest pulling your head out of the sand occasionally. It promotes the intake of oxygen plus, you just might see things for what they really are, rather than what we wished them to be.
JDC. I strongly recommend for his choice for VP, Massachusetts Senator and fellow POTUS contender, Elizabeth Warren. She is actually as exasperating and obstreperous as he is. What a team!
The COMMUNIST, HilLIARy SHOULD be facing a CONSTITUTIONAL TRIBUNAL COURT TRIAL. NOT the Admiralty system being used in America today. HilLIARy HAS COMMITTED TREASON against America AND the American People.
@USA – Why do you need these conspiracy theories? Is’t Biden bad enough for you?
When I see certain contributors I just skip by and hope for their recovery.
All this country needs is an unhinged man who can’t be civil to a common citizen’s questions. His reactions are indicative of how he treats or views the common everyday American with a lack of disdainful restraint. This is clearly a taste of what all leftist democrats appear to be about. The person that’s chosen as his VP will be the one to watch. Joe will be the token sacrifice for democrats to take the white house should the dolt manage a win.
Anti gunners and leftists in general cannot debate an issue as divisive as gun rights, since facts don’t support their contentions; therefore they avoid debate. By avoiding debate and repeating anti-gun talking points (we all know what they are), they can defeat truth. Unfortunately, as it stands today, with the loving assist of mainstream media, the strategy is working. Unless we go on offense, getting in their faces about how their machinations not only don’t enhance public safety, but enable criminals, we will lose our precious rights.
I take exception to your position. First, we have veterans, hunters, sports shooters, survivalists, constitutionalists, and so many more who have been buying guns for decades. Every time Obama or some other politician commented on eliminating guns, conservatives bought more. Since the start of this pandemic, both sides have seen the empty store shelves and decided they needed guns to protect their families and themselves. Many an anti-gunner became woke to the Second Amendment. Their eyes were opened and they spent large amounts of money for guns and ammo; large sums they are not likely to throw away. Guns they… Read more »
There is a “RUMOR” that Mr. Joe 0biden stated: “I am an intermediary to allow the “socialists” to gain full control of America.”(condensed).

Nothing more than regurgitated trash from the Barry Soetoro Administration Cabal.
Oath Breaking Career criminal politicians without anything useful or useable for the American public. They must be held accountable for their words and actions.
