Biden Shows Why He Is Vice Idiot President

From the Chicago Sun Times: Vice President Joe Biden's weapon of choice for personal protection: a shotgun, he said yesterday during a forum on gun violence hosted by Facebook and Parents Magazine. "Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun," he said.
Biden also smacked down a questioner who said drug bans did not work, so why would a gun ban "be different," noting no one in the Obama team is suggesting a gun ban--and what's the alternative " we just legalize all drugs? .....That would go real well in Parents magazine."
Biden used a pragmatic approach in arguing for a ban on assault weapons and a limit on the number of bullets in magazine clips, aiming at those who say they need the firepower for self-defense: "You don't need an AR-15"--a semi-automatic rifle-- if there is a problem at home because "it's harder to aim, it's harder to use," he said.
Biden owns two shotguns at home--referring to his Delaware residence--and in taking a question during the forum said "if you want to protect yourself, get a double-barrel shotgun, have the shells -- a 12-gauge shotgun -- and I promise you -- as I told my wife -- we live in an area that's wooded and somewhat secluded.
"I said, Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out, put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house. I promise you: Whoever's coming in is not going to -- you don't need an AR-15. It's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and in fact, you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun."   http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2013/02/biden_get_a_double-barrel_shot.html
Who the hell is Biden to tell anyone how to protect themselves from intruders.
Further, are the Secret Service people who protect Biden using shotguns or are they using semi-automatic rifles and other high powered weapons?  What do the Secret Service use to protect President Obama?  Spit ball shooters?
So, if assault and semi-automatic rifles and hand guns are good enough for Obama and Biden, isn't it good enough for us peons?
