Woman Biden Told to ‘Buy a Shotgun’ Calls His Advice ‘Sexist’

(funny when a lib does this 'it's all about content' when a conservative says it it's how the receiver of the statement is offended)

The female questioner who prompted Joe Biden’s advice, in the course of a Facebook town hall on Tuesday, to “buy a shotgun,” called the vice president’s remarks “a little sexist” and described them as “the poorest advice he could give anyone.” Kate Ernest told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly that because a double-barreled shotgun only has two rounds, anyone who followed Biden’s advice would be “a sitting duck” after firing both rounds. Biden told Ernest that he had advised his wife, Jill, to “fire two blasts outside the house” in the event of danger.

“I think it was poor advice, and it comes off a little sexist,” Ernest added. “Like, ‘Let me tell you what you need’ versus, you know, ‘Arm yourself or protect yourself in a way that you feel necessary.’”

Biden, who owns a shotgun, has repeatedly insisted that the weapon is more useful for the purpose of self-defense than an assault rifle such as the AR-15.
