It wasn't incoherent at all.

He was saying you have a second amendment right but like all rights, it is not unrestricted.

Just like the First Amendment. The government cannot breach your free speech right. That right is said to be unabridged. You still can't yell fire in a crowded theatre without breaking the law. That's because you have duties and obligations as well as rights.

It's a shame the US Constitution is so poorly drawn up, so that people spend all their time talking about me, when a society is a we. Rights claims aren't very interesting unless their limits are defined with respect to other people. If your freedom impinges on mine, then our so-called rights are in conflict. Unless you recognise that things like duties and obligations are part of the conversation, then all you get is stoopid assertions.

When people are angry, their grammar sometimes dissolves. But Biden was clearly saying he supports people's right to bear arms, within reasonable limits.

For myself, I prefer a society with no guns, except for those permitted to do so for some purpose or another. Gun ownership works better as a privilege, not a right.

Trump doesn't know anything in the first place. So that's a drawback of having a moron as a candidate.

"You're Full Of Shit!": Biden Melts Down In 'AR-14' Tirade After Voter Confronts Over Plan To Take Guns

Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden had a meltdown on Tuesday, telling a Detroit autoworker "You're full of shit!" when he was accused of "actively trying to end our Second Amendment Right."

"I support the Second Amendment," said Biden, adding in an incoherent ramble: "The Second Amendment - just like right now, if you yell "fire," that's not free speech... From the very beginning, I have a shotgun, I have a 20-gauge, I have a 12-gauge, my sons hunt. Guess what, you're not allowed to own any weapon."

"I'm not taking your gun away, at all," Biden continued - to which the man interjects "You were on video saying you were going to take our guns away," to which Biden replies "I did not say that."
