Vice President Joe Biden recently caused a stir when he told people at a roundtable discussion that if they were worried about protecting themselves at home, a shotgun would be more beneficial than an AR-15.
This was being debated in the context of the Obama administration’s calls to renew the federal assault weapons ban. In a Fox News story, Biden was quoted as telling the group that he instructs his wife to use a shotgun in the event of a problem. He reportedly said he’s told his wife to walk out onto the balcony and fire two blasts from the double-barreled shotgun.
“I promise you whoever’s coming in is not gonna,” Biden is reported as saying. “You don’t need an AR-15 (assault rifle). It’s harder to aim. It’s harder to use and in fact you don’t need 30 rounds to protect yourself.”
A double-barreled shotgun has long been a weapon used to incite fear.
So is Biden right? What do you think?
Would a double-barreled shotgun be an adequate deterrent and a better choice should a woman feel the need for protection?

(In the best "The Closer" tone you can imagine) If that was meant as dig, it didn't work but it did put a hardy smile on my face. (Since you've oft wondered if I really smile)
How many of those who believe we actually require additional firearm restrictions on number of rounds / magazine size or semiautomatic weapons have been caught in a riot in real time? (Not TimeLife Photos) Some may find it hard to believe, but when the "fun breaks out" 911 or the number you use to reach the police agency - be it City, Township, County, or State will tell you "you are on your own..."
I mean he is everywhere...
And, I didn't mean that as a dig, rather as a statement of fact. The far right is so far to the right that anything a bit closer to center looks like the middle.
The fools who do stupid things and blame someone in the news are still fools.
Liberal logic - got it.....
My point was that it was bound to happen - somebody (idiot) was going to do just that and blame it as "advice" from the VP. When that did happen, someone on this thread was going to get a thrill and and invoke schoolyard taunts while accusing (by visual) the other side of schoolyard taunts. Silly stuff.
Yes, if that guy did a stupid thing against whatever his local laws state faces consequences. Talking about something and actually doing something are two different things. Isn't it you who is always writing "talk is cheap"?
Yet, I make a point with no schoolyard silliness and Sister lol and the gang come after me. Isn't it you who often writes, "go figure"?
Racer, that came from a report in the New England Journal of Medicine. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to repeat it. :)
Hold on tight as you patiently wait for April 1 :D
