Biden: ‘Black-helicopter-crowd’ doesn’t like gun registration

Published



On NPR’s ‘All Things Considered,’ yesterday, Vice President Joe Biden explained that requiring gun owners to register their weapons was a “logical” gun control proposal, but cautioned that it would incite protests from gun owners.

“When you go to registration, it raises all the black-helicopter-crowd notion that what this is all about is identifying who has a gun so that one day the government can get up and go to the house and arrest everyone who has a gun, and they’ll cite Nazi Germany and all that,” Biden said.
