“So what would you say to the people who say, yes, you are infringing on our rights, not for sporting or for hunting, but in California, everyone talks about the big earthquake or some terrible natural disaster as a last line of defense,” DeFranco wondered. “What would you say to those people?”
“A shotgun will keep you a lot safer — a double-barreled shotgun — than the assault weapons in somebody’s hands that doesn’t know how to use it, even one that does know how to use it,” Biden advised. “You know, it’s hard to use an assault weapon and hit something than it is a shotgun.”
“If you want to keep people away in an earthquake, buy some shotgun shells,” he added. “I’m must less concerned quite frankly about what you would call an assault weapon than I am about magazines and the number of rounds that can be held in a magazine.”
Of course they do not want the LEOs to be out gunned and that is an issue that truly needs to be looked at for sure, but in banning the publics defense against a tyrannical Government and letting them keep their short range weapons and sling shots(which are also illegal in some places) they are attempting to ensure an uprising of the people leading to the collapse of said tyranny is a non-existent possibility.

that's why the entire u.s. military invaded iraq with double barrel shotguns with bird shot.
the less biden talks the better, unless he is so bored at being vp, that he has decided to entertain himself by trolling the media and the american public.
“You know, it’s hard to use an assault weapon and hit something than it is a shotgun.”
Point being – had he been armed he could have easily killed this woman and her children. Imagine if she only had 2 rounds as Biden suggests! What a moron!
I'm thinking of getting a gun but not sure what kind. I do know I want one with a mag that at least holds 10 if not 14 rounds.
Being a lady, the guns being smaller would probably hold 10, not for sure tho.

This guy is a gaff a minute. This disgusting, misguided attack against the 2nd amendment would be better served if Biden had his mouth taped shut. I'm glad he's still allowed to talk because he's not doing them any favors!
So a 2 round shotgun would be a more effective defensive weapon? The average home invasion has 3 bad guys. What does he recommend in that instance; the first 2 guys get shot and the 3rd guy gets a beating?
Liberals always want people “out of your bedroom” but they sure are quick to stick their nose in your gun safe or nightstand.
Just how conservatives claim to support smaller government, but yet want to force women to giver birth even in cases of rape?
Please stop calling the kettle black, Mr. Pot
