"F&S: Do you think it’s an individual right?

 

V.P. BIDEN: It is an individual right, but it is also clear constitutionally that the government can limit the type of weapon you can own. For example, if the idea was to be able to repel a tyrannical government, then you should be able to own an F-15 if you have the money to buy it, with full ordnance. But you’re not allowed to do that, and the court says you can deny certain weapons available for individual ownership. You can’t have a nuclear bomb. So it is an individual right. You have a right for self-defense against any intruder or any illegal activity being perpetrated on you, and for your physical self-defense."

"MAGAZINE RESTRICTIONS

F&S: Let’s talk about that, the magazine capacity, because that was another common question. And I guess this one can sum up a lot of the way our readers are thinking about it, and this is from David Grant from Windsor, Colo. He says, “Considering that with only minimal training, a magazine in a semiautomatic handgun or rifle can be replaced in about three seconds, what is the purpose served by limiting the magazines to 10 rounds or less?”

 

V.P. BIDEN: Well, let me give David a concrete example. If in fact the only thing available was 10 rounds in the AR-15 used by the guy who butchered those children up in Sandy Hook, he would have had to change that magazine three more times. And in that time frame, the police would have been there sooner, saving the lives of one or two or three children who got shot."

 

My math... 3 changes by 3 seconds per change = nine seconds. By his "logic," the cops would have gotten there in that time?

Last I heard, cops wait outside until its safe to go inside.

IIRC,

 

Leos were on scene 20 minutes after shooting started at Newtown.

 

He could have used a screwdriver.

Biden contradicts almost every single point he tries to make, a few sentences later.

The more this guy opens his mouth the dumber he sounds. I can't believe I've actually heard his name mentioned as a possible candidate for the Democrat nominee in 2016.

Does he really think that Conn shooter and Ariz. shooter were "in panic mode?" seems like they were both calm, collected,cold-blooded pyschotic killers to me. so the wacko should be able to change a mag quicker than a panicked , or surprised law abiding citizen, but the normal person shouldn't need to avoid a time-wasting mag change? bs Biden.
