While appearing on CNN Thursday, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., said she wants to ban a gun accessory that doesn’t exist, the Daily Caller reported.
She started by saying that “military-style weapons” — an apparent reference to the AR-15 — should only be available to the military and not civilians, and then pivoted to talk about magazines, Amber Athey said.
Congress, she said, should be “making sure that we don’t have high-capacity, rapid-fire magazines that allow mass killing and whose primary purpose is to achieve that.”
“That’s gonna stop this problem,” she claimed.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Of course, there’s no such thing as a “rapid-fire magazine,” but facts don’t seem to matter to the anti-gun left.
Twitter mercilessly mocked Wasserman Schultz for her crazy claim.
In case this isn't clear, there's no such thing as a "rapid-fire magazine." The magazine has no affect on the rate of fire.

Good question. As we reported earlier, a retired general actually referred to something called “full semi-automatic” rate of fire…
Do these delusional sub-logical leftistdem idiots know anything about weapons. Once again they make absurd remarks about guns! https://t.co/jd9i28mc3Z

No, they don’t know anything about these weapons, but they sure do want to ban them…

Congresswomen who have no knowledge of guns should not be allowed to vote on gun legislation.https://t.co/onkBfYHHI0

Good point.
Several Twitter users wanted to know if CNN corrected her:

No.

Twitchy noted:
It’d be one thing if this were just Debbie Wasserman Schultz babbling incoherently to herself. But CNN’s giving her a platform to spread her B.S. And there are people out there who will actually believe it.
Sad, but true.
And if that's not scary sounding enough wait until she mentions the nuclear-powered chainsaw bayonet attachment! https://t.co/xpKgbYFSZm

Indeed… But this is what we have making laws today.
