Former Vice President Joe Biden, the frontrunner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, told a Detroit union auto-worker on Tuesday as Michiganders went to the polls that the worker was "full of shit" and threatened to fight him.
"You want to go outside with me?" Biden asked the auto-worker during a tense exchange on gun rights in which the former vice president referred to "AR-14s" and asked why anyone would need "100 rounds" in a machine gun.

I’ve shot pistols before, but never something like an AR-15. Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection). The recoil bruised my shoulder. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary case of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.

A heated debate in the Mississippi Legislature this week got out of hand. Lawmakers said it's not unusual for a member to lose his temper, but some said Tuesday's outburst crossed the line. House Speaker Philip Gunn called for the sergeant at arms to escort Rep. Steve Holland out of the House Chamber. Holland refused to leave and reportedly said, "You better bring a gun with you." The Lee County Democrat was upset that the speaker had rejected his request to offer amendments to a bill...

An “assault rifle” is by definition full automatic (also known as select fire). A semiautomatic version is simply a semiautomatic rifle of less power than WWII semiautomatic rifles. So what is the origin of the idea that there is such a thing as a “semiautomatic assault rifle,” and that it is somewhere especially dangerous? Back in the 1990s, the Violence Policy Center, an antigun group, issued a report that proposed making such rifles a focus, because in the popular mind they were easily confused with fully automatic firearms. It essentially proposed a public relations campaign based on deception. -David T. Hardy, comments to Senate Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on the Constitution hearings on gun control and the Second Amendment.
