Biden Cusses Out Auto Worker Over Claims He'll Try To 'Take Away Our Guns'

Former Vice President Joe Biden had heated words over the man's claims in a video that went viral. Biden has long favored a ban on the sale and manufacture of assault weapons and high capacity magazines.

Former Vice President Joe Biden had a heated exchange over gun rights while visiting an auto-assembly plant in Michigan on Tuesday as voters headed to the polls in the battleground state. As Mr. Biden greeted workers at the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles plant in Detroit, one worker told the Democratic presidential front-runner he was 鈥渁ctively trying to end our Second Amendment right and take away our guns.鈥 鈥淵ou鈥檙e full of shit,鈥 Mr. Biden responded. (Siddiqui, 3/10)

In the video, Biden is confronted by a hard hat-wearing worker who accused the former vice president of "actively trying to diminish our Second Amendment right and take away our guns," to which Biden immediately shot back, 鈥淵ou鈥檙e full of shit.鈥 Biden's aides quickly stepped in to try to get him to move along. But after shushing those around him, Biden insisted that 鈥淚 support the Second Amendment,鈥 and compared the issue to exceptions to freedom of speech granted under the First Amendment. (Oprysko, 3/10)
