Here is another Onion-worthy story -- this time, it's VP Joe Biden's turn:
Vice President Joe Biden said on Friday he was “shooting for Tuesday” to get President Barack Obama his recommendations on how to battle an epidemic of gun violence and warned “there’s no silver bullet” to stop the killing.
Biden was meeting in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House with executives from video game companies whose products have often been blamed for making players insensitive to real-world violence.
This is hilarious:
"I come to this meeting with no judgment. You all know the judgment other people have made," Biden said.
Why, Biden just the other day met with the NRA and other groups at the White House. The NRA came away unconvinced of the VP's neutrality on the issue:
The gun rights group said: 'We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment.
'While claiming that no policy proposals would be "prejudged", this Task Force spent most of its time on proposed restrictions on lawful firearms owners -- honest, taxpaying, hardworking Americans.
'It is unfortunate that this administration continues to insist on pushing failed solutions to our nation's most pressing problems. We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen.'
