Kiowa Kid, SASS #69870L Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that too many people own guns simplybecause they “like the way it feels,’’ and compared the handling of an AR-15assault weapon for some to driving a pricey sports car."There is a wholenew sort of group of individuals now that never hunt at all," Biden said in aninterview taped Wednesday and aired Thursday on MSNBC’s “MorningJoe.’’“But they own guns for one of two reasons — self-protection, orthey just like the feel of that AR-15 at the range. . . They like the way itfeels. It's like driving a Ferrari, you know.“And so my impression isthere’s not the same sort of cultural norm about gun ownership with a lot ofpeople who are buying guns now.”The vice president continued his criticismof the National Rifle Association, saying the powerful pro-gun group was guiltyof spreading “disinformation’’ and “paranoia’’ among the public.Bidensaid the public wants stricter gun control measures despite the reluctance oflawmakers to pass them.“This is one of the cases where the public is sofar ahead of the elected officials, I mean so far ahead,” Biden said in pushingthe Obama Administration’s ongoing quest for stricter gun controlmeasures.“You saw it in immigration. You saw it in marriage issues. Youare seeing it now. The public has moved to a different place,” headdedBiden slammed the argument that none of the gun-control measuresbeing pushed on Capitol Hill could have prevented the Newtown, Conn. schoolmassacre last December — insisting the size of ammunition magazines isimportant."Well, No. 1, the police got there in two and a half minutes.If there'd only been 10 bullets in each clip, [the shooter] would've had tochange the clip an additional three to five times."One of those kidswould be alive. Somebody would be alive. Statistically, the probability is thathe wouldn't have been able to get off 150shots."
T. H. O' Sullivan Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 As a former Army Aviator, I used to carry a Colt Commando XM177 in my aircraft. I liked the feel of the weapon and I liked the way it shot. So what's Biden's problem? I collect the AR platform now just because I feel comfortable with the firearm, and it was the first military firearm I ever shot and maintained beginning at age 18. Biden is a classic example of brain and mouth not operating in sync. What a tool.

Subdeacon Joe Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 And his problem is what, exactly? That some people like the feel of an AR or AK? It isn't illegal, so why should he care?
Mean Matt McCord, SASS #24683 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Biden has stuck his foot in his piehole so much, his tongue has "Rockport" permanently on it.
