Crime Man’s Defense Against Gun Charge: ‘I Did What Joe Biden Told Me to Do’

Jul. 17, 2013 7:00pm Jason Howerton

A Washington man who fired his shotgun into the air to scare away alleged car prowlers pleaded not guilty on Wednesday, citing Vice President Joe Biden’s questionable gun advice as the reason he took that specific action.

Jeffery Barton, 52, of Vancouver, Wash., is charged with one count of illegal aiming or discharging a firearm. He was arraigned in Clark County Court on Wednesday.

“Outside the courtroom Wednesday, Barton cited the vice president in defense of his actions.

“I did what Joe Biden told me to do,” Barton told KOIN. “I went outside and fired my shotgun in the air.”

“If you want to protect yourself, get a double-barreled shot gun,” Biden said in a previous interview.

“I said ‘Jill, if there’s ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here…put that double-barreled shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house,” the vice president added. “I promise you, whoever is coming in is not gonna– 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.”

Maybe he was arrested because he didn't a "Double-Barrel Shotgun as uncle Joe advised. He just had a single-barrel shotgun most likely......

I don't know which gets me more - political parasites trying to act like they are Masters of us all, or people dumb enough to believe taking their advice is some kind of defense.

Poor, brainwashed Jeffery will wind up holding the bag.

We recommend this man call the idiot Biden as a defense witness.

Everything this moron tells you will get you arrested.

Not guilty by reason of insanity, as only someone mentally impaired would take advice from Biden. Acquit then commit.

Following advice given by Joe Biden- epic stupidity.

Already done. Outside The Blaze I haven't heard this story anywhere. As much as Beck can be a drama queen and a showman, he's pretty accurate and his research is better than any of the major outlets. Brietbart and The Blaze are the 2 places to get stories the rest of the media don't want to tell.

Florida Mom Gets 20 Years For Firing Warning Shot

Florida Mom Gets 20 Years For Firing Warning Shot

Yeah, about that... it seems like other accounts paint a very different picture in that despite having a restraining order against him, she went to his place and started a confrontation, left the scene, got the firearm, returned, and then discharged it in what she claimed was a "warning shot" but what the prosecution called "attempted murder". Clearly the jury didn't agree with her.

Interesting case.

Do you acquit because, well... the VICE PRESIDENT said this is the way to do things?

Or do you convict because anyone dumb enough to listen to Slow Joe Biden deserves to do time?

Jeffy, buddy, c'mere. (Puts arm around shoulder) - let ol' Uncle Bill clue ya, m'man. Sometimes advice from even the best experts in the field - and what gun owner does not revere Joe Biden alongside John Moses Browning and Samuel Colt? - will lead you astray. Here's the bottom line, Jeffy - Joe is so dense his buddies used to use him as a boat anchor, which wasn't a problem because Joe doesn't know to inhale unless he's reminded. There'd be little bubbles coming up in the lake and they'd be Joe's voice, "Hey, what happened? Where is everybody? Why is it muddy here?" Fish used to thank their watery gods that they weren't Joe and barnacles would beat him at Scrabble. They only reel him in because they're worried he'll pollute the water.

This is the deal, Jeffy - he thinks he's the Vice President. No, really, and we're all just sort of nodding and playing along. All 300 million of us. Didn't you get the memo?

Did I fire two shots or only one? You see, in all this excitement of doing what Joe Biden said, I lost count. But seeing that this is a 12 gauge pump action shotgun and 00 pellets will blow your head clean off, you gotta ask yourself one question, do you feel democRAT? Well, do ya, punk?

I am so glad I live in a rural area where firing a shotgun is not a criminal offense.
