Things\nwent downhill from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI believe there will have to be an emergence of members of\nthe House flooding the United States Senate for Senator McConnell to understand\nthat these initiatives today, my gun storage bill, my bill that I&#8217;ve introduced\ndealing with the caliber weapon, I&#8217;ve held an AR-15 in my hand, I wish I had\nit,\u201d she said, raising her arms as if to hold a rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving and the\nbullet that is utilized, a .50-caliber, these kinds of bullets need to be\nlicensed and do not need to be on the street,\u201d Jackson Lee claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/washington-post-cory-booker-three-pinocchios-toy-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"texas-democrat-ar-15s-fire-50-caliber-bullets-10-boxes\" title=\"Texas Democrat Claims AR-15s Fire '50-Caliber' Bullets, Weigh as Much as '10 Boxes'\">Washington Post Gives Cory Booker Three Pinocchio\u2019s for Saying Toy Guns Face More Regs than Real Guns<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most AR-15s, of course, do not shoot .50-caliber projectiles. While certain AR-pattern rifles shoot half-inch pills, the vast majority are chambered for the much smaller 5.56\/.223.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jackson Lee didn\u2019t explain how a rifle\u2019s weight adds to its\nlethality. Most would argue that lighter rifles are easier to handle, and thus,\nmore dangerous. But Jackson Lee appears convinced that the fact that an AR-15\nweighs as much as \u201c10 boxes that you might be moving\u201d justifies its\nconfiscation, and she continued her rambling statements without being questioned\nby the press surrounding her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her description of an AR-15 has received much of the pro-gun\nmedia attention, but several of her later statements are (believe it or not)\neven more ridiculous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/double-barrel-magazine-extended-clips-former-lapd-sergeant-reveals-extreme-ignorance-on-guns-and-gun-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"texas-democrat-ar-15s-fire-50-caliber-bullets-10-boxes\" title=\"Texas Democrat Claims AR-15s Fire '50-Caliber' Bullets, Weigh as Much as '10 Boxes'\">\u2018Double-Barrel Magazine Extended Clips?\u2019 Former LAPD Sergeant Reveals Extreme Ignorance on Guns and Gun Laws<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just the Taliban coming for the United States. It\u2019s\na domestic crisis. It\u2019s toxic,\u201d she said, describing the recent spate of mass\nmurders. \u201cI don\u2019t think we can be a war zone. And the legislation today has to\npass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likening isolated mass murderers to an international\nterrorist organization is akin to likening a .223 to a .50 BMG cartridge. And the\nU.S. soldiers who have been fighting those terrorists might take exception to\nher comparison between Odessa, Texas, and Afghanistan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ironically, Jackson Lee\u2019s ignorance of the rifles she wants to ban might make her legislation less effective than she hopes. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Her bill (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.govtrack.us\/congress\/bills\/116\/hr4081\/text\/ih\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"texas-democrat-ar-15s-fire-50-caliber-bullets-10-boxes\" title=\"Texas Democrat Claims AR-15s Fire '50-Caliber' Bullets, Weigh as Much as '10 Boxes'\" target=\"_blank\">Her bill<\/a> only bans the possession of ammunition that is \u201c.50-caliber or greater.\u201d Based on Jackson Lee&#8217;s comments, one wonders if she believes her bill will ban the type of ammunition used in AR-15s and significantly restrict their use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s her intention, she\u2019s in for a surprise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee to the list of anti-gun politicians who have no blessed idea what they\u2019re talking about.
