Virginia Delegate Embarrasses Himself With His Definition of an 'Assault Weapon'

"Mass shooters don't like things that go like this," Levine gestured again. "Because what that means is someone can hit the edge of the heads...it's very hard to shoot a lot people fast that way."

Levine said mass shooters "like to use guns that go like this," and gestured in a sweeping motion while using a pistol grip: "And guns that go like this are widely inaccurate, that's why hunters don't like them, but mass shooters do like them because their goal is generally not to accurately shoot one person, like an assassin, but to shoot many, many people fast."

Hmmmm. Pretty sure no democommie is ever embarrassed. Ever. It may have helped him had he shown a picture of a select fire weapon. You know the one that depicts: "NO PEW!", "PEW!" and "PEW, PEW PEW!" In order for his colleagues to understand better.

He is an embarrassment and a waste of sperm!

Rats have no shame and are never embarrassed.

“And guns that go like this are widely inaccurate, that’s why hunters don’t like them, but mass shooters do like them because their goal is generally not to accurately shoot one person, like an assassin, but to shoot many, many people fast.”

Is that why the police have them?

How many people have been killed by full automatic weapons in mass shootings?

Take a wild guess how many rifle homicides occurred in Maryland in 2018 per FBI crime stats?

If you guess ONE, you’d be correct. One.

He couldn’t mime the move needed to hit the floor with a handful of grapes, because, y’know, he couldn’t hit the floor with a handful of grapes.

“Levine asserted that the best weapon for home defense is a shotgun because of its dispersion.”These are rifles. You use them to shoot an animal and you can shoot very precisely...you can have a scope. Those are the kinds of thing hunters like to use.””

And the next two steps once ‘assault weapons’ are outlawed will be to ban shotguns and scoped rifles.
Shotguns designed to spray lead across a school yard.
And scoped rifles because they are sniper weapons designed to kill at a distance.

This moron also has an anti-gerrymander bill which will use computers run by democrats and their appointed “civilians” to guarantee democrats carry all 11 congressional districts.

"How many people have been killed by full automatic weapons in mass shootings?"

It's been a while since I saw the statistics, but back then, the TOTAL number of civilian deaths with full-auto long guns was <10. And a couple of those were done by cops with duty weapons.

[DPMD]

If it’s a weapon and it’s used to assault others...

[Rebelbase]

"Levine asserted that the best weapon for home defense is a shotgun because of its dispersion."

Nice to know he has no reservations about a Saiga with a 50 round drum mag.

“He is an embarrassment and a waste of sperm!”

The best part of him ran down his mamas leg.

[Kickass Conservative]

Remember, Pistols have Pistol Grips. Just sayin’...

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Even better, how many people in the US have been killed by a fixed bayonet since 1900? How many killed by folding stocks or flash suppressors?
Are you more likely to be killed by a rifle with a pistol grip or straight grip.

+10000!! ;-)
