I may be a bit late to this party, but I was very surprised/interested to see a review (in the March 2014 issue of Shooting Times magazine) of the Stoeger Double Defense Over/Under 12 gauge shotgun. I was surprised because I didn’t know that Joe Biden’s ideas for home defense — “If you want to protect yourself, get a double-barrel shotgun” — had gotten the attention of the gun industry.
According to the editor of Shooting Times, “The old double gun served well as a home-defense tool on the prairies of the old frontier, and I see no reason why it can’t do so today.”
Here’s a video by Stoeger promoting the old double gun:

Hi David
I am not sure that is a real response to Biden’s comments. I remember Stoeger advertising this gun before 2008, but it was a side by side, not an over under then. It still had the picatiny rails and “tactic-cool” black.
In fact there is talk on the forums of it from back then too

oops I mistook that forum post for 208, its really 2010, but that is still some time before the Biden comments,
Although I do think you are right that gun manufacturers like to make products that are biting of their thumbs towards politicians.
