On Monday, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, the Texas Democrat once dubbed a Congressional boss from Hell, made a couple of unbelievably ignorant and outright false claims regarding AR-15 style weapons. For starters, she suggested the weapons are extremely heavy (they aren’t) and then claimed they fire a .50 caliber bullet (they don’t).
“I held an AR-15 in my hand, I wish I hadn’t. It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving. And the bullet that is utilized, a .50 caliber, these kinds of bullets need to be licensed and do not need to be on the street,” she said.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Howerton wasn’t finished shredding the ignorant Texas Democrat:

Howerton has a point here. Indeed, her ignorance of the subject is astounding. If she really held an AR-15, she would know that it really doesn’t weigh as much as she claimed. But the know-nothings on the left won’t care, and it’s doubtful anyone in the Democrat-media complex will ever correct her.
Howerton also shredded her claim that an AR-15 fires a .50 caliber round:

As AWR Hawkins correctly notes, “an AR-15 shoots a .22 caliber round either chambered in .223 or 5.56.”
Yeah… “Basically the same…”
