Leftist's Utter Ignorance on Guns Becomes Clear When he Points to Plastic Part and Describes Magical Properties

Rep. David Cicilline, a Rhode Island Democrat, repeatedly mischaracterized an AR-15 stabilizing arm brace as a “bump stock” that turns the gun into an “automatic weapon” in Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on 🔫Guns, showing that he has no clue what he is trying to ban and for what reason.

Cicilline sponsored the 🐴Democrats’ “assault weapons” ban, which passed through the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday night.

During the July 20 hearing, Cicilline held up a placard showing a photo of an AR-15-style pistol system with an arm brace attached to a shooter’s arm, showing how the brace would be used by a gun owner.

The brace, which was highlighted in yellow and marked “Stabilizing brace” on the Congressman’s card, is intended to help someone with mobility issues to fire the weapon with one hand instead of two.

The question over the arm brace arose when a Republican amendment introduced by GOP Rep. Michelle Fischbach of Minnesota to the Democrat’s “assault weapons ban” bill was offered to exclude the arm brace from the list of banned items.

The Republicans pointed out that the brace was intended to help disabled Americans exercise their 🔫Second Amendment rights by using technology to help them stabilize the weapon if they are physically unable to do so if they are missing a hand, for instance, or have muscle strength issues.
