Biden pulls trigger on next move against gun rights
Joe Biden once revealed his expertise with firearms during a 2013 interview.
There, he said, “If you wanna protect yourself, get a double-barrel shotgun, have the shells of 12-gauge shotgun and I promise you, as I told my wife — we live in an area that’s wooded and somewhat secluded — I said Jill, if there’s ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here or walk out, put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house,” Biden said.
The problem, of course, is that with virtually all shotguns, firing two “blasts” means the gun then would be unloaded and of no use defensively, unless one would swing it overhead like a club.
Since then, he’s moved several times against the Second Amendment, proposing new restrictions on so-called “ghost guns,” warning off those who would be first-time gun buyers, and more.
