Sheila Jackson Lee Talks AR-15s, Makes a Complete Fool of Herself

We all know that Democrats know nothing about guns, or in fact most things they want to regulate and control.

That is doubly true when it comes to AR-15s, or any form of semi-automatic weapon.

That said, while Democrats are mostly ignorant about guns, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is the queen of the ignorant Democrats.

Watch as she tries to talk about AR-15s and makes a complete fool of herself:

“I held an AR-15 in my hand, I wish I hadn’t. It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving. And the bullet that is utilized, a .50 caliber, these kinds of bullets need to be licensed and do not need to be on the street.” – Rep. @JacksonLeeTX18 pic.twitter.com/U71ir6BHZH

Jackson-Lee introduced a bill to regulate so called “assault rifles” and claimed that “my bill that I’ve introduced dealing with the caliber weapon, I held an AR-15 in my hand, I wish I hadn’t. It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving. And the bullet that is utilized, a .50 caliber, these kinds of bullets need to be licensed and do not need to be on the street.”

Now that is a special kind of ignorant, but it’s scary because she has the power to regulate things she doesn’t even understand.

As you might expect Jackson-Lee got roasted on Twitter for her ignorance:

“THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WANT LEGISLATE FIREARMS. They know nothing. To say the ignorance is astounding and terrifying is an understatement. Is it ignorance? Or is it malevolence? I have a hard time believing someone who WRITES LAWS could be this misinformed. Unreal.”

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WANT LEGISLATE FIREARMS. They know nothing. To say the ignorance is astounding and terrifying is an understatement.

Is it ignorance? Or is it malevolence? I have a hard time believing someone who WRITES LAWS could be this misinformed.

Unreal.

“For my non-gun peeps, claiming an AR-15 shoots .50 caliber bullets is as asinine as saying your car runs on orange juice. Also, an AR-15 generally weighs somewhere between 7-9 pounds. So if 10 of your moving boxes weight 9 pounds, you’re really doing it wrong.”

“10 boxes, .50 caliber. 😂 Won’t be long till an AR-15 weighs the same as a million billion suns and shoots exploding chainsaw laser sharks.”

This is why no one should ever listen to a Democrat about guns or gun control until they can prove they know something about the subject.

Sheila Jackson Lee is a gift that keeps on giving, to the Republican party!
