Just as a reminder of what a “gun safety” expert President Biden is, I’ll start with a remember of this gem from back when he was the VP. This was from an interview with Field & Stream Magazine:
F&S:**_ What about the other uses, for self-defense and target practice?
V.P. BIDEN: Well, the way in which we measure it is–I think most scholars would say–is that as long as you have a weapon sufficient to be able to provide your self-defense. I did one of these town-hall meetings on the Internet and one guy said, “Well, what happens when the end days come? What happens when there’s the earthquake? I live in California, and I have to protect myself.”
I said, “Well, you know, my shotgun will do better for you than your AR-15, because you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door.” Most people can handle a shotgun a hell of a lot better than they can a semiautomatic weapon in terms of both their aim and in terms of their ability to deter people coming. We can argue whether that’s true or not, but it is no argument that, for example, a shotgun could do the same job of protecting you. Now, granted, you can come back and say, “Well, a machine gun could do a better job of protecting me.” No one’s arguing we should make machine guns legal.
Basically the lesson there is that Biden again proved that he has no idea what he’s talking about (and don’t let anybody take firearm safety lessons from him).
This week Biden was once again offering up his supreme expertise on guns and policing:

In reality, Mr. President, the former will accomplish the latter. But of course Biden’s referring to shooting to wound and not kill, which is not taught in any gun training course where Joe Biden isn’t the teacher.
Cops are literally trained to shoot to stop the threat. You stop by aiming center mass. There's no such thing as hitting arms and legs in a life or death situation. The only experience with firearms the people telling Biden to say this have probably comes from playing GTA.

Biden seems to think real life is like “Terminator II” when the Terminator was programmed to only shoot people in the legs and not kill them.
Another example that Biden doesn’t live in the real world came when he repeated many on the Left who have called to replace police in some situations with psychologists:

What could possibly go wrong?
I struggled to find my phone as my head was getting bashed in. Bloody and dizzy, I locked myself into my closet and dialed 9-1-1. As my locked door was being kicked in, I said to the dispatch, “No, no police. Send Frasier Crane.” https://t.co/dh3IhgMKE7

Domestic violence calls are some of the most dangerous and commonly take a violent turn when police arrive. These psychologists better be armed and trained. Oh wait…then they’d be police officers. 🤔 https://t.co/QMt1Krir1r

The amount of cluelessness in that Biden video is off the charts.
This is the same logic that the defund the police movement uses, what Biden and Democrats claim they don’t support. 🙄

So the crowd laughed too. Glad I wasn’t the only one.

The unintentional hilarity would be a lot funnier if the person saying these things wasn’t in the most powerful office in the world.
This from the guy who told us he would stand on his balcony with a double-barrel shotgun and fire two warning shots. https://t.co/v8yLUZkjEB

Yep, that’s what Biden once said. And then you’d be standing there with an empty shotgun. Genius!
