Who: Vice President Biden
What: Biden claimed the only weapon anyone needs for self-defense is a double-barrel shotgun.
Why it’s dim: Following Biden’s advice to scare off potential attackers by firing off two rounds would empty the gun and make it useless.
Cure: Know how to responsibly defend yourself, with or without a gun. And don’t empty your gun scaring off attackers.
