What was that old say... oh yes. "Best to be thought of a fool then to open ones mouth and remove all doubt."
Rep. Diana DeGette has removed all doubt she is a fool.
Here's what she has to say about magazine bans.
Quote:
Asked how a ban on magazines holding more than 15 rounds would be effective in reducing gun violence, DeGette said:
“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.”
What she didn’t appear to understand is that a magazine can be reloaded with more bullets. According to the Shooter’s Log, only early on were magazines for AR-15s designed to be disposable, but the military changed that and now magazines are used several times. In handguns, a magazine is designed to be reused hundreds of times.

As lead sponsor in House on gun legislation, Rep. Diana DeGette appears to not understand how they work
Apparently, intelligence, knowledge, and education aren't necessary requirements to be a legislator of law in our country.
