  • By Selwyn Duke Okay, half-slow laughin’ Joe didn’t actually say that, but he might as well have. While defending his position a week ago that banning the rifles incorrectly called “assault weapons” won’t negatively impact upon Americans’ safety, he pointed out that you shouldn’t trouble yourself: shotguns would still be available — and they’re more…
