Ignore the fact that the ounce of lead you discharge with each pull of the trigger has got to come down somewhere\u2026like a while back when a careless hunter emptied his muzzle-loader into the air, and the projectile came down and killed a teenage Amish girl far from the scene.<\/p>\n<p>And, gee, if the purpose of defensive firearms is just to make noise guaranteed to scare violent, committed, homicidal criminals away, I guess all we need for ammo is blanks, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Defending your home against (predictably multiple) home invaders with a two-shot weapon is rather like being forced into a boxing match alone against multiple opponents in the ring at once, and agreeing that you\u2019ll stop punching after you\u2019ve swung twice.\u00a0 And if you\u2019re going to just use it as a noisemaker, the way the VP supposedly told his wife to do, it follows both\u00a0 your punches in that full-contact, bare-knuckle fight are gonna just have to be shadow-boxing \u201cair punches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If our Vice-President has this to say about home defense, one has to wonder just how well-informed he is on other critical issues of the day.<\/p>\n<p>My friend Dave Workman had this to say about Biden\u2019s advice: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/biden-s-self-defense-advice-commit-a-crime?cid=db_articles\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/biden-s-self-defense-advice-commit-a-crime?cid=db_articles<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p>The rush to gun prohibition is monumentally stupid, and the statement above by the White House \u201cface of the (prohibition) movement\u201d shows an appalling lack of knowledge by those driving the push to criminalize a huge percentage of our nation\u2019s law-abiding citizenry.<\/p>\n<p>Will the media make a mockery of Biden for his dangerously bad advice, the way they tried to do to Marco Rubio after he fumbled while reaching for a bottle of water when his mouth got dry during a speech?\u00a0 Somehow, I\u2019m not ready to bet the farm on that\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, the man a heartbeat away from leading the Free World
