Outrageous!… Dem Rep. Degette Mocks Senior Citizen – Says “You’d Probably Be Dead Anyway” if Confronted by Armed Criminals

On Tuesday night The Denver Post editorial board hosts a public forum on gun legislation at the national level. U.S. Reps. Diana DeGette and Ed Perlmutter, State Sen. Kevin Lundberg, and Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith are among the scheduled panelists. During the question and answer period a concerned Denver citizen asked Democratic Representative DeGette how he was supposed to defend himself under the new Colorado gun laws. DeGette smirked and mocked the senior citizen saying, “The good news for you, you live in Denver. The Denver PD would be there within minutes. (laughing) You’d probably be dead anyway.”

The sad thing is, she will continue to be elected. I don't understand it, I really don't.

It's called Denver and Saudi Aurora.  They've had ONE Republican from that district in the last 65 years, and he served exactly one term.

She's saying that ones your hi-cap mags are out of ammo, they're no longer useful. Kinda like those .22 caliber cap strips for a carpenter's nail gun, I guess.

It really easy. Liberals view this attitude as righteous. It goes hand in hand with the Prog attitude that they are so far above us they cannot possibly be wrong.............ever.

Silly bitch, guns are for true Americans.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

It gets worse:

Quote
“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,” Johnson said.

Gun-Banning Congresswoman Thinks High-Cap Magazines are Disposable

Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) is the chief co-sponsor, with Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), of the High Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act, which would ban the sale or transfer of magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds...she said banning what she calls "assault magazines" would "go a long way toward making our country safe."

"What's the efficacy of banning these magazine clips? I will tell you these are ammunition, they're bullets, so the people who have those now, they're going to shoot them. And 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."
These are the people who write our laws.  :thatsright:


Do not worry though, apparently she just misspoke.
Quote
A spokeswoman issued a statement to the Denver Post, which had flagged the comment as inaccurate, explaining that the congresswoman who has worked on a high-capacity magazine ban for years "simply misspoke" -- "she should have referred to 'clips,' which cannot be reused because they don't have a feeding mechanism."

This is a prime example of proof that the libs are just trying to ban guns because it's what the libs do.

The reason I say this is because almost anyone with a legitimate concern about guns would do just a little bit of research before taking action and would not have a statement out there full of so much fail.
“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

The way I understand it, she is in an ironclad (D) district.  The Republicans don't even bother running a candidate.
