Gun bill sponsor apparently doesn’t understand how guns work

Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette, the lead Democratic sponsor of a federal bill to ban high-capacity magazines, is apparently unaware that such magazines can be reloaded and reused, according to a comment she made at a Denver Post-sponsored forum on gun control on Tuesday.

When asked how limiting the number of bullets in magazines would help reduce violence, she replied: “I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those now, they’re going to shoot them. So if you ban them in the future, the number of these high-capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time, because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available.”

Some audience members laughed, but gun-rights advocates weren’t amused.

It’s imprortant not to do much thinking; it wears out the brain.

She Be Stupid. I call her a Stupidiot! The only ones dumber than she is the idiots that elected her to office.

The average brain of a man weighs over 11% more than an average woman’s brain. ;-)

As I commented on a gun board earlier today:

How do these people even continue to live, never mind get elected??? They don’t appear to have the brain power to remember to breathe, let alone form a cogent thought on the issues of the day.

Add her to the list of Congress-critters like the one that thought the island of Guam might tip over if too many people were there and the one from Houston that thought the Mars Rover might be able to take a trip over to where the American flag was planted by the astronauts.

Further proof that Liberalism is a cult religion completely devoid of logic and facts, and practiced by a large group of morons without any understanding of how the real world works.

This woman is a United States Congressman, chosen by her wacko party to carry the water for them on this issue. Ignorant people like this are running the country, and their ignorant minions in the press are helping them to do it. The system is working because all they have to do is to buy the votes of 51% of the population.

Will Colorado capsize if all the local rats run to one side of the Capitol building in Denver?

"...because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available.”

Did she just spill the beans on Nappy Napolitano and her Homeland "Security" organization?

"How do these people even continue to live, never mind get elected??? They don’t appear to have the brain power to remember to breathe, let alone form a cogent thought on the issues of the day."

They have lots of money and come from important families, so they don't need to exercise the muscles between their ears. ;-)
