While engaging in a debate over gun control on Twitter, Chelsea Handler made an astounding claim about her armed security detail:
"My armed guards aren’t killing children and don’t have semi automatic weapons."
Of course, it is not astounding that the former E! Channel, former Netflix and apparently future NBC talk show host has armed security guards who don’t kill children, but the notion that they don’t carry handguns that discharge spent cartridges and load a round of ammunition automatically on each trigger pull is dumbfounding and impossible to believe.
Either Handler has employed armed security personnel who employ questionable defensive tactics or Ms. Handler, an outspoken proponent of gun control laws, doesn’t have a fundamental understanding of the weapons she advocates to regulate.
This squares with a recent poll that suggests that a majority (63%) of Americans want to ban semi-automatic weapons. However, there are two problems with the much-ballyhooed poll.
The first problem is the question. Registered voters were asked if they “banning the sale and ownership of all semi-automatic and automatic firearms.” Of course, automatic weapons are already illegal in most cases and lumping them in with semi-automatic is quite problematic if ones goal is to really understand if the American people favor such a drastic gun control measure.
And the second problem is that the poll never properly defines what a semi-automatic weapon is. And as is proven by Ms. Handler’s remarkable statement about her security guards, most Americans (including media figures) have a lamentable lack of fundamental understanding of the very thing they passionately want to restrict.

She’s been told her guards are armed only with water pistols and she believed them. Plus she doesn’t know the difference.
She probably thinks that only rifles are semi-auto or something.
The revolver verses semiauto is a Ford against Chevy windmill tilt to me. The increased advent of concealed carry has caused more people to carry more now than years ago. My wife’s model 19 S&W stubby is a nice gun. She carry’s it in a belt holster while horse riding in the hills. I’ve carried it in an IWB holster it it wasn’t comfortable and printed thourgh my clothes. A J frame S&W with heavy loads is a wrist punisher as is the ruger sp101 and the small charter arms guns.
I believe the more people carrying concealed and really concerned with keeping printing from showing while doing so has pushed up the sale of the latest single stack pistols. They are easy to conceal and handle nicely. The Walther PPS is a good example. Just my thoughts.
In her dreams she would need an armed guard! She’s a garbage truck not a Brinks truck
Im very sure the Secret service carries semi auto’s.
How about you completely disarm your guards, looney lib freak? And, how about you move out of that gated home/area that you live in?
Freaking hypocrites.
So her armed guards all have revolvers? Kind of old school, but ok.
What an idiot. I don’t know of any good security guys who routinely carry a revolver. Will she fire them when she finds out they do have semi autos?
>>>A revolver is a semi automatic weapon.
It fires as fast as you pull the trigger until it needs reloading<<<
A Double Action Revolver, not a Single Action Revolver.
>>>She’s been told her guards are armed only with water pistols and she believed them<<<
Based on the Video from a few weeks ago where some guy was Pissing in her face, you might be right. NSFW

Cap and ball revolvers? Is that what Chelsea’s guards carry?

“Good luck with the revolvers Beotch!”
My magnum with 6 3/4” barrel can ‘reach out and touch you’!
Old .38 cal. pistols are no match for a semi-automatic handgun. Cheslea - you’d better learn to duck down quickly or run like hell if someone tries to pull a John Lennon on you.
Otherwise, let you bodyguards carry something that is appropriate, and I don’t mean a Starbucks lotte.
A thought on her statement about a semiauto. The way the left screws up things. You could say a 1911 isn’t semiauto until you cock the hammer. First round is single action. Does pulling both triggers on a double barrel shotgun make it full auto?
My money is on the guess that she’s an idiot. And depraved.

But, SHE would know a bottle of vodka or a black rapper's penis if they hit her on the head....
Poor fool...
What an utterly disgusting woman.
I’m sure the ignorant bimbo’s security detail carries Single-Action Revolvers.
