Biden on self-defense: Get yourself a shotgun

“You have an individual right to own a weapon both for recreation, for hunting and also for your self-protection,” he said. "But just as you don’t have an individual right to go out and buy an F-15—if you’re a billionaire—with ordnance on it, just like you don’t have the right to buy an M-1 tank, just like you don’t have a right to buy an automatic weapon" you should not be able to get other weapons for which there is "no reasonable societal justification, or constitutional justification."

Thoughts?

The fact that he doesn't know that it is legal to buy an automatic weapon and is comparing a gun to a military aircraft and battle tank says a lot about how poorly his brain is functioning.

What ever do you mean. Surly the fact that i can't buy and ARMED F-15 should also should mean i can't buy an semi-automatic rifle.

That's because nobody will sell you an F-15. You can buy a MiG-21 for a song though

The constitutional justification is that it's a weapon suitable for arming a militia and ensuring the security of a free state- not hunting, recreation, or even personal defense. In fact, there's no constitutional justification to own a gun for recreation or hunting!

He went on, in a FaceBook interview, to point out the shotgun is a lot easier to defend yourself with. In other words, it's more dangerous. If it is, why not ban those instead? However, it isn't- a carbine is FAR easier to shoot accurately and easier for most people to handle, especially smaller people.

The AR-15 is not automatic, and I believe we DO have a constitutional right to own an automatic as controling them is an infringement on my right to bear arms, and congress has no constitutional authority to enact such a ban.

Theres no use in debating libs on the topic of guns/weapons. They dont listen and arent interested in learning anything. Best to just let them carry on for a while until they find another bleeding heart cause to rally around. An "assault weapons" ban will not pass the House.

Seriously, right wingers aren't interested in debating anything. They just want to punch everyone who doesn't agree with them in the face and tell them to shut up and go away. Well that ain't gonna happen.

There likely will be some type of gun safety legislation in the very near future. New Town was a turning point in the nation's psyche regarding gun violence. Most Americans including a majority of gun owners now support new gun safety legislation.aimed at reducing gun violence. This year we'll probably see legislation requiring stronger enforcement of background checks and possibly limits on high capacity magazines. I wouldn't be so dismissive of more gun safety legislation in the futurel. Most Americans also now support restrictions on "assault weapons" but the NRA has too many politicians in their hip pocket for that type of legislation to pass right away. Doesn't mean we won't see something down the road.

Right wingers can chill out though. Despite all the fear mongering by the NRA black helicopters will not be coming for your guns.

I know it isnt an M1A but didn't FPS Russia barrow some dude's tank that could actually fire rounds?

VP Biden is that you???

Americans have short memories and nothing significant will come of this. You say you want to reduce gun violence? Then why not go after handguns? Handguns are used in the overwhelming majority of gun crimes. Banning so called assault rifles wont make a dent in overall gun violence.

You dont really want to solve the problem do you?

Just go with your initial knee-jerk reaction and move on im guessing.

Oh and that last sentence of yours isnt entirely true. A few libtard states are trying to pass gun confiscation bills soooooooo yea there is an attempt to grab guns going on.

You give me the awful impression of someone who has never read a single argument against your position.

Check this out. This all may be a moot subject. We all know the old saying. "what's good for the goose is good for the gander"

Well, Mr. Biden, the biggest fake bubba in the world, got it partially right. There's nothing quite like the clack clack of a pump gun chambering a round to get people's attention. It's only beaten by the incredible impact of firing off a 12 gauge in a dark room. Boom!
