Biden: "Shoot them in the leg"

Remember as a kid, the old cowboy movies where the good guy would face a bad guy with a gun and rather than shooting at the guy's mass, the good guy would shoot the gun out of the miscreant's hand? In the movie business that is known as make believe because nobody with more than two brain neurons to rub together would shoot at the nasty gun, rather than the nasty guy who was about to kill you with it.

Enter Joe Biden, an actual human who probably doesn't know which end of the gun where the bullets fire out from.

On Thursday, Biden once again contended that police should try to shoot dangerous suspects in the leg as a form of de-escalation.

"You have to teach people how to de-escalate circumstances. De-escalate," Biden said during an ABC News town hall. "So, instead of anybody coming at you and the first thing you do is shoot to kill, you shoot them in the leg."

Really, he said that. He also thinks it's a good idea to scare off intruders by firing two shotgun blasts in the air. Aside from it being illegal to fire a gun in the air, it's really extremely stupid, especially if it's a double-barrel shotgun and you've emptied it at the clouds. But that's another story.

Gun-safety and police training experts blasted Biden's "wisdom" when he first made the stupid comment at a campaign event in June. They explained that the idea of using a firearm to de-escalate a situation, or use non-lethal force when your own life is being threatened, is dangerous.

Rob Pincus told the Free Beacon in June, "Legs move. It's much harder to hit a smaller moving target than it is to hit the chest."

Pincus trains cops all throughout the country and Europe. "From a technical shooting skill standpoint, from a technical legal standpoint, it's not where we want to go at all," he said.

Joe Biden is running for President on the Democratic ticket. A vote for him is a vote for a stupid America.
