Wow just wow. If everybody had such a fatalistic view of life and self defense, then why bother arming the police and military? We should all just lay down and die.

Exactly. The citizens in this country are worse than the politicians they elect. Take a look at who's president, and then try to convince me that the majority of American's are intelligent, hard-working, and don't feel entitled to anything.

It is, in that vacuum bubble they call the white house. It's a whole other dimension; rules and reality do not apply.

This is a poignant statement...
Thank you, Zoog.

If they are introducing legislation that is certainly clearer in banning specific things
than they even know how to describe items themselves, who is really controlling them?1 old 0311-1

What these people said.
The key word in "representatives" is "representative".

And those same politicians have created a new health care system, and in order to study and understand it in a way that would not have its passage at risk, they First had to enact it into law.
This wisdom was shared with us by former House Speaker Pelosi.
How could anybody suggest that they don't understand the much simpler gun components?

Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) on her ammo magazine ban:
"I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those now they’re 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 won’t be any more available."
Clarification by DeGette spokeswoman Juliet Johnson:
"The Congresswoman has been working on a high-capacity assault magazine ban for years, and has been deeply involved in the issue; she simply misspoke in referring to ‘magazines’ when she should have referred to ‘clips,' which cannot be reused because they don’t have a feeding mechanism. Quite frankly, this is just another example of opponents of common-sense gun violence prevention trying to manipulate the facts to distract from the critical issue of keeping our children safe and keeping killing machines out of the hands of disturbed individuals. It’s more political gamesmanship that stands in the way of responsible solutions."
These are the people who are smarter and better than us, and we should just shut up and allow them in their infinitely superior intellect and morality dictate to us lesser beings. Like all self appointed Ubermensch, they don't know horsemanure from applebutter, but they will make our breakfast and have it shoved down our throats by their jack-booted stormtroopers. The "clarification" is a classic example of self-righteous political rhetoric that is just more ignorance and obfuscation.

I wonder if she has an aide that walks by and reminds her to breathe occasionally?:%

The sad part is when they are doing it regarding topics we know less details about we don't catch it.
They do this stuff all the time on a variety of issues.
The clarification was clearly an attempt to lie for damage control.
Which is unfortunately also normal.
Working on a project for 5 years and don't know the details of something that consists of body, floor plate, spring, and follower (and perhaps feed lips)?
It is not a complicated item. We are not even talking about most of the firearm action.
You supposedly work on legislation dealing with a box with a spring in it for 5 years and don't even know it is not ammunition that is depleted? More like tow someone else's agenda for 5 years.
Then the stripper clip lie? People do reuse those, they are rare, not targeted by legislation, not even restricted in capacity in California, and the majority in use are under 10 rounds already.
She certainly did not mean stripper clips. That attempt at damage control is such a blatant lie, but meant to confuse those that don't know better and give them an object to look up and agree with.
Then they add in the whole for the children, and stop playing political games by bringing attention to me not even knowing what I am talking about.
It was not some accidental slip. She could have been banning ammunition for all she knew, and apparently thought she was.
That should probably scare people even more. She thought she was banning ammunition and was going to sponsor the legislation and make it happen.
Of course now she will have been taught what to say next time to give an appareance of knowing what she is talking about.

This is proof that we let to much of the public vote.
There should be a standard.
She isn't the problem, the people that voted for her are.

In her defense and her colleague's also, I understand that the shoulder things that go up are, in fact, disposable, and once used disappear from the planet.
But where do they go?

You'll be happy to know that even CNN is ripping her for this. This was discussed pretty extensively on OutFront tonight. Erin Burnett was out, and I don't know the name of the anchor who subbed for her, but he and a couple of his panelists bashed DeGette fairly hard.

Are you suggesting that there should be a national registry of voters or people who can publish books or letter to the editor or post on internet forums and then certain people should be disqualified for certain characteristics? Similar to how we disqualify certain people from owning firearms?
