Warning: Graphic Decapitation Photo: VP Joe Biden's 12-Guage Shotgun

Last week, the second most powerful man in the world, United States Vice President Joe Biden, in an online interview, suggested getting rid of all of your unpractical 'AR' assault weapons.

To some, Biden's statement was akin to blasphemy. A statement which served only to further feed the monstrous egos and mental illnesses of the Rambo-type-gun-nuts who exist out there.

To other more-rational gun-owners however, the Veep's suggestion made perfect sense. 

The gun that VP Biden does endorse, for lack of a better word, is the one I would pick as the most practical of all hunting and protection weapons—and the one which is my personal all-time favorite.

If sawed-off, it's the wondrous holy-grail of all close-quarters scatter-guns—the almighty 12-gauge shotgun.

For an up-close and personal look at the damage a load of shot can do to the human cranium and the delicate brain matter beneath, look no further than the below photo of 21 year-old Matthew Anacleto Lucas Pereira.

Pereira, this past week, had the top of his head blown clean-off by rival drug dealers he was involved with near Maceió—the capital and the largest city in Alagoas, Brazil.

Bottom line: the 12-guage shotgun makes for the best home-protection on the market.

You can also use a 20 gauge, 16 gauge, or the lighter 4.10 gauge—which is a quarter of the size of it's heaviest big sister, the cannon-like 10-guage.

Whether you're killing sea-birds or up-land prey using "number six shot" or your shotgun is loaded with solid bullets called 'rifled-slugs' for killing big game, my suggestion is to keep a shotgun on hand or hidden under your bed at all times.
