I'm not sure what makes me more angry: Biden's terrible advice or people giving women shotguns and little to no instructions and then filming the not-so-funny results.  It doesn't help anyone--it likely turns them away from shooting sports.

Yeah not funny at all I've been a little afraid of shooting a shotgun myself for that very same reason.  I'd rather fire a 60 cal machine gun before a shotgun anyday.  At least I'm familar with one from the military and it didn't hurt my shoulder or made me almost shoot myself or someone else.

The obvious points of the video are:

1) Bieden knows NOTHING about how easy it is for smaller people to shoot 12 gauge shotguns,
2) An untrained person can shoot an AR-15 much easier, and shoot more accurately than with a shotgun,
and...
3)  Make sure your pants are securely fastened before you shoot a shotgun.

Thank God that last person shooting was not shooting commando style !

The only thing funny about that video, iswho the American people have for a VP, and that is more sad than funny, so I guess there is nothing funny about it.

O, the interviewers voice, thats funny!

shoulder fire 60 caliber ???   If they existed I think we'd all be afraid to shoot one.....  Hope you meant M60 or .50 Cal   :)

Yes I meant an M60 or even a .50 cal I was tired last night LOL.  I just remember shooting it in basic training and the big smile I had on my face after I was done shooting it.

Rambo Couldn't do it

Hulk might not be able too stand holding an M2 .50 cal very long
There is a very good reason they use teams of 3 or more to carry those around.

And even if you could hold it and fire at the same time You'd end up looking like some of those women shooting shotguns for the first time in that Video.  :o

The M60 7.62mm is a diffrent story ...but then they only issued those to some of the bigger squad members (and even they had helpers to carry the extra barrels and ammo)  :laugh:

Oh I know I was sarcastically saying that I could probably hold an M60 or .50 cal but that's about it.  I was saying it cause it's just as ludicrous as the VP saying to all women to pick up a 12 gauge double barrel shotgun and shoot it.

Don't take this as an endorsement of Joey B.

I have witnessed tiny little junior high girls and boys shooting 12ga trap handicap loads all day, and scoring better at ATA trap than me whilst doing so

I just kept hoping and praying that those numbnuts only jacked one round in the chamber for the ladies.  If somebody got their face shot off with the second round, it would have been karma biting them in the ass.

I think the moral of the video should be that if you find yourself considering taking meaningful advice from Joe Biden about anything, you should definitely avoid firearms, motor vehicles, power tools, kitchen appliances, automatic doors, ..... aw hell... maybe it's just best to limit yourself to using only things made  of  Nerf material and that are at minimum larger than the opening of your mouth. ;D
