"I'm the guy who wrote the original assault weapons ban." -Joe Biden-
I'm sorry but the gun owner was an absolute IDIOT
So just because he used some silly nomenclature, means he's an enemy of the second amendment?
There is a time and place for statements such as he made, and that is not it.
Anyone who makes gun owners look like fools is, in my opinion, an enemy of gun rights.
Let me put it in another context. Lets say that someone owns a nice sports car and loves to drive. This person certainly enjoys the freedom he has to own and drive a vehicle.
Lets then say that this person goes out all the time and get speeding tickets?
Would you not call this a person an enemy of those who drive responsibly? Both he and I love to drive, but I do it responsibly.
Just because a person enjoys their freedom, does not mean they are exercising it in a proper manner. If you're going to go on the record and make statements supporting gun rights, why do it in an immature manner.

I'd consider that he's probably much safer on the roads than the average joe schmoe who speeds excessively in his economy car, because at least this person has a sports car that was designed to travel at such high speeds. Speeding is not necessarily irresponsible, just illegal. Big difference.
This is my sense of that video, it may be wrong but it's the impression I got. He was doing ok up to the "are my babies safe" line. Then he whips out an M-16 ( Yes I am fully aware that it was an AR-15 but to the general anti/ neutral public that was an M-16. And to a bunch of them M-16 = machine gun) then the comment about "This is my baby" sounded just a little creepy and threatening to me and I'm a gun owner. Then the comment about how he bought it under the ban, we know what he meant but how many antis/ neutrals did? How many anti/neutrals saw that clip and walked away thinking that guy had an illegal machine gun?
That was not a good thing.

So you're saying that doing something illegal (though possibly not irresponsible) is a good way to make a particular interest group look good in the oppositions eyes?
General Geoff,

I'm all for breaking a law if it denies me my basic human rights, but that is no way to further your cause.
