My emphasis added:

 

Vice President Biden said on Thursday that a shotgun would serve better for protection than an assault weapon during the event of a natural disaster such as an earthquake.

 

"[G]uess what? A shotgun will keep you a lot safer, a double-barrel shotgun, than an assault weapon in someone's hands, who doesn't know how to used it, even one who does know how to use it. You know. It's harder to use an assault weapon to hit something than a shotgun, OK. So you want to keep people away during an earthquake, buy some shotgun shells," Biden was responding to a question that was raised during a Google Plus Hangout about reducing gun violence. ...

I don't know what's worse the politicians who spread these lies or the people who believe them.

I'm wishing for a youtube video that shows Biden shooting at 25 yards at a man size target standing behind a "hostage" child target with a shotgun with buckshot and a rifle, taking 5 seconds or less to aim with each.

I guess it depends on the size of the cracks caused by the earthquake, are we shooting across the cracks?

Well then, problem solved. If the scariest and most efficient weapon is a shotgun, and it is trivial to use as per the VP, the clearly we should be banning skeet guns not the hard to use and less efficient assault weapons.

 

Quick, someone run and tell Feinstein.

I expect the secret service and capital police to hand in any rifles in favor of double-barrel shotguns immediately.

I find the g.e. mini gun to be shotgun-like, pull trigger, multiple projections come out. Not so good for hostage situations.

What if the hostages are your in-laws.

So if shotguns are so much deadlier, then why aren't THEY being banned???

It actually STUNS me that our elected officials can be so STUPID.

I like to think that its their agenda to simply disarm Americans. I can't tell with all the shit flying around if they're intentionally lying or if they're just stupid.

 

Considering they can't figure out taxes and spending still, I wouldn't put it past them now.

[gunguy1960 2]

Shotguns will be banned, but there is an order to this, the democrats dont want to come across as "extreme".

So if Biden is recommending a double-barrel shotgun, is he going to make it illegal for three or more bad guys to attack an individual?

[MarkWVU02 47]

i really didn't know a shotgun was easier to use than an AR...funny thing is most times I've brought new shooters to the range they've disagreed with that statement saying the AR was the eaasiest to use of all my firearms...this guy is a world class dumb@ss.

Unreal! Then why don't police and military use them to clear houses?

I seriously believe Joe Biden has some sort of mental illness. Coupled with his low IQ, he gets an automatic seat on the short bus.
