Biden Calls For Crackdown On Second Amendment Rights In Wake Of Martin Shooting…
« on: April 01, 2012, 07:22:40 PM »


Quote
(CBS News) — Vice President Joe Biden said Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” gun laws will be a topic of debate in light of the controversy surrounding the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

“It’s important that people be put in a position where their Second Amendment rights are protected, but that they also don’t, as a consequence of the laws, unintendedly put themselves in harm’s way,” Biden told anchor Bob Schieffer in an interview to air on “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

Florida’s gun laws allow people to shoot in self-defense if they feel threatened. Mr. Biden, who was chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee for eight years, said that the Martin case underscores the need to ensure public safety in accordance with current gun laws.

“The idea that there’s this overwhelming additional security in the ownership and carrying concealed and deadly weapons. . . I think it’s the premise, not the constitutional right, but the premise that it makes people safer is one that I’m not so sure of,” Biden said.

What is Biden sure of ? He just called a doctor "Doctor Pepper". He seemed pretty sure of that.

This is so much political flatulence.  All Slow Joe Biden is doing is sending up a trial balloon.  If they do, by some strange quirk of Fate, get reelected, he's signalling a strategy of the Obama Administration.  Coupled with everything else they've been doing, they just might get a Second American Civil War out of it.

C'mon, guys, they gotta do something.  After Fast and Furious blew up in their faces and shot the whole "90%" claim all to shit, they have to latch on to something to disarm us.  If the demoshits aren't letting a crisis go to waste, then what good are they?

It looks more and more like the Democrat party wants to rule this country much like the Emperor in Star Wars or the Lannisters in Game of Thrones . They no longer care to follow the Constitution that they swore to defend and protect. They keep pushing and someday it will come back to bite them.

Which is why they sent him out to float this turd.  If nobody bites on it, they'll just chalk it up to Crazy Joe being, well, Crazy Joe.
