Joe Biden

Gun Control Ideas

Vice President Joe Biden made this statement in an interview with Field & Stream's Anthony Licata, "Well, you know, my shotgun will do better for you than your AR-15, because you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door". Someone's been watching too many cowboy westerns: it isn't going through a modern solid door, and you'd be breaking the law by doing it.

He later repeated it as a double barrel .12 gauge, and just fire two shots in the air. Only a few problems with this

• If you shoot the 2 shots with a double barrel, you are out of ammo and you can’t shoot the intruders
• shooting randomly into the air is unsafe
• shooting a warning shot may get you arrested and jailed (illegal in most cities)
• if there are 3 or more intruders (and you only have a double-barrell), you may not have enough rounds even if you haven’t fired indiscriminately into the air
• A 12 gauge may be too powerful for the person, an AR-15 or some other gun is easier (safer) to control (what know-nothing Joe was recommending against)

Family

At least he's got a low drama family... or not: sex, hookers, debt, cocaine, and his son was sleeping with dead brothers wife
