Please, for the love of all things precious to you and your family, do not listen to Joe Biden when it comes to using firearms to defend yourself. His advice is dangerous both physically and legally.

Nearly a decade has passed since the public first learned of the botched Obama-era gunwalking scandal Operation Fast and Furious. These days, Barack Obama spends his time collecting money from a lucrative Netflix contract, shuffling between lavish homes in Washington, D.C. and on Martha's Vineyard, and occasionally offering his tepid support for presumptive democratic presidential nominee Joe...
