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.”

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!
