On Tuesday’s broadcast of “MSNBC Prime,” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) stated that “we saw the seismic increase of carnage across America using automatic weapons” after the Assault Weapons Ban Act expired in 2004 and she thinks that there is support “for a seven-day waiting period for even purchasing an assault weapon if necessary. Because there are other automatic weapons as well.”
Jackson Lee said, “I have committed, over the years, having introduced bills dealing with the ban on assault weapons post-2004, as you well know, Ayman, that’s when it ended. And we saw the seismic increase of carnage across America using automatic weapons. And in the instance of Buffalo and the instance of Uvalde, having gone there on Sunday, meeting with and just listening to the sheer desperation of families and children. That was an AR-15 as well.”
She added, “I know that we have the ability to gather the votes for an assault weapons ban. It’s moving. Concerns of yesteryear or three years ago are not there today. We believe, and in fact, I think there is a great deal of support that I found in Uvalde, for a seven-day waiting period for even purchasing an assault weapon if necessary. Because there are other automatic weapons as well. So, there’s a gathering around recognizing that assault weapons kill. They killed 19 children and two teachers.”

Or a 9mm being high powered. Unless of course, you are talking about the Browning High Power ;)
The astronauts were shooting machine guns on mars 🤪
Is she talking about Mars again?
An AR 14 is not an automatic weapon, Shirley. The kind sold in the USA to civilians are semi-automatic weapons. Therefore, its easy to tell that you don’t know what you’re talking about. That being the case, I suggest it best that you STFU.
**Shiela**
They are not automatic weapons, they are not weapons of war and they do not kill the most people in our country. Your people do ! Please get your facts straight , shut up and go away.
🤣😆
Even a revolver is kinda like an automatic if you have a strong and fast index finger
Misinformation? More like a damned lie.
Was the murderer at Uvalde high?
Uh, 15? There was an AR-14 but was never in production:

About the 2:55 mark in the video. Mini-14 by Ruger which some people have.
The biggest idiot in Congress even with AOC there.
Shirley, you can’t be serious.
And guess who will be back in Jan 2023 for another term of money raking.........
Liar.
I noticed why have they started omitting that part?
Too much brand recognision?
“The biggest idiot in Congress even with AOC there.”
No, that distinction has to go to Hank Johnson of Guam capsizing fame. But Jackson Lee is a runner-up.
