Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee: ATF Has Been Keeping Us Safe Since 1886
Breitbart ^ | 03-23-2023 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 03/23/2023 10:51:50 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During Thursday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ (ATF’s) regulatory gun control push Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) claimed the ATF has been keeping us safe since 1886.

Jackson said she was “incredulous” that a hearing highlighting the ATF’s regulatory gun control push was being held.

She then claimed there have been “over a 100 mass shootings” already in 2023, but did not provide any substantiation of the claim. She also claimed there is “a constant range of gunfire across America,” including “on Sunday, when many people in America are seeking the solace of faith.”

Don’t most of the “mass shootings” in the US involve street gangs in Democrat run cities?

“a constant range of gunfire across America,”

I recognize English words, but I discern no meaning.

Remember, an AR-15 fires .50 caliber bullets, and "weighs as much as 10 boxes that you might be moving". Thus saith Sheila Jackson Lee.

The ATF did begin to undertake it’s “gun control” mission until the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968.

Lee is worse then a moron, because diagnosed morons are usually harmless. This imbecile is a voting member of Congress.

LOL

If we take all the funding that they received between 1886 and 1971, add that together, and triple it for the next budget cycle for their funding, I’ll feel a lot safer.

Democrats had the Presidency, the House of Representatives and the Senate and did nothing.

I'm just glad the ATF kept guns from shooting down Armstrong's rocket on his way to plant the American flag on Mars.


That giant suckin' sound ya hear is a brain sucker starving to death in Shelia Jackon Lee's skull.
