A lot of people whinge about how useless Twitter is and what a waste of time it is, and, generally, they are probably right; however, personally, I have been using it as an exercise to try and condense my normal, verbose writing style, with occasional success. For example, I never would have written something nearly as concise as this on this weblog:
Apparently Vice President Joe Biden thinks women are too stupid to use a firearm liberals want to ban because it is too easy to use.
(Exact verbiage changed a little to help flow and remove hashtags.)
Sure, it may not be the most graceful of sentences, but I dare say it adequately sums up this bout of verbal diarrhea from Our Glorious Vice President:
If you want to protect yourself get a double barreled shotgun. Have the shells, a 12 gauge shotgun, and I promise you… I told my wife; we live in an area that’s wooded and it’s somewhat secluded. I said Jill, if there’s ever a problem just walk out on the balcony put that double barreled shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house. I promise you whoever is coming in is not going to… you don’t need an AR-15. It’s harder to aim, it’s harder to use and in fact you don’t need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun.
Of course, it is also worth noting that break-action 12-gauge shotguns have significantly stronger recoil than .223 rifles, warning shots are, by and large and possibly universally, illegal, discharging a firearm at a target without first identifying your target is inherently unsafe and can also lead to criminal charges, and discharging a firearm into the air is also generally illegal and patently unsafe.
In other words, Vice President Joe Biden is an ignorant, misogynistic imbecile, and in so being, he remains what he always was – assassination insurance for Our Glorious President.
To think he is just a heartbeat away. Scary.
It is hard to believe that the individuals that spend so much money, time and other resources on “gun CONTROL” do not have a better understanding of the technical detals of gun usage and design. Are these people just un-informed but well intentioned? Not sure, but I am being confinced that they are just dishonest individuals that have no good intentions and are only interested in removing guns from the average person to make them more dependent on the government.
Insurance that the stupidity x 2 will guarantee an assassination or insurance that there will be a moron to continue the plan if one of them is assassinated?
@ Rikkisan: One word: “football”. Now we get to see how old my readers are…
@ Tyler Cruse: Well, it depends on which class of “gun control” supporters we are talking about. If you are referring to the folks in the Brady Bunch or at CSGV, there is not a single good intention to be found amongst them – they are in it for the money and the political power, and I do not at all feel wrong or incorrect to describe them as honestly “evil”. But the useful idiots who are suckered by those organizations and who genuinely believe that “gun control” will bring peace and happiness and unicorns? Yeah, they probably do mean well, and they are unquestionably ignorant – those organizations not only count on their ignorance, they encourage it.
After all, if they were educated about the facts, they would either have to live with being evil themselves, or abandon “gun control” entirely.
@ dave w: Insurance that no one wants that moron in charge, no matter how bad is boss gets.
Got the image of Smilin’ Joe leaving the football in the bathroom on his first trip anywhere, and his stupid grin never changing.
Thankfully, the President himself does not actually carry the football, but I wonder if it is anywhere near him these days…
“…break-action 12-gauge shotguns have significantly stronger recoil than .223 rifles, warning shots are, by and large and possibly universally, illegal, discharging a firearm at a target without first identifying your target is inherently unsafe and can also lead to criminal charges, and discharging a firearm into the air is also generally illegal and patently unsafe.”
I would include: Biden’s advice is to leave the safety and protection of your dwelling, exposing yourself to danger. Then render your defensive tool useless by dumping 100% of your ammunition (2 barrels = 2 shots) in the sky. Exposed and unarmed, just like plebs should be.
All that as well.
One would almost think he was trying to intentionally endanger and criminalize American citizens.
