Joe Biden Thinks 2 shots is enough

My "cycle the action" remark was of the proverbial tongue in cheek sort...

But to the nay sayers who cannot see the forest for the terms...

To open and close a break action gun is to "cycle the action"... Sorry if my humor attempt was higher brow than some can fathom...:rolleyes:
Mia Culpa...:o

Perhaps I should offer to provide an NRA Home Firearms Safety Course at no charge to the Vice President and his family.
I can think of no one right now that needs one worse than he does.
 
I'd love to see Uncle Joe shoot my old Parker and Ballard double with two 3 inch magnum buckshot in it. After he got his shoulder put back into place and his retina re-attached he might have a clue. :rolleyes:
 
IN some US jurisdictions what Biden is recommending is per se illegal under any circumstances.

In my opinion this is just part of the effort to drive a wedge between what they see as the two different types of gun owners/NRA members.

That isn't an opinion but a fact. That is the strategy employed at the Pennsylvania gun show and it is an open strategy of many in the gun control movement. It isn't so much as they believe there is an actual difference, but the strategy is to try and create the illusion of a division.
 
warning shots....

In the sunshine state; Florida, class G students(PIs armed security etc) are taught NOT to fire warning shots! :D
It's reckless, wastes ammunition, gives away your position, and is stupid.
See; www.mylicensesite.com .
New W/concealed license holders & G(security) get hand-outs/handbooks to remind them what the Florida Div of Licensing laws are.

The hey so what or I was never told that excuse doesn't fly with the state Div of Licensing enforcement office.;)
 
I think Biden's off the cuff remarks were not intended as literal advice but as admonishing people for buying all those high capacity wonderweapons that have been flying off the shelf. Don't buy an AR, buy a double barreled shotgun. After all two barrels are better than one right?

Doesn't make what he said any less stupid or irresponsible. He is always making "off the cuff remarks." He ought to try thinking before speaking, then.
 
I can't help but wonder who was the more exasperating VP to his President... Dan "Potato" Quayle, or Joe "Two Shots" Biden.

I can't think of a single president or candidate, with the exception of Reagan, that picked a sober VP.

Seriously the VP's job is to act as a campaigner for the presidential candidate. In the past couple of years we have moved to a permanent political campaign. (something the GOP doesn't understand in the least).

Biden isn't talking policy, he is politicking, even though neither he nor Obama will run again, he is campaigning. Their entire strategy is to win congress in 2014. Once you look at the actions of the administration from that point of view, everything makes sense.

I don't know a thing about Biden's background or education, but I can assure you he is not stupid. He is an actor, playing a role designed to win the trust and affection of blue collar working folks. He only has to appear as intelligent as the dumbest guy on a bar stool at that little beer joint three blocks from the Ford factory.

He plays his role well and his 'get a shotgun' comment plays well with working stiffs, farm folks and even a few of us who have used a shotgun in an anti-personnel role and know what it is capable of. Do you need thirty rounds to defend your castle? Probably not. Biden is hoping nobody gives it any thought beyond that point.
 
According to a USNews.com article, if she followed her husband's advice, Jill Biden could be charged with aggravated menacing, a felony, and reckless endangering in the first degree.

Reading the above maybe Joe don't like Jill.
He's definitely a piece of work.

Well, shooting it in the air is a hoot!

Even my antigun friends think he is stupid on that one.

Some years ago a friend was having trouble with a grandbaby-daddy who got mean with his daughter (who still lived at home) and threatened to shoot the rest of the family. I worked for the sheriff and we both lived out in the county, about a mile apart. So I stopped to check on them and when they invited me in, I saw his old 870 leaned in the corner of the 'mudroom'- where farm folks get out of their muddy clothes when returning home.

I said 'Looks like you're ready _____. I've got some extra 00 Buck in the car if you need it.' He says "Naw, there's quail loads in it. (Local Police Chief) told me if he showed up, to just shoot over his head, pepper his car and call you guys."

Once we got that sorted out, I visited the idiot who provided that advice and sorted him out, too.

I don't like Joe either, but I don't underestimate his understanding of his audience. That shotgun comment had the potential to appeal to an amazing range of country folks, fudds and liberals who shoot, but fall for that 'sporting purposes' BS. We can all be thankful his hoof-in-mouth moment ruined that to some degree.
 
We are going to have to start calling this guy 'Back-fire Joe', LOL.

The woman whom Vice President Biden urged this week to “buy a shotgun” for protection says the idea would likely backfire and suggested that the advice sounded sexist.

Biden made the recommendation during a Facebook chat on Tuesday, saying he has advised wife Jill to stand on the deck of their rustic home and fire the family's double-barreled shotgun in the air, should she sense an intruder.

“It was poor advice, and it comes off a little sexist,” Kate Ernest, the woman who got the advice, told Fox News Channel on Friday.

A little sexist? She's polite.

The sheer misogyny on that side of the gun discussion has been disheartening, to say the least.

So, ummm, now that the the Pentagon has changed its stance on women in combat positions, ya think Joe will recommend that all of our women in the armed forces should turn in their M4s in favor of double-barrelled shootguns?
