God these people are terrifying in both their stupidity and their willingness to destroy the Constitution.

"Centralized power can be dangerous. Fools in power are doubly so. Dolts at the helm of centralized power is cause for concern and a reason to stock-up on ammo."

These people are not just ignorant, they are *proud* of their ignorance.

They look down on people who actually know something about firearms or the Constitution.

After all, only certified government employees are supposed to know anything about those things.

Degette has been a communist wart on CO for a long time.

Here is a Youtube link to this moron's vacuity.

US Rep Diana Degette ABSURDLY claims high cap mags can only be used one time!

Here is Degette's stupidity reported by the Denver Post...

As lead sponsor in House on gun legislation, Rep. Diana DeGette appears to not understand how they work

“The Congresswoman has been working on a high-capacity assault magazine ban for years, and has been deeply involved in the issue; she simply misspoke in referring to ‘magazines’ when she should have referred to ‘clips,’ which cannot be reused because they don’t have a feeding mechanism,” [Spokeswoman] Johnson said.

Maybe someone can help me here: has there ever been a "clip" with more than 10 rounds? The one for the M-1 Garand has 8 rounds.

The stupid people are in charge

Perhaps her comment referring to bullets “There won’t be any more available” refers to the government stockpile of bullets and is a Freudian slip?
Just a thought, but her wording struck me as odd.

[Political Junkie Too]

“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 … 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.”

Let's face it. She meant the bullets themselves.

That said, there are two things at play here. 1) she may be referring to the bogus excuse from Janet Incompetano regarding buying up all the bullets to keep them from the public, and B) Democrats are trying to separate "ammo" from "arms" as regards the 2nd amendment.

In truth, ammunition is a part of the definition of arms. It is just as unconstitutional to infringe on the right to by ammunition as it is to buy the discharge device that goes with it.

I hate to say it, but it is dangerous to educate these people too much. Bill Ruger educated them about “high capacity” magazines, which is where we got the push to ban them.

If they really knew what they were doing, we would be in far more trouble.

I do *not* want to go into specifics.
