As we recently reported, Vice-President Joe Biden has a knack for putting his foot in his mouth.  Well, someone better find Biden a chair, because he’s now put his other foot in his mouth too. 

What was Biden's comment this time?  In an interview with Field and Stream, Biden said to people wanting to protect their homes, "…you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door.”

In most jurisdictions, that's a felony. (Minor detail.)

We don't have a "Bill of Needs". We have a "Bill of Rights".  The 2nd Amemdment says that, "...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

If I want an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, I should be able to buy one and protect my home with it. If I want a 30 round magazine, I should be able to buy and use that as well. If I happen to be home alone, and there's a home invasion attempt, those criminals will not be limited to 10 round magazines because criminals don't follow laws. So, living in California with our shrimpy 10 round magazines, I'm already at a disadvantage.

As far as possible new, more restrictive laws?

It's usually the other way around whenever a politician says anything, why would Joe be an exception. However, there is an automatic shotgun with very little recoil that would be suitable for even the most light weighted ladies. It holds several rounds and looks scary enough. Can't remember the name now but I would choose that one for self defense / domestic safety.
