CA Lawmaker Mocked After After Finding “Semi-Automatic” Glock Packaging — For BB Gun
23rd May 2021
Read it.
In a now-deleted tweet, California Assemblyman David Chiu dramatically posted: “Finding the discarded packaging of a semi-automatic on a leisurely weekend walk was disturbing, particularly during this month’s surge of gun violence in San Francisco.”
Except… if David had maybe looked at the packaging, he would have noticed it’s for a .177 caliber C02 powered BB gun.
I remember the Eddie Murphy movie THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN that tried to take a shot at ‘gun nuts’ by having Congressmen being hosted by corporate lobbyists on a duck hunt — using AR-15s. I suppose they were trying to point out that semi-auto rifles were not genuine hunting weapons and therefore weren’t legitimate for civilian ownership, but they just pointed out how clueless they were about hunting and gun use in general.
Personally, if I knew of anybody who could down duck on the wing with an AR-15, I’d treat him with the greatest of respect.
