Joe Biden Mocks Gun Owners Critical Of Executive Gun
Control
by Charlie Spiering 7 Jan 2016
Vice President Joe Biden
mocks the idea that there are actual gun owners who oppose President Obama’s executive orders on gun control.
When asked by to respond to gun owners critical of
Obama’s decision in an interview
with NBC
Connecticut’s Keisha Grant, Biden interrupted the question with an incredulous
laugh.
He reminded Grant that he was a gun owner, and suggested
that the average gun owner wasn’t concerned about Obama taking his guns.
“This idea that the average gun owner saying, ‘I’m a gun
owner’ – and I am one – is sitting at home and saying ‘you know Obama’s really
trying to take away my shotgun.’ That’s just bizarre, they just don’t think
that way,” Biden insisted.
Leaning forward in his chair, Biden said that Obama’s new
executive actions were trying to keep guns out of the hands of the wrong
people:
Do you think someone who is schizophrenic should be able
to buy a gun? Do you think someone who’s a convicted felon and is out of prison
after 10 years should go at the first stop be able to stop and pick up a Glock
or a 9mm handgun? Do you think someone who has been convicted of being a wife
beater, and a spousal beater do you think that person should be able to have a
gun?
Biden argued that Obama’s actions were specifically
directed at stopping people who weren’t mentally capable or had criminal
records from owning a gun, but were focused on enforcement of the laws already
on the books.
He condemned the “silly responses” from Republicans, who
continue to raise concerns about gun rights.
Biden blinked back tears as he recalled the deaths of the
children in Sandy
Hook Elementary, pointing out that he had something in common with
the parents of those children.
“We share a lousy thing in common, I’ve lost a couple of
children,” Biden said, adding that he keeps in contact with the family members
frequently.
“It’s something that haunts you,” he said. “It’s the idea
of those beautiful little babies in those classrooms like dolls discarded,” he
said. “If you focus on it, it’s hard not to be moved by it.”
He said that he was “surprised and disappointed” that
more gun control actions were not passed in Congress after the Sandy Hook
shooting.
“I knew it would be really, really, really tough, but I
thought we would succeed,” he said.
