Biden: "I guarantee you Barack Obama ain't taking my shotguns, so don't buy that malarkey"

Sunday September 21, 2008

The gift that keeps on giving! This from a guy who has an "F" rating from the NRA. Yeah, he's believable.

"I guarantee you Barack Obama ain't taking my shotguns, so don't buy that malarkey," Biden said Saturday at the United Mine Workers of America's annual fish fry in Castlewood, Virginia. "Don't buy that malarkey. They're going to start peddling that to you."

Biden told the crowd that he himself is a gun owner. "I got two," Biden said, "if he tries to fool with my Beretta, he's got a problem. I like that little over and under, you know? I'm not bad with it. So give me a break. Give me a break."

Does this guy think that the gun owners are reassured by his insistence that Obama isn't going to take away shotguns? Shotguns aren't the issue, it's handguns that are the issue. Handguns were the issue in the Heller case and they are the target of gun control proponents. Every time the Obama campaign talks about gun ownership, it's hunters and shotguns not handguns and protection.

The more they try to reassure us that they don't intend to take away guns from gun owners, the more suspicious I'm becoming (and I'm not alone). Obama has said that he couldn't take our guns even if he wanted to because he doesn't have the votes. But if that changes, well that's another story, isn't it? He's telegraphing what he's going to do and if we care about our rights, we better seriously think about who we're sending to Congress and the White House.

Biden has not said any thing notable in all time he's been in the congress.So why we do we really take him seriously now. He is McCain's best friend after all. And will end up helping McCAIN getting elected.

Biden is right, Obama will not take HIS shotgun. Anti rights politicians will not disarm Feinstein, or her anti gun cronie's bodyguards. Only law abiding citizens will be disarmed. Criminals will still be allowed to keep unregistered guns to commit crimes against their victims. Politicians enjoy high crime rates, it enables them to appear to be doing something about it-increased taxes, bond measures to "fight crime", and "do nothing feel good" legislation. If crime was actually lowered, people will have other things to concentrate on-political corruption, wasted tax dollars on an expanding wasteful government, noticing too many "feel good" laws being passed, instead of really solving any problems. Remember the "clinton wars", that diverted attention away from corrupt political deals, high taxes, excessive salaries and benefits for politicians, and of course Monica.

The elites and high minded politicians will keep their guns. The average American citizen will be the ones disarmed.

I wonder what kind of shotguns Joe Biden owns?

As for myself, I have more shotguns than I need but no where's near how many shotguns I want. The same goes for revolvers, SA pistols, rifles and the Barrett .50 cal.
