Uhm... no?

Been getting our self-defense and firearm-selection advice from our esteemed vice president, have we? Or, would that be just our talking points? Via the Washington Examiner: If you live in a city and you think you need protection of your home, you’re way better off with a shotgun than an assault weapon,” Clinton added. “Trust [...]

Brilliant.

Because the advice he offered last week to simply “fire two blasts” outside the house wasn’t recklessly bogus enough, here’s the vice president expounding even further on his recommendations for in-home self-defense in an in-depth interview with Field & Stream on Monday (h/t Washington Examiner): F&S: What about the other uses, for self-defense and target [...]

“Like, ‘Let me tell you what you need’..." Plus: Live stream of NRA response on universal background checks.

"Obama can’t miss."

And, for that matter, at the wrong weapons, too.  Washington Post columnist Courtland Milloy has already weighed in once on the necessity of the Second Amendment in recent American history in defense of civil rights.  Yesterday, Milloy related an epiphany he had at a gun range after firing a few rounds through the much-maligned AR-15 [...]

Tips.

Via the Examiner, I … did not expect that the argument for gun control might come down to a comparative discussion of which gun you’re better off using to bring a man down. (Counterarguments for semiautomatic rifles: What if you fire the shotgun and miss? Isn’t a rifle better at longer range?) But don’t be [...]
