Congresswoman Diana DeGette (D-CO)      

Co-Sponsor Of Bill Banning Magazines Demonstrates She Doesn't Know What They Are, Mistakes Them for Bullets

During the forum, she was asked about the efficacy of banning these kinds of magazines when there are tens of millions of them in circulation. Rep DeGette's response revealed a complete ignorance of the item which she is seeking to ban.

------------

"What's the efficacy of banning these magazine clips? I will tell you, these are ammunition, they're bullets, so the people who have those now, they're going to shoot them" says Rep DeGette. According to her, "the number of these high capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will be shot and there won't be any more available."

Mrs. DeGette, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I did not watch the video.
I was afraid that exposure to that level of ignorance would cause my IQ to drop.

The thing is, she is not an aberration.
She is a perfect example of those telling us what kind of guns we should or should not have.

Her not knowing is  not the worst  thing here.

Even if she were to realize she is working to write laws about something which she knows nothing about, she will still think she is doing the right thing rather than feel shamed by her ignorance and arrogance.

And that is the part that is scariest of all.

No it isn't.
This stupid bint will recreate others just like her.

It's been said that ignorance is a curable condition, but stupidity is fatal.
 
That may be true, but sometimes it takes too long.

And these are apparently the people we have chosen to lead us.

I weep for my country. And for my countrymen.


Sheesh.

One big problem is that there are people that will believe this crap and logic leaving them to believe that this a viable solution to "gun violence".  None of the state laws recently passed or proposed on the federal level will make a rat's butt difference in evil, but too many people out there are too lazy too educate themselves about guns, magazines, clips, ammunition, bullets, etc.
They are educated by sound bites.

She may not be that big of a dumb ass.  This just perpetuates a myth lie that passing nonsensical laws against responsible citizens will make a difference.  Remember tell lies and tell them often and the sheep will be believe it.

Yeah.... I guess the 'breeding factor' is frightening.

I get what you say.... and believe it is a tactic sometimes used by agenda-minded people in places of power.....
But after watching the video, I still claim it as plain ol' dumb-assedness.

That's my story....and I'm stickin' to it.

She's a real 'winner' this one:

DEM CONGRESSWOMAN MOCKS CONCERNED PRO-GUN SENIOR CITIZEN: ‘YOU’D PROBABLY BE DEAD ANYWAY’

During a public forum on national gun control legislation hosted by the Denver Post editorial board on Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Dianne DeGette (D-Colo.) mocked a concerned pro-gun senior citizen when he expressed his fears regarding how gun control will affect his ability to defend himself.

Among the scheduled panelists at the forum were DeGette, Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.), Republican state Sen. Kevin Lundberg, and Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith, according to the Denver Post.

“My question is: What about me?” the Denver citizen asked Rep. DeGette, arguing against limiting magazine capacity. “There may not be one bad guy that comes into my house… I have to change magazines? I am a serious disadvantage.”

“What about me?” he repeated.

After arrogantly smirking at his question, DeGette replied: “The good news for you, you live in Denver. The [Denver Police Department] would be there within minutes.”

“You’d probably be dead anyway if they had that kind of firepower,” she added.
