Joe Biden Advocates Breaking The Law

So, the Vice President argued that Americans should break the law in order to ward off would-be attackers. Besides being a spokesman for shotguns, Biden advised to fire warning shots into the air to scare intruders away.:  In a Facebook chat last Tuesday, the Vice President said that he instructed his wife, Jill, to blast shotgun rounds outside the house in such circumstances.:  As Keith Koffler noted today, in some states, firing rounds into the air is: illegal[1].

According to: USNews[2], Mrs. Biden: could be charged in Delaware with aggravated menacing — a felony — and reckless endangering in the first degree.: ”You cannot use deadly force to protect property” a Delaware defense attorney told the website.

In a recent case remarkably similar to Biden’s scenario for his wife, a Tacoma, Washington man: was charged with assault[3]: after he shot his gun into the air to try to frighten off two boys he says he thought were prowlers.

In another: recent episode[4], a man in Mesquite, Texas was handcuffed, escorted to jail and charged with “discharging his weapon in a metropolitan area”: after firing a warning shot into the ground on his own property to ward off men who had been trying to break into his home.

And in February, a New Hampshire man: was charged with a felony: [5]after he fired a warning shot into the ground as a burglar attempted to break into a neighbor’s home. The charges were later dropped.

While Joe Biden is pushing for new gun controls, he advocates using them irresponsibly — and : illegally — to law-abiding gun owners. : People the Obama administration says won’t be harmed by their anti-gun policies. : It just shows you that liberals know nothing about guns, gun safety, or the current gun laws — and they want new ones.
