A Democratic Virginia legislator’s complete lack of firearms knowledge was on full display when he stopped by a town hall meeting to speak about his push to ban “assault weapons” (video below).
According to Virginia Delegate Mark Levine, the factor that sets “assault weapons” apart from “hunting rifles” lies in “how you hold the gun.”
During a town hall meeting at the Mount Vernon Community School on Jan. 25, Levine also took aim at “high-capacity magazines,” which he claimed become “red-hot” when they are seated into a weapon that’s being actively fired. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
