They don’t work too bad on two legged varmints either

Biden is an idiot, capable of making idiotic comments on any subject that echos through his hollow head.

Actually a shotgun (with the right ammo, choke, configuration and training)) is a pretty good short range weapon. Which is why you see them in many police cruisers. Most (not all) situations where you have a long range common criminal adversary allow you time and opportunity to retreat out of harms way.

Joe has given a lot of very bad advice on self defense, but that doesn't mean a shot gun is only good for waterfowl.

The Texas Republican also challenge the Vice President to an hour-long debate on gun violence and ways to solve it

Isn't there an old saying somewhere about shooting fish in a barrel?

Biden probably knows nothing about guns but he lucked out and was not too far off in his statement.

Many shotguns are excellent defensive guns. In some situations they are probably the best choice but only in those situations.

Biden’s shotgun advice will get you thrown in jail after you are raped by your assailant laughing at you running out of ammo shooting at stars.

Joe’s advice “is go outside with a double-barreled shotgun and fire both barrels in the air”. That pretty much takes away it’s utility as a short range weapon. But you might bring down a bird or two. Yep, I think Ted got it just about right.

Well it could happen.

I did not realize he had said to fire both barrels in the air. Yeah he is stupid alright.

The usual Alinsky type digs, jibes and ridicule DOES NOT WORK against Sen. Cruz, which makes the lefties (and RINOs) bite their fingers in wrath even more. Good job, Ted, keep it up!
