Would be poetic justice if the people touting the conspiracy theories on this or Sandy Hook have a convention and are the next victims.
I'm not wishing for it. I'm saying that IF there is a convention of people who tout this junk and IF there is to be another mass shooting like this, then it would be poetic justice if that was where it happened. It's called karma.
No, it is not. There is plenty of blame to go around.
It obviously will not be me....or you.....coming up with the numbers.
Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette has been the lead sponsor on a federal ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines in two Congresses, saying its one of her top priorities.
But Tuesday at a Denver Post forum on the gun control debate, the senior congresswoman from Denver appeared to not understand how guns work.
Asked how a ban on magazines holding more than 15 rounds would be effective in reducing gun violence, DeGette said:
I will tell you these are ammunition, theyre bullets, so the people who have those know theyre 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 wont be any more available.
What she didnt appear to understand is that a magazine can be reloaded with more bullets. According to the Shooters Log, only early on were magazines for AR-15s designed to be disposable, but the military changed that and now magazines are used several times. In handguns, a magazine is designed to be reused hundreds of times.
Why would I, who acknowledges that these incidents is rare, want people who are so weak minded that they believe the nutty claims that they did not, to also die? Makes no sense.
I want them the Lord to bless them tonight with some compassion. And a few dozen more IQ points.
At the risk of being tarred and feathered for saying something positive about Trump, I think this open forum hes having right now has been very good. I think hes done a great job of communicating with the people in the audience. He seems open to listening to a lot of perspectives.
Ok Ive beat him over the head about 10 times now on the fallacy of this argument as compared to any repeating firearm. Somebody else tap in please.
Edit: nah Ive got it. Luther X=700 and Y=60. Take that back to your base and debate it. 👍
