Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: 'AR-15s Are as Heavy as 10 Boxes That You Might Be Moving

Low IQ Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (TX) said on Monday that AR-15s should be banned because they weigh a lot (they don’t) and that they fire .50 caliber rounds.

This Democrat dolt wants to legislate firearms.

AR-15s weigh between 7-9 pounds, not ’10 boxes you may be moving’ and they do not take .50 caliber bullets.

“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,” Sheila Jackson Lee said.

“…claiming an AR-15 shoots .50 caliber bullets is as asinine as saying your car runs on orange juice.”

For my non-gun peeps, claiming an AR-15 shoots .50 caliber bullets is as asinine as saying your car runs on orange juice.

Also, an AR-15 generally weighs somewhere between 7-9 pounds. So if 10 of your moving boxes weight 9 pounds, you're really doing it wrong.
