An Examination of The Biden Defense with a Shotgun Wherever you stand on the political spectrum, the election of Joe Biden is bound to present some interesting challenges to the Second Amendment. It’s easy to draw this conclusion from reading his campaign website, where it was clearly outlined.

As his ascendency looms, it may be wise to reexamine those comments as a preview for what may lie ahead. I’m going to unpack Biden’s suggestions and examine them. Before you spit out your Black Rifle Coffee, I’ll warn you upfront, I actually agree with him on a couple of items but found other recommendations laughable.
