Obama Reveals He Doesn’t Know What An Automatic Rifle Is In Speech

AUTHOR Bookworm

Back in 1994, when Congress first passed an “Assault Weapon” ban, the internet was in its infancy. That meant that there was no way for Second Amendment, gun rights supporters to expose to the world the appalling ignorance that underlay this sweeping legislation. Perhaps that was all for the good, as it enabled both gun owners and manufacturers to circumvent (with increased costs and inconvenience) the Bill’s more stupid cosmetic provisions.
Following Sandy Hook, gun grabbers are again showing their complete willingness to use whatever power they have to deprive Americans of a core Constitutional right. Barack Obama has made it clear that he thinks a legislative majority trumps the Second Amendment (note to constitutional scholar/president: that’s not how it works) and he’s done everything possible to weaken gun rights. All over America, gun grabbers are speaking up.
But here’s the thing: Even as they rush to grab our guns, the internet allows us to expose their ignorance. Thanks to the internet, we know that a United States Representative from Colorado, Rep. Diana DeGette, actually thinks that gun magazines are disposed after use, not simply reloaded. The NRA’s Colion Noir schools her on that one:
We also learned yesterday that Barack Obama, who is leading the gun control charge, doesn’t understand the difference between automatic guns (one pull of the trigger = lots of bullets) and semi-automatic guns (one pull of the trigger = one bullet, with the next in line automatically chambered).
In a speech the President gave in San Francisco, to a fundraising audience who almost certainly doesn’t know anything about guns either, Obama said:

Now, over the next couple of months, we’ve got a couple of issues: gun control. (Applause.) I just came from Denver, where the issue of gun violence is something that has haunted families for way too long, and it is possible for us to create common-sense gun safety measures that respect the traditions of gun ownership in this country and hunters and sportsmen, but also make sure that we don’t have another 20 children in a classroom gunned down by a semiautomatic weapon – by a fully automatic weapon in that case, sadly. (Emphasis added.)

Obama’s not alone. As noted above, Rep. DeGette dreams of single use magazines, while Sen. Dianne Feinstein lives in a magical world where bullets “implode.” It’s bad enough that they’re going after our guns. What’s worse is that they’re total ignoramuses going after our guns. We can only hope that, should Democrats manage to pass gun grabbing legislation, whatever they put into law is so stupidly drafted it’s either ineffective or cannot stand up to even minimal judicial scrutiny.
