A .44 is excessive; Biden might not be strong enough to fire it safely.
A .357 would do.
wasnt the hypothetical along the lines of the president ordering a military unit to assassinate a rival? If one wanted to really invoke that, Biden wouldnt need to fire a gun at all, just have some tough looking and visibly armed soldier stand just offstage and stare menacingly
He could even say something like, "Won't someone rid me of this me of this meddlesome jackass?"
Not even a visible person, just a couple of red laser pointers aimed from a secure location.
Or they could have the debate on the middle of 5th Avenue in NYC and Biden could just make the finger guns at Trump every time Trump is speaking.
The finger guns scene from The Losers comes to mind.
You mean like the finger gun scene in Expendables 2?

Jesus Christ, do you want to see Trump splattered? We all know a 9mm will blow the lungs out, that should be plenty. That or a trusty shotgun, obviously, which we all know sends bad guys running just by loading the thing.
Fuck that. Point a .44 at him and say, "go ahead, make my day," like Dirty Harry.
