Why own an assault weapon, when a shotgun will do just fine?
That's what Vice President Joe Biden said during his Google+ "Fireside Hangout" on gun control Thursday, in response to a question about critics who feel that assault weapons will protect them in the aftermath of a natural disaster.
It's harder to use an assault weapon to hit something than it is a shotgun. So, if you want to keep people away in an earthquake, buy some shotgun shells.
Acting as the president's right-hand man when it comes to gun control, Biden's web conversation came a week after he and Barack Obama rolled out 23 executive actions -- on mental health, school safety, law enforcement and background checks -- that they hope will curb gun violence.
