While engaging in a debate over gun control on Twitter, Chelsea Handler made an astounding claim about her armed security detail:
"My armed guards arent killing children and dont 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 dont kill children, but the notion that they dont 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, doesnt 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. Handlers 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.

Only the elite can protect themselves
“My armed guards arent killing children and dont have semi automatic weapons.”
Well I certainly hope they are not killing children, they should leave that up to you. But I can assure you that they are carrying semi-autos!
What's astounds me as much as anything is that she was dumb enough to let the world know this (if it's true, which I'm sure it's not). If I were a deranged fan (if I knew who Chelsea Handler actually was and why I should care), this is my invitation to jump her.
Okay, other than seeing her name on some books with cheesy covers/titles, I am still not sure what her claim to fame is other than being another loudmouthed, metro-area, secular Jewish American Princess with a penchant for recreational substance abuse, interracial sex and abortion. I could see her getting her hair pulled or face scratched by someone whose squeeze she boinked, but apart from that, why would she need bodyguards?
I have one of those.
“Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea”. Her first book was titled, “My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands”. ...
And we should listen to what that tramp has to say? She is one lost soul!
An M1 is a semi-auto rifle, also known as the Garand.
Holsters!???
More like a History lesson!
THANKS.
I have a Colt and Uberti Walker,
I think they can share a holster.

[snip] Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty... High ammonia content in this one. As "Muh Russia" evolves from Trump collusion to Trump apparently didn't do anything to holy sh*t it was actually the DNC that colluded with Russia, I humbly bring you this forgotten amber-hued gem from a few years back.

That's redundant AND repetitive...
What percentage of Americans have armed guards?
Ridiculous! Almost every single American is not so lucky, Manning. They can either defend themselves, hope no one EVER attacks them, cower in the corner and do whatever the thug says, or die.
And anyone wanting to do bad things to you have to first go up against your revolver-packing guards which is almost always going to deter them in the first place.
Maybe, just maybe, regular, law-abiding folks with semi-autos are also a deterrent, huh?
There are, if I understand correctly, semi-automatic pistols which (for safety reasons) merely recharge the firing chamber with a fresh round but do not cock the hammer.If so, the difference between such a semi-automatic and a revolver is - what?

Chelsea proving her moronhood day by day.

He probably meant Enfields.
Uh, yea they do... Unless they carry revolvers, (which I highly doubt) and in each case the end result is not much different in terms of being able to fire repeatedly, you can fire repeatedly without manually reloading a revolver, you are just leveraging the mechanical movement of the trigger to advance to the next round instead of the explosive gas from the previous rounds firing to do so.
Jason Biggs' wife videoed this? What kind of woman would stand for her husband doing such a thing, let alone videoing the behavior so that it could be shared? Never mind, I know.
Exactly.
It was grandpas’s military rifle WWI I guess. From above the mantle.
