Glenn Reynolds, concern troll.

Putz predictably took offense to Biden's hilarious smackdown of that wingnut who called his assault rifle "his baby":

The big news isn't the diminution in Biden's already microscopic chances of becoming President, but the collateral damage to other candidates and the Democrats' brand. It's hard to win swing states if gun owners hate you. Biden just exacerbated a problem the Democrats have been trying, with some success, to ameliorate.

Democrats have a problem winning swing states? Uh, no.

Given that Democrats just took control of the Congress by winning Senate seats in red states like Virginia and Montana and House seats in red states like Indiana and Kansas, I don't think Democrats are the ones with the brand problem.

And here's the real kicker -- 67% of Americans favor a ban on weapons like the one that guy called his baby.

Please, spare us the concern trolling Putz. You and the wingnut kooks who think it's cute to lovingly caress their automatic assault rifles on national television aren't going to be voting for Democrats no matter what they say about guns.
