DeGette spokeswoman doubles down on congresswoman’s ignorance

Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette, a lead sponsor of the federal ban on personal defense-capacity magazines showed a Denver Post forum she doesn’t have a clue as to what it is she wants to ban, and the “clarifying” statement made by her spokeswoman served to confirm the ignorance of both women.

“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,” DeGette claimed when asked how a ban would help reduce violence committed with firearms.

“Oh no my car is out of gas! I better buy a new gas tank!” commentator “ParkerGuy” posted under the article, wittily illustrating the level of what should be criminal ignorance under

But here if you put a bullit in the braincase it just rattles like a rock in a tin can.

This inexcusable incomprehension of the basics illustrates not just arrogant incompetence, and what, in any other profession would be actionable malpractice, but also bigotry, which, rooted in ignorance, manifests itself in fear and hatred.

Codrea said it as well as I could have done.

I didn’t put the bullet in the furnace and stop talking about my mama.

It is nice to see them line up all of the campaign material to be used against them.

Talk about a “Rocky Mountain High”.

[La Lydia]

Well, she does represent Boulder, which is the Squish-Head Capital of the Rocky Mountain West.

“The Congresswoman has been working on a high-capacity assault magazine ban for years, and has been deeply involved in the issue,” Juliet Johnson said. “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.

Sorry, but clips can be reused. I used to it all the time, but these days I am not shooting much 5.56.

For the uninitiated, stripper clips are used to load magazine. Clips used to be inexpensive, available and disposable. That is no longer the case, so a little effort and pliers are used to extend their lives.

Yep, my dad has like five or six cd’s of Cosby’s performances. Laff’d like I’d never stop.

I would be curious to see the average IQ of Congress. I suspect it is somewhat south of 70, the point of legal retardation.

[willibeaux]

No! She represents Denver. The homo Polis represents Boulder

[SWAMPSNIPER]

There is no way the idiot can talk her way out, she still doesn’t really understand her error.

Yep! Her head should be the first on the list!
