Keukasmallies Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Joe Biden is genetically incapable of keeping his mouth shut. His latest utterance, from the clown car we call the current administration, hypes shotguns as the weapon of choice for home defense. What a total a$$. http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2013/02/20/Biden-Buy-a-shotgun-if-you-want-safety/UPI-35731361349000/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm sure he heard that from someone who heard it from someone who heard it from someone. It reminds me of when GWHB went to the grocery store and was amazed by scanners. They're all so blatantly out of touch and the partisan tards just keep sending them back.

IDBillzFan Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 what exactly do you have a problem with in his assertion Frankly, a shotgun should be a first choice for home defense, at least in my situation. What some of us take exception to is how he, and the rest of this administration, are constantly trying to tell us what we do and do not need. While I understand most of their kool-aid supporters require direction from them, the real world does not, so I suggest he say "A shotgun is a good choice for home defense because under duress it helps to take complete accuracy out of the list of things you need to have to defend your home" and then move on to the next question because, honestly, no one really gives a crap what Biden or Obama thinks we "need."

You mean you dont like like getting told what you "need" from one guy with fake hair and fake teeth and another guy who spends $1,000,000 to play golf with Tiger Woods?

Well, in fairness, it's not like Obama used his OWN money to play golf with Tiger Woods. I mean, I know he THINKS it's his money, but still...

Keukasmallies Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 My problem w/ Joe Biden is that he tends to respond to serious situations much like Jimmy Griffin did in Buffalo during the Great Blizzard--the famous just-grab-a-six-pack-and-wait-it-out approach. Joe Biden is the master of pandering to the "unwashed" with his homey line of bull**** based on his career as one of the all time great hangers-on.

Meathead Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 my handgun instructor (a staunch republican) told me exactly the same thing. he said if i was getting a handgun for home protection i was far better off just getting a shotgun. he said you are NINE times MORE LIKELY to be injured by your own handgun than you will ever use it for actual protection. he also said when using a handgun for defense you are highly likely to miss your target even if you fire multiple rounds and even from relatively close range so really those complaining about joes good advice are really just using this issue to say they hate democrats. i wish they would just come out and say that instead of muddying the waters on this important issue with empty partisan bullsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to wake you up, but politicians ignore the fact they agree with their rivals and bash them on the issue anyway pretty much on a daily. Nobody likes getting advice from people who dont know what the !@#$ they are talking about, yet act as if they are, even if in the end they are correct. Its pomposity in its purest form to do so. So unless Hairplug Joe has some stats from experts on gun handling, hunting, and home crime to cite to back up his rant, he should shut the !@#$ up. Its like some blowhard car salesman giving you tax advice at a cocktail party. Even if hes right, hes still annoying the **** out of you. And if you then go over to your wife and say "Hey, Joe over there, a car salesman, said we should refi the house!", your wife would say "Put the beer down and call our accountant for tax advice, you moron."

You cannot be this clueless. Why do you think the media is splashing his quote..................to prove they hate democrats ? Joe Biden's long track record of making statements (true or not) that are in conflict with his own administration is the point. Its obvious..............................but you just stick with your own little "they must mean this" meme................ "none are so blind........." ,.

Keukasmallies Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm thinkin' your hand gun instructor must be a schlub if you compare him to Joe Biden. Would you really want to see either a hand gun or a shot gun in Joey's hands? What B-Man said... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 yeah i really am clueless bc i honestly have no idea what youre talking about i support gun ownership. i have a handgun permit (tho i dont own a handgun). i used to go hunting and loved things like target practice im a registered independant, ive voted for a republican the last two presidential elections, so this isnt about politics for me and i literally have no idea what your beef is on this sounds like simple partisan temper tantrums to me, but if somebody wants to try to make a cogent point i will listen you want reliable useful home protection, get a shotgun. so whats the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO ONE is saying that a shotgun isn't good home protection, or a handgun, or an "assualt" rifle, or a baseball bat. The thread is about the inappropriateness of Biden's comment given the administration's policies towards guns. you are right............you have no idea........... .

A new poll that shows most people agree with Barack Obama's gun control measures, half of which start with lines such as "Increase government spending for..." and "Spend $4 billion in federal government money to..." and "Spend $30 million in federal government money to..." Who'd have ever believed that more people are in favor of spending money we don't have to provide services that already exist or that should be provided at the local level??? America is on the president's side, and more importantly, the president is on the side of America. Because there's nothing we can't overcome if we just start every idea with "Increase government spending for...." Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
