I guess it’s that time again. Clue-deprived Democrats are vying for the title of “Most Likely to Stick Foot in Mouth” on the issue of “assault weapons.” Today’s candidates for this dubious honor are Butthead O’Rourke, who has decided that his loss to Ted Cruz in Texas despite loads of outside money and a half-assed effort to counter him on the part of the Cruz campaign translates well into a presidential run, and Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy, who lies so hard on gun control, that even the Washington Post had to give him three Pinocchios on his claims.
First up is Butthead, whose lack of knowledge on guns is only rivaled by my lack of knowledge on astrophysics. Butthead decided that he would demonstrate his complete ignorance on the AR-15 by claiming that 1) it’s a weapon of war (that’s used in no military anywhere) and 2) you, peon, don’t need it. Apparently, Butthead thinks that to stand out among the clown car of Democrats running for the presidential nomination, he needs to be extra stupid.
Beto O'Rourke: "If you own an AR-15, keep it. Continue to use it responsibly and safely. I just don't think that we need to sell anymore weapons of war into this public."

He could have just stopped at “I don’t think,” but he’s just not that smart, so instead he makes some incredibly stupid claims, including the ole “blow a hole in your back the size of an orange” whopper that even Snopes had a hard time spinning!
This is a photo a friend of mine posted last year, showing the actual holes an AR-15 made. Snopes used the photo in its fact check, which I appreciate, because the hysterical claims meant to bolster support for an “assault weapons” ban were getting ridiculous.
Just to make sure, I also texted a friend of mine after a conversation with one of my son’s fraternity brothers, who also made some ridiculous claims about these rifles. No matter what you may think about Ted Nugent as an ally in the battle for our Second Amendment rights – and he’s certainly been controversial over the years – you can’t deny that Ted is knowledgeable about hunting and about firearms writ large.
I had asked the question to confirm after I saw Remington .223 ammunition for sale at a sports store labeled “varmint ammunition,” and since the AR-15 is commonly chambered for this ammo, I wanted to get Ted’s take, because testosterone-head frat boys are unlikely to listen to moms, but they will listen to irreverent rock stars.
Butthead proceeds to magnanimously tell us that if we own an AR-15, we can keep it and use it responsibly and safely, but he doesn’t think we need to sell any more of these evil “weapons of war” to any more people.
Gosh – thanks, dad!
And screw you! You are not qualified to gauge my need to buy this firearm or to sell it to anyone I want, especially given your complete ignorance on the topic and lack of knowledge about the basic functions of this gun! It’s my property, penis wrinkle. Try again.
Second Democrat in the gallery is Chris Murphy, who can’t possibly keep from making claims about guns that are such utter horseshit, that even the liberal media can’t spin them as true – no matter how hard they try.
Nobody needs an AR-15 to hunt.
Nobody needs a semi-automatic rifle to defend their home.
But mass shooters NEED these weapons in order to murder as many people as efficiently as possible.
And so nobody will miss them when they are illegal - except for the killers.

Gee, aren’t you glad Murphy and other Democrats exists in the world to tell you what you need or don’t need?
Murphy is right that unless you’re hunting rabbits, no one needs an AR-15 to hunt. See Ted’s reply to me above.
That said, no one needs light, maneuverable, affordable rifle to defend their home? Really?
I bet this Philadelphia couple was happy that there was an AR-15 handy when a drugged-out gremlin forced his way into their home.
I bet this teenager was relieved to have an AR-15 with which to defend himself after three slime bags invaded his home and one of them pulled a gun.
The engaged the violent murderer in Sutherland Springs also used his own AR-15. Will Murphy claim that only killers will miss these firearms?
In other words, Chris Murphy and his fellow Democrats are buffoons, and we don’t need him telling us what we need, what kind of tools we should use to defend our homes and our families, and what we should or should not be allowed to purchase – especially when he has a record of abject ignorance and outright false statements on the issue.
Democrats are not qualified to tell me what I need or don’t need to defend my home and family.
They are elected to represent the people, not to be the arbiters of their needs, especially when they have privileges the rest of us don’t, such as armed security and safe neighborhoods.
