The former vice president, who is among the Democratic candidates calling for reinstating a ban on assault weapons, said claims that such guns would protect against the government ignores the power and machinery available to the U.S. military.
“If you need weapons to protect yourself from the government, you’d better go get an F-15. You’d better buy yourself a fighter jet” or a bazooka rocket launcher, Biden said.
He added, “The idea that an AR-15 is going to protect you from your government -- come on!”
Biden is among the candidates who will return to Nevada next week to speak at a forum on gun violence hosted by two prominent gun control organizations, March For Our Lives and the Giffords group founded by former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head in a 2011 mass shooting in Arizona.
