Trump Campaign Press Release - Bingo! Biden Backs Gun Control, Has No Clue How Guns Work?

Joe Biden is pushing for drastic new gun control, but regularly botches basic facts about the guns he wants to restrict

Key Takeaways:

• One year ago today, Biden said "bingo!" when asked if "a Biden administration means they're going to come for my guns"
  
• However, Biden doesn't even know how guns work, constantly misusing firearm terminology when asserting the need for gun control
  
  • Biden has taken credit for banning "the number of clips in a gun" and "eliminating magazines with multiple rounds," asked why anyone needs "100 clips… in a weapon," and said we should not sell "magazines with 100 clips"
    
• Biden has repeatedly given bizarre, unsafe, and potentially illegal advice on how to use a firearm to protect your home
  
  • In February 2013, Biden said he told his wife to fire a double barrel shotgun out of the window to ward of intruders
    
  • Biden told Field & Stream Magazine that Americans could fire a shotgun through the door to keep possible intruders away from their homes
    
  • In Biden's home state it is illegal to use deadly force if there is no imminent fear of losing your life, and shooting a gun in the air could result in felony charges
    
• Earlier this year, Biden has said law enforcement should try to shoot knife-wielding criminals "in the leg," a move that was criticized by police as impractical and out of touch
  
  • The National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) criticized Biden's statement, saying his comments were "indecipherable" and "misleading to the point of being deceitful"
    
  • Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association President Larry Cosme said Biden was "not living in the real world"
