Top 10 Most Idiotic Anti-Gun Quotes from Politicians



These 10 idiotic anti-gun quotes uttered by our elected officials will
have you shaking your head and rolling your eyes.

Let’s get right to it. Here are the top 10 stupidest anti-gun quotes
from politicians.
10. “Well, you know, my shotgun will do better for you than your
AR-15, because you want to keep someone away from your house, just
fire the shotgun through the door.” – Joe Biden

Beat The End

If I declared that former Democrat Vice President Joe Biden has said
many dumb things you would accuse me of being redundant. Just google
“Joe Biden Stupid Anti-Gun Quotes” and see for yourself.

His statement here on shotguns versus AR-15s comes from a 2013 Field &
Stream interview, and is also just one of several eye-rolling gun
comments Biden has uttered.

Yes, if you hear someone making some noise at your front door, just
fire a shotgun blast or two through the door. You’ll either discourage
a home invasion or kill the pizza delivery guy.

I think Biden has gotten his gun acumen from watching too many movies.
9. ” Some of these bullets, as you saw, have an incendiary device on
the tip of it, which is a heat seeking device. So, you don’t shoot
deer with a bullet that size. If you do you could cook it at the same
time.” – Patricia Eddington

Former Democrat New York Assemblywoman Patricia Eddington apparently
thought that scientists had invented heat seeking bullets that would
be able to alter course and find their human target no matter where
you aim.

Ignoring her obvious misunderstanding of the Second Amendment (it’s
not about deer hunting), almost as ridiculous is her assertion that
you can cook a deer with the same bullet that brings it down.

8. “This is a ghost gun. This right here has the ability with a
.30-caliber clip to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second.
Thirty magazine clip in half a second.” – Kevin de Leon

This quote is an excerpt from a long and rambling diatribe of
mumbo-jumbo by California Democrat State Senator Kevin de Leon, in
which he does his best to discuss weapons that would fall under the
home manufactured gun ban legislation that de Leon was introducing at
the time.

His press conference has since been roundly ridiculed and lampooned
for his semi-coherent and wildly inaccurate characterizations of the
weapons he displays.

Kevin de Leon has since become the paradigm of the ill-informed,
reactionary, and silly anti-gun politician.

Here’s just one video that looks at de Leon’s presser in total and
offers some rather biting commentary.
7. “The Second Amendment only protects the people who want all the
guns they can have. The rest of us, we’ve got no Second Amendment.
What are we supposed to do?” – Louise Slaughter

AZ Quotes

Rep. Louise Slaughter is a New York Democrat and is the oldest
serving U.S. Congresswoman. You would think that someone who is as
advanced in age and has served as long as Slaughter would at least
understand that the Bill of Rights applies to all Americans.

The 13-term Representative made this head scratching comment during an
interview wherein she essentially blamed the Second Amendment for
violent crime and also declared that lawmakers “do the same thing with
guns that we do with drugs.”

Yeah, Louise, let’s just throw that old Constitution out the window.
After all, we all see how well the war on drugs is going. It’s truly a
wonder that this foolish woman keeps getting re-elected time after
time.
6. “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, 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

Huh? I have to admit; I am totally confused. But then obviously so is
Colorado Democrat Rep. Diana DeGette, who made this convoluted reply
during a 2013 Gun Control forum in Denver. She apparently believes
magazines (or “magazine clips”?) are the same as bullets, and that
there is a finite supply of them.

I almost feel sorry for DeGette. She is so completely ignorant of how
firearms work or anything to do with them. But this is a politician
who is sponsoring and supporting legislation that affects all of us,
so I don’t think it’s too much to demand that these foolish people at
least understand the basic function and operation of that which they
are passing laws on.
5. “Well, if it can fire a lot of bullets very quickly, that’s a good
definition… And then you can argue what a lot is, okay, let’s say
three. If you haven’t hit the deer with three shots, you’re a pretty
lousy shot, that deer deserves to get away.” – Michael Bloomberg

Michael Bloomberg, former Mayor of New York and current thorn in the
side of everyone who believes in the Constitution of the United
States, made this statement as part of a longer ignorant reply to
questions posed by Cynthia McFadden during an ABC News interview.

After clarifying that “a lot of bullets” means three, Bloomberg went
on to confuse fully automatic with semi-automatic firearms, and then
pivoted to 30-, 20- and 10-round magazines as defining a so-called
“assault rifle.”

Clearly Bloomberg doesn’t really know how firearms actually work, nor
what the Second Amendment was written for (again, it’s not about
hunting). For a man who spends as much money pushing his anti-liberty
agenda as Bloomberg does, he is woefully ignorant of firearms and the
Constitution.

Or perhaps he just doesn’t care, which would make more sense, given
that Bloomberg is an elitist who thinks that he knows best what is
right and proper for the citizenry, while he himself stands immune
from the laws that he would impose on the rest of us: the hypocritical
Bloomberg is well known for surrounding himself with armed security,
while he would prohibit law abiding citizens from arming themselves.
4. “We lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence.” – Terry
McAuliffe

Okay, so the Democrat Governor of Virginia misspoke. He didn’t really
mean 93 million Americans die every day from gun violence. That’s a
forgivable gaff. But even when he corrects his assertion (which he
said twice) to “93 people” killed each day, he is disingenuously
inflating that number and providing no context for it at all.
anti-gun quotes
The Federalist Papers

McAuliffe includes suicides, accidents, gang shootings, justifiable
police shootings, and defensive uses of guns in his number. If he were
honest, he would have to say that far fewer than 30 homicides with
guns occur each day. Of a national population of around 323-million,
that is a fraction of less than one-percent of the population.

Far more defensive uses of guns by law abiding citizens occur every
single day in America than homicides committed with firearms.
McAuliffe’s statement is just another example of the disingenuous lies
that gun control zealots are willing to spread to achieve their
agenda.
3. “…it’s a shoulder thing that goes up.” – Carolyn McCarthy

New York Democrat Rep. Carolyn McCarthy uttered what has become a
punchline for every joke about ignorant politicians and gun
legislation in America in a 2007 interview with Tucker Carlson.

One of the elements in her proposal to reauthorize the Federal Assault
Weapons Ban was a barrel shroud. When Carlson asked McCarthy
repeatedly if she could describe what a barrel shroud was, she finally
replied, “I actually don’t know what a barrel shroud is. I believe
it’s a shoulder thing that goes up.”

And these are the people we elect to pass laws…
2. “We have federal regulations and state laws that prohibit hunting
ducks with more than three rounds. And yet it’s legal to hunt humans
with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines.” – Dianne Feinstein

If there is a single politician who more fully embodies the rabid,
ignorant and reactionary picture of an anti-gun zealot, it is
California Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein. You’d be hard-pressed to
find someone who is as obsessed with gun control as Feinstein. She
talks about it and promotes it practically every chance she gets.

In fact, she is such an anti-liberty zealot, we could have had a top
10 list of ridiculous anti-gun quotes made up entirely of her own
pronouncements.

NOLA

Feistein made this hyperbolic comment supposedly alleging that hunting
humans is legal and has fewer restrictions than hunting ducks, during
a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun control. It’s a wonder she
wasn’t laughed out of the room.

But then some people apparently see Feinstein as a champion for sound
policy. After all, she also infamously said in 1994, in referring to
the federal assault weapons ban of the time, that if she “…could have
banned them all [all guns]…I would have!”

Dianne Feinstein is another politician who obviously knows what’s good
for you better than you do yourself.
1. “…it is easier for a 12- or 13-year-old to purchase a gun, and
cheaper, than it is for them to get a book.” – Barack Obama

And finally we come to the number-one most absurd anti-gun quote ever
uttered by a politician: Barack Obama’s 2016 claim that it’s easier
and cheaper for kids to buy a gun than it is for them to buy a book.

This isn’t number one because it’s the most egregious lie ever told by
an anti-gunner, but rather because it was told by the most powerful
person in the world, and because Obama may have been the person most
despised and yet heralded by gun owners and Second Amendment advocates
in the history of the United States.

Obama clearly was an anti-gun President and although he didn’t
accomplish much in a legislative way to further that agenda, he
certainly tried to.

But many would also say that Obama was responsible for the greatest
period of gun ownership the country has ever seen. More guns were sold
during the Obama tenure than at any time in U.S. history, largely
because of the fear that Obama and a Democrat congress always seemed
ready to enact some anti-gun legislation.

Obama was never challenged by the mainstream media for his outlandish
lies, exaggerations and omissions on the issue of gun control. This
silly quote was no different.
