D.C. Propagandist Has Thoughts On Banning 'Weapons Of War': 'It's About Protecting You'

Don't you just love it when some know-nothing Democrat shill comes forward and regurgitates their uninformed propaganda all over your feed? Well, we do, it's how we make a living. Ally Sammarco, formerly associated with the Democrat Party of Virginia, did just that, and it's as ignorant as you would expect. First off, let's just acknowledge that a very similar situation literally did occur not far in the past, and it only took FIFTEEN SECONDS to take down the perpetrator. Remember Elisjsha Dicken at the Greenwood Mall in Indiana? He used his handgun to take down a would-be mass murderer armed with a rifle. Pepperidge Farms remembers, and you bet your bottom that we here at Twitchy do, too. Then she stupidly doubles down: “For those who need to hear this: You aren’t special. You aren’t going to be the hero who saves everyone. You literally would not be able to defend yourself.”

A standard pistol is perfectly capable of being used to defend against someone with an AR-15. They're both semiautomatic weapons so they function essentially the same way, i.e. one round is fired per trigger pull. And the rifle is not exactly a heavy caliber weapon, so standard ammunition for a handgun will suffice. Shoot, some states even prohibit the use of an AR-15 for hunting because it's not powerful enough to cleanly bring down larger game like deer. Now, not that it will do Ally any good, but X users were quick to jump in and try to educate her ignorance … or just mock it. All that 'military-style' means is that the weapon cosmetically resembles the rifles that the miitary uses. Cosmetic appearance is vastly different than function. Ally seems to frivolously believe that banning the AR-15 means a bad guy won't still walk into a bowling alley armed and wearing a bulletproof vest hellbent on achieving infamy.

“All weapons are weapons of war. The military issues knives and bayonets. It used to issue swords and muskets. If you saw what happened in Israel and still think citizens should be disarmed, you are beyond hope.” -- It is pretty tone deaf these days to float the idea of disarming citizens, but lefties aren't typically the brightest bulbs in the box. Government cannot and does not protect the individual. We are responsible for our own protection and self defense. And we aren't giving up a dang thing. The answer is 'NO'. Let the coping and seething continue.
