It’s hard to know whether Biden meant that he owns two shotguns or just one. In either case, based on political science Professor Mark Joslyn’s new book, The Gun Gap, simply owning a gun says something about Biden’s politics.
As a gun owner, Biden’s made a choice, a choice that seems to matter a lot for other citizens, especially when they make that choice several times and own multiple guns. Owning several guns may indicate something about what a person believes, but also what they may start to believe and do in the future.
