In arguing against AR-15s and other ‘assault weapons’, Biden was asked his response to the concern some have in defending their home after an earthquake when the pillagers and thieves are out. Biden’s solution is to get a shotgun and some shotgun shells:

According to Old Joe, the self-defense expert, the best weapon to use is a double barrel shotgun. Let me see now, that is two shots with a range of about 15 to 20 yards. Yep, that is what I want to bet my life on when the nearest police help is days away.

That is the most ludicruos garbage I have ever heard. I bet he owns more than a shotgun.

The comments he made tells me he is completely ignorant of firearms.

I guess I should have just said he was ignorant period!

That Joe always mixing up his words, what he meant to say was "If you want to protect your Country against progressives........"

Sure Joe, and let me guess. We go along with this and the first time a kid gets shot with a 12 gauge, you'll be telling me to turn in my pistol grip Mossberg. The answer is NO. Then what, are you going after my Red Rider BB Gun and while you're at it, don't forget to pick up my Shuns and Sabatiers Chef knives with a blade more than 3 inches. We the American people are sick and tired of the lies from you and the rest of your crew.

Actually your pistol grip Mosburg is illegal in New York under the just passed law and it would also be illegal under the proposed law in Maryland. When you put a pistol grip on it it became an assault weapon.

Thanks James, I'll make a point of avoiding NY and MD when I move from RI to SC. In July, I turn 66 and at FRA, all bet are off with the condescending liberals I work for in NY.

Really appreciate your input.

I'd rather be shot with an AR-15 than a shotgun. A shotgun can blow your entire freaking head off.

Biden, the "gaffe king" makes an A$$ of himself as usual.

In order to really understand the low depths this nation has achieved, all you have to do is watch Joe Biden speak. Can anyone among you give me an example of someone during the formation of this great country, who would be like Joe Biden?

Dumb question, I know.

Actually, I don't think that's a dumb question. Our founding fathers were much smarter than the crooks in Washington now. I doubt they would have tolerated the presence of such an ignorant a$$ like Biden.

What if you have that double barrel shotgun and miss the 2 shots or there's more than 2 people! then your screwed and this is why we need assault rifles! All these people who did these shooting were mentally ill and had record of it! so don't take the assault rifles away from people who don't have mental illnesses!

I'm certain Ol' Joe would be comfortable with me blasting a bear off his back with my trusty double barrel.

Ruger has a "take action" page to send a message to our representatives that gun owners take their gun rights seriously and wont stand idly by as the "progressives" seek to cripple the 2nd amendment.

Please help and spread this around

Maybe Biden should have a chat with Bloomer about people having shotguns during natural disasters. Crime and pillage was rampant in NY with Sandy!

Why is a shotgun ok and a AR-15 not ok?

Because you can't hit a hostile target with a shotgun at 300 meters.

If a hostile can get within the range of a shotgun, you're already dead.

And that's how liberals prefer us.

I'm um, pretty sure, that a semi-auto weapon is easier to use than a shotgun.

My guns are not for hunting or target practice. They are safeguards against a tyrannical government.

"No land can be secured otherwise than by disarming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him whose property he is and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses else he lives precariously and at no discretion.

You must understand therfore, that there are two ways of fighting, by law and by force. The first way is natural to all men, and the second to beasts. But as the first way often proves inadequate; one must have means to resort to the second."

Machiavelli The Prince

"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infinged..."

James Madison 1789

"The Constitution shall never be construed ....to prevent the people of the United Sates who are peaceful citizens from keeping their own arms." Samuell Adams

"One of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular or respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms... the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government and one more safe guard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be possible."

Democratic Vice President Hubert H Humphrey

That's rich, hypocritical advise coming from a man who just voted himself a lifetime's worth of security detail on our tax dollars! You want my weapons, Biden? Molon labe!

Someone needs to send Biteme the video that Scoop had on here recently showing the different holes from an AR-15 and a shotgun and ask him which does the most damage... Yet they ban the AR-15 and promote a Shotgun... On second thought, nobody send the video to him, wouldn't want to be giving him ideas.

Did you see this from the Mills Fleet Farm CEO? Ducking hunting shotgun much more dangerous than AR-15! http://brainerddispatch.com/opinion/guest-columns/2013-01-10/duck-hunting-shotgun-more-dangerous-ar-15

Fleet Farm is a MN company, the one in the video is Baxter, MN (northern MN by Brainerd).  I wish ours in the cities had a range.

For once, a Conservative MN large business owner (lots of small ones like me but large guys kiss the O butt).  I drive an extra 30 minutes to shop there now to support him!  Guns and ammo, as well as lots of other things flying off the shelves and everyone is talking about his stance!  Online ordering available too :)

Joe opens mouth and removes all doubt: He's a MORON.

He actually has stumbled into the truth a bit. Shotguns can put one helluva hole in you if the shooter is using slugs. An AR-15 outs a small hole in you. But this fact escapes gun dummies. They ban the .22, but that powerful 12 guage shotgun is A ok

BITE ME, Biteme!

It's not your job to tell me what to use to protect my life, my family's life and my property.

READ THE SECOND AMENDMENT YOU PIECE OF KRAP!

Go back to contemplating your navel or whatever other deep thinking project you have going. And sit down and shut up. If you want a war, keep pushing the citizens of this Republic. But be VERY careful what you wish for.

He can also go back to telling newly elected female Dems to spread them since that is their favorite pasttime and have services available if an "inconvenience" comes their way from that behavior.

I know what you're thinking Mr. armed to your teeth with multiple 40 round clips, Mr. looter who thinks it's time to plunder, pillage and rape after this earthquake, since this here is a double barrel shotgun and with all the noise, you're wondering "did he shoot one round or two?"

Well in all the excitement I also forgot. Anyway, since you have about two hundred rounds at your disposal I have to ask myself a question.

"What difference, at this point, does it make?"
