Biden to gun owner, “If that’s his baby, he needs help”
Joe Biden on Gun Control and Gun Rights

If Barak Obama could have picked a running mate more hostile to gun owners than Joe Biden, I can’t think of who it might be. Picking a consummate Washington insider who brags about “writing” the Assault Weapons Ban looks more like the same old elitist East Coast crap than “change you can believe in.” I never have favored Obama, but I really thought he was smarter than this. Biden is a snide loose cannon, and can only damage the Obama candidacy.
Quotes:
“I’m the guy that originally wrote the assault weapons ban that became law. Then we got defeated. Then Diane Feinstein sent to town on it and did a great job. Look, we should be working with law enforcement right now to make sure we protect people against people who are not capable of knowing what to do with a gun because they are either mentally imbalanced and/or because they have a criminal record.” – Joe Biden, Video here.

"I think it [gun control] can be a liability. For example, i oppose registration. I oppose a lot of the — there is a Second Amendment and it’s real. The question is, though, there are certain things that I have strongly supported: eliminating cop killer bullets, assault weapons, the dealing with the ability to have multiple rounds in a gun, a semiautomatic, 20, 25, 17, 18 rounds. I don’t view that as any infringement on the Second Amendment, and i know in my state, which is a big gun owner state, there is a general acceptance by hunters and sportsmen for those limitations. But you have others in our party who believe very strongly that if they could they’d legislate no hand guns under any circumstances. They’d legislate restrictions and registration, which i do not support. So I think there is a logical balanced approach to take with regard to dealing with guns and gun ownership. But I — but I don’t think — I don’t agree with some in my party who are very, very strict on gun control issues relating to whether or not there’s a Second Amendment, whether the Second Amendment applies to individuals. I think it does.”

From the NRA:
NRA has been tracking the U.N...s gun-ban activities for well over a decade, and thanks to the Bush administration..s appointees to the U.N., the U.S.position on any global gun-ban treaty has been consistent and uncompromising: Hands off the Second Amendment rights of American citizens!
However, all that could change, now that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee–which approves or rejects our U.N. representatives and assesses international treaties for possible ratification–is chaired by anti-gun U.S. Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware.
Like Schumer, Biden is rated "F" by the NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) for his countless votes against firearm freedom. Like Schumer, Biden voted to expose the lawful firearm industry to crippling lawsuits; to extend and expand the Clinton gun bans; to allow a ban on most hunting-rifle ammunition; and to deny the free-speech rights of groups like the NRA during elections.
Now, as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden can use his power to sabotage pro-freedom nominees for U.N. ambassador–as he did with Second Amendment defender John Bolton–and bully fellow senators into accepting whatever gun-ban treaty the U.N. concocts in the name of fighting international terrorism.
Biden is sure to have a committed ally in California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who may chair the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security.

Joe Biden’s Positions on Gun Control and Gun Rights
Keep assault weapons ban; close gun show loophole
Q: How many of you, in your adult lifetime, have had a gun in the house?
[Show of hands]: Senator Gravel, Senator Biden, Senator Dodd, Governor Richardson, Congressman Kucinich.
Q: Sen.Biden, what could the federal government have done to save those kids at Virginia Tech?
A: What they could have done is three things.
In the so-called Biden crime bill, we put 100,000 cops on the street. I’ve worked with law enforcement for the past 30 years, with armor-piercing bullets, waiting periods, etc. But the one thing that’s clear: We should not have let the assault weapons ban lapse.
We should close this so-called gun show loophole, so you can’t go into a gun show and buy a gun that you couldn’t buy walking into a gun shop.
We have let the country down in the way in which we have not focused on mental illness. We should know that your kid is safe at college. If teachers determine that a child is a danger, the school should be able to take them off the campus.
