Biden Admits Majority of Gun Deaths Not Caused by Assault Weapons

During a Google+ Hangout session, Vice President Joe Biden was asked about banning "assault weapons," despite the evidence that proves the majority of gun deaths are not the result of people using such weapons.

According to Vice President Biden, this fact proves the weapons have little utility and should not be owned by the general public. A convenient catch-22: assault weapons should be banned because they're dangerous; if assault weapons aren't responsible for many deaths, then apparently people aren't using them and there should be no problem with banning such weapons.

Regardless, this twisted logic does not answer the question proposed to him. If "assault weapons" are not responsible for the majority of gun deaths, why target them? It would make more sense to ban the guns that are being used in the majority of gun deaths.

Well, if Breitbart says it - it must be true. Actually, I saw no proof in the article that Biden admitted that.

 

[OODA_Loop]

Yes that is why we need to control:

HANDGUNS

Death of a thousand cuts.

This is an important point and I'm sure the NRA will make the most of it. In fact it could impede any hope Obama has of banning so-called "assault" weapons.

They are already set to ban assault weapons. Now it's time to turn their attention to shotguns and then handguns. They have only just begun their attack on our right to bear arms. They aren't going to give up. Stay tuned.

Too bad he is such a moron that no one will believe him

 

[Staidhup]

Of course they are too dangerous for Americans, he would know, and lord he knows best.

Well, this little graphic presents an outright lie. Show me one example of a type of automatic weapon that is "easily available."

 

[USNavyVet]

Automatic weapons are not easy to get and are not legal for the majority of the population. Nice try though.

We both know they're talking about semi-autos...

Which is why it is blatantly obvious that the Left will not stop at Assault Rifles. Make no mistake they are coming for them all. Baby steps.

No they're not. They said automatic. They are preying on the stupidity of most people who don't know the difference.

No what we know is they are trying always to associate semi-automatics with full automatics.

The gun grabber mantra relies on repeated lies to make its point. always has, always will.

Come back to the argument when you can be honest.

 

[Bigfoot]

Typical fake Indian post.

That's not what it says. So you deliberately present something that you know is making a false claim....

 

[francoHFW]

OP? Because they're involved in ALL THE MASSACRES, you IDIOT? Unbelievable.

Of course they won't stop at just assault style weapons. But, before they try to take the others, They to roll up to homes with a half dozen or so, traitorous supporters in law enforcement and demand them and when you refuse, they break down the door and the shooting begins, home by home.
However, if individual gun owners got together and formed armed units, when hearing that the confiscation had begun any attempt at taking the guns would be a lot more hazardous and costly to them.
