This is the Law & Civil Rights forum. Let's keep discussion on that tack and avoid lampooning Joe Biden.
Yes, I know it's soooo tempting, but it's not what we do here.
Some of us remember that Joe was one of the architects of the original AWB, and that he used to argue that there was no individual right to keep and bear arms.
Now he's admitting there is, but he's trying to box it in by reducing it to the right only to protect oneself from crime (he also implies that the right extends to any crime). And for that, he reasons, you only need a shotgun.
The AR-15, he claims, is just a militia weapon, and since the 2nd Amendment is no longer about the militia, civilians shouldn't have them.
This from the guy who used to say the 2nd Amendment only protects a militia. My head hurts.
