Biden says... buy a double barrelled shotgun

58. I'm sure all his secret service guys abide by this wish as well.

Right?

Wrong.

Joe Biden's secret service detail members probably carry semi-automatic pistols and rifles, because they are rather more useful for defense than 'double-barreled shotguns.' They also probably employ lots of other weapons unavailable to citizens, from missiles to fully-automatic weapons in the service of defending the Vice President, but that's certainly no argument for further restricting citizens' access to firearms.

I own one shotgun (a 20-gauge, semi-automatic, 3-shot), and it's OK. But if I should need to defend my home from an intruder, it's a semi-automatic pistol that I'd reach for first. And if the pistol should prove inadequate, then a semi-automatic rifle would be the next thing I'd hope to have on-hand. Double-barrel shotguns are not even on my wish list.

I like him on a lot of issues, but Joe Biden is usually wrong whenever he opens his mouth about the Second Amendment. He's also pretty lousy about the drug war, so some brushing-up on the Constitution is in order, Joe. Furthermore, from a tactical standpoint his advice to his wife is terrible. He is telling her to expose herself ('walk out on the balcony') and then discharge all her ammunition in warning shots, leaving herself completely undefended after hearing a threatening noise. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Good thing Joe has more skilled Secret Service guys watching out for him & Jill.
