'Man's got some guns': Biden makes awkward joke about man's 'guns' at anti-gun crime event

Joe Biden has made an awkward gun-related gaffe during a visit to a school in Queens.

The president, accompanied by New York Mayor Eric Adams, met with community leaders to discuss violence intervention programs amid a spate of gun crime in the city.

Biden was introduced to one of the heads of the program, Shyism Bryant, whom he greeted with a hug.

"I'll tell you what man, this man's got some guns" quipped Biden, squeezing Bryant's arm muscle.

"No more guns" joked another man.

"I mean these guns" Biden said, ​"Poor choice of words."
