“I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those know 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.” - Diana DeGette

Sadly, there are lots of examples over the past few years.

Those are good (bad?) examples. Maybe we need a contest and vote for dumbest gun quote.

The problem is that the prosecutors only aggressively pursue gun charges against law abiding citizens.

THIS

And all he had to do to make his statement less stupid and offensive is add the word "illegally"

"[Illegally]Carrying a loaded firearm is the gateway crime to committing a murder."

OR

"Carrying an [illegal] firearm is the gateway crime to committing a murder."

Still not ideal and Id still question the statement, but as is its egregiously stupid and insulting (likely purposely so, based on the source).
