Biden: Obama Ain't Taking My Shotguns; He's Got a Problem If He Fools With My Beretta
Saturday, September 20, 2008 | Kristinn

Posted on 09/20/2008 2:25:07 PM PDT by kristinn

Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware sent a stern message to his boss, Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois to keep his hands off Biden's guns.

As reported by ABC News and Fox News this afternoon, Biden was trying to reassure rural Virginia voters that they have nothing to fear about losing their Second Amendment rights under an Obama administration.

From ABC:"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."

From Fox:

Biden has said he doesn’t hunt, but shoots skeet with the two shotguns. “I like that little over and under, you know? I’m not bad with it,” he said today.

>When guns are banned, only liberals will have guns.<

And the few Americans with the cajones to tell them to try it.

"If you get one from a licensed dealer then you have to register it."

When you figure out who to register it with please let the rest of us Floridians know so we can register ours.

P.S. There is no gun registration requirement in Florida no matter where you obtain it.

As if gun control is about keeping millionaire politicians from owning expensive shotguns. Is there an Elmer Fudd as stupid as Biden thinks they are? If Biden had truly said, “Obama is not going to take away my AR-15 or your Kalashnikov,” that would be impressive (although I still would not believe him). And not politician who truly supports citizens owning rifles of military utility would be accepted on the Democrat ticket.

FACT: Any double-barrelled shotguns with dual triggers are BANNABLE TODAY by the rogue pork of the BATF as machineguns. They are TOLERATED only at the beneficence of the BATF, since one need only tie a string between the two triggers to fire two rounds with one pull of the trigger. Thus they are ALL readily convertable to fully automatic fire, under the law. They have ALREADY prosecuted on this! They have ALREADY banned other shotguns with a bore over .5 inches in diameter.

Then why do you have to go through the process of background,
and three day wait on handguns?
When you do that you know they register it.

For that matter, wouldn't a lot of straight-tube-magazine rifles also fit that definition? Just load the magazine with pointed (non-plastic-tip) bullets, chamber a round, pull the trigger once, and potentially fire off all the rounds in the magazine.

Incidentally, the way the AWB was written, it would seem to prohibit something like a bass drum, since such an instrument could easily hold more than ten rounds (probably more than 10,000) and nothing in the AWB language required that a drum or other device actually be able to usefully feed ammunition into a firearm.

We don’t need Joe Biden’s guarantee against Barack Obama taking guns. We already have a guarantee against Barack Obama taking guns. It’s called the Second Amendment.

Does that mean Biden’s going to fight the Obamessiah if he tries to take away my Beretta 1201FP too?

Of course not, you're a dangerous republican. : ^ )

Besides "Plugs" is a sitting Senator which means you are a little person and he's a special person so laws don't really apply to him

I’m with you. That would definately be a good one to see. Sometimes I wonder if Biden is actually campaigning for Mccain.

The self-proclaimed author of the Assault Weapons Ban is now trumpeting his love for the RKBA? Didn't he notice that "F" rating from the NRA or the "F-" from GOA?

The GOA has a good summary of this gungrabbers' career:

As Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in the early 1990s, Biden oversaw some of the most massive expansions of gun control in the history of the United States. Biden was an early and chief proponent of the Brady bill, which required a five day waiting period before the purchase of a handgun. The Brady bill probably would not have passed without Biden strong-arming Republicans and getting the bill through the Senate 1993.

Another of Biden's chief claims to fame, as noted on his own senate website, is authoring the 1994 Crime Bill with its so-called assault weapons ban, a gun prohibition that actually banned over 180 types of common semi-automatic firearms. President Clinton noted in a 1994 speech that without Biden, "there would have been no crime bill this year."

The Second Amendment is not for skeet guns.
