Jackson Lee: There Was ‘Seismic Increase of Carnage Across America Using Automatic Weapons’ after Assault Weapons Ban Expired
breitbart.com ^ | 5/31/2022 | Ian Hantchett

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.”

Probably not much chance of this being classified as MISINFORMATION is there. Nope. About as much chance as the 9mm blowing your lungs clean out of your body line of 🐂💩

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.

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.

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.

I don't think the colored neighborhoods have noticed. Every week, the same story, the same violence, "assault" ban or not. It seems to me that the people living in those neighborhoods don't pay attention to Jackson Lee.

Too bad they allow that retard Jackon Lee to remain in Congress. Few people aspire to her level of incompetence or stupidity.

“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.
