“It’s harder to use an assault weapon to hit something than it is a shotgun. You want to keep people away in an earthquake? Buy some shotgun shells.”

So I'm confused...he wants us to use shotguns but not assault rifles?

That's pretty much what he said. How is it confusing? How is anything Bidden says confusing? Gibberish, sure, but confusing?

At least he is not advocating repealing the 2nd amendment like some of you conservatives would like to think.

I'd take a shot gun over an assault rifle in a home defense situation. Seems like maximizing your bullet coverage of one shot would be beneficial. Not sure that statement is a way to legitimately say assault weapons should be outlawed.

what about assault or tactical shotguns?
also I would prefer a handgun, it leaves only one hole in my wall!

[mrveggieman]

Yeah I like handguns better myself.

Well I mean because he says it's easier to hit something with a shotgun but he wants to ban assault rifles. I know they aren't going to repeal the 2nd amendment.

It's confusing because if it’s harder to use an assault weapon to hit something than it is a shotgun, why do we want to ban assault rifles and not shotguns?

Biden said it. End of confusion. Leave it alone and let him wander back to the home.
