FLASHBACK: Biden Said “Bingo!” When Asked if He’d Come for American Guns if Elected

Asked in the interview about criticism that if elected president he would take away people's guns, Biden responded, "Bingo! You're right if you have an assault weapon." He said the Second Amendment doesn't say the government can't restrict what kind of weapons people can own -- "You can't buy a bazooka, you can't have a flame thrower," he told Cooper.

Biden doubled down on his support for gun legislation in the op-ed, writing that his administration would "get universal background checks passed" and build on the Brady Bill, which established the background check system, which Biden noted he helped pass through Congress in 1993.
