Vice President Joe Biden hit the Sunday talk show circuit to offer insight (such as it is and what there is of it) into the Trayvon Martin shooting. Well actually, no. He’s using the Trayvon Martin shooting to push his anti-gun agenda with a remarkable display of willful—or worse, oblivious—ignorance. Here are the Veep’s thoughts about Florida’s Stand Your Ground law and gun rights in general from CBS’ Face the Nation . . .
I think the Governor of Florida was right and the President was right: we should look at all aspects of this case . . . Trayvon’s case . . . to determine exactly what happened. And in the process I’m confident—at least I’m of the view—I understand—that the state is going to look back and see ALL the aspects of this. What contributed to this, what happened, who’s responsible for this, etc.
I’m confident that the people of Florida will debate whether or not this law, this stand your ground law, whether it’s been applied as it was intended to be applied and whether or not as intended it makes sense. But that’s a decision for the state to make.

Hey there Mr. V.P., with a legal pad and a few minutes I could write down the names of 500 people who own many guns and not one of those people has ever been convicted of a crime.
Even Democrats laugh at Joe Biden (or at least they facepalm half of what he says).
The man’s an embarrassment to them, and is quite possibly the worst spokesman they could employ to put forth any message they want to impart to the public.
Anything he says is liable to be read precisely backwards by anyone with a room temperature I.Q.
Oh, I remember Mr. Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.’s loud, loud obnoxious yelling so many years ago, ramrodding the Clinton-era gun-ban through Congress. He was dangerously effective back then, as a U.S. Senator. I think he only became really stupid after those subsequent brain aneurisms surgeries. I advise not to underestimate any opponent.
Once again, Rimshot Joe puts his total ignorance on display. The Second Amendment is dangerously effective when it comes to corrupt government and corrupt, evil politicians. Just ask them.
I agree we. If it were effective we wouldn't be saddled with such a corrupt, incompetent gov't.
With Biden calling for the end of the second amendment...and Obama doing the same with His Pal the Dictator of Mexico....
and with the killing of an American Agent with Fast and furious...
I believe that Obama will try to kill the second Amendment and Begin Gun Confiscations in His next Term ( If He Wins)
Heard in the White House, “Quick, we need someone to say something incredibly stupid ... where’s Slow Joe”?
It’s working for me and my friends Joe. Working very, very well.
He's right, you know. All the arms in the US in the hands of free citizens did not prevent the communist coup from destroying the nation.
Even Zimmerman’s atty. publically stated to the news media that the Stand Your Ground law in FL was not applicable and that it was simply a matter of self-defense.
Yet, the liberal idiots in the media and politics keep bringing up the SYG law. Gaaaahhh!
