@Soldier1eaODGrn @SenBlumenthal none of these politicians know what they are talking about..they talk out of their rear end

As Twitchy reported, Republican legislators in Colorado this week introduced several bills intended to repeal restrictive gun control legislation passed in 2013, only to have each bill passed by the Senate and blocked by the House along straight party lines.
Today is #ThrowbackThursday on Twitter, and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) has also decided to pivot back to 2013, joined by other Connecticut politicians to introduce a new effort to ban high-capacity magazines under the #SayNo2MoreAmmo hashtag campaign.

Good to see that Rep. Diana Degette is back on board; she’s had two full years now to learn the difference between a clip, a magazine, and an “assault magazine.”

So what’s the point this time?
Even if we cannot stop all killers , we can make them less lethal– by banning high capacity magazines.

.@SenBlumenthal you should just ban killings… Oh wait.

@SenBlumenthal criminals DO NOT obey laws, which includes magazine limits #GunSense #2ndAmendment #DefendTheSecond

@SenBlumenthal Right, cause killers and criminals can't get black market mags. You know, just like they don't have guns.
— Mateo (@stfuworld) February 6, 2015
@SenBlumenthal Show me proof that banning high cap mags reduces crime, or did Bloomberg tell you that.

It’s like Degette told a senior citizen concerned about a home invasion scenario: “You’d probably be dead anyway.” She’d probably be better off leaving the gun talk to an expert like Blumenthal.
@SenBlumenthal Is this like the time you served in Vietnam? Or wait… you didn't, claimed you did, and got caught. http://t.co/7OP6xM0vyI

Let’s see who else is jumping back on this train.
This new bill would ban magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition and are designed for shooting en masse. #SayNo2MoreAmmo
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) February 5, 2015
Magazines that hold >10 rounds of ammo don't belong on our streets or in our schools. #gunsense #SayNo2MoreAmmo pic.twitter.com/jWSwjdNKrU
— Senator Bob Menendez (@SenatorMenendez) February 5, 2015
Limits on high capacity magazines will save lives. 11 kids escaped in Sandy Hook when magazine ran out. This matters. #SayNo2MoreAmmo
— Elizabeth Esty (@Elizabeth_Esty) February 5, 2015
High-capacity magazines do not belong on our streets. Period. #Gunsense will save lives. #SayNo2MoreAmmo
— Rep. Barbara Lee (@RepBarbaraLee) February 5, 2015
Congress should to listen to 90% of Americans who support #gunsense reforms & reinstate large-capacity magazine restrictions #SayNo2MoreAmmo
— Robin Kelly (@RepRobinKelly) February 5, 2015
We must #SayNo2MoreAmmo, ban high-capacity magazines, and stand up for #gunsense safety measures.
— Rep. Don Beyer (@RepDonBeyer) February 5, 2015
Proud to cosponsor legislation banning the sale of high-capacity magazines. #SayNo2MoreAmmo #gunsense
— Kathleen Rice (@RepKathleenRice) February 5, 2015
The American ppl don't think high-capacity magazines are needed in everyday life. Congress should back the public. #gunsense #SayNo2MoreAmmo
— Rep. Lois Frankel (@RepLoisFrankel) February 5, 2015
@RepLoisFrankel will the secret service be doing away with them as well? What about law enforcement?
