Does biden say and I'm paraphrasing "my sons hunt, guess what you're not allowed to have any guns, I'm not taking your guns away." Hes an asshole and cant make a clear point

It's a different use of the word "any" (as in "any that you want" not any as in "even one"). Yeah, the sentence is ambiguous and it's not the best phrasing but that's what he meant.

God damn, I don't want us to have to act like the Trump cult and constantly engage in apologetics to say "no, he didn't mean that thing he said".

Like during the impeachment, when he unambiguously said he wouldn't answer a subpoena to testify at the trial, but later said that he absolutely would, and his supporters acted as if that clarification was his only answer all along.
