Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a bright idea to stop gun deaths in America: a ban on “semiautos.”
AOC’s proposal is undoubtedly inspired by a ban on semi-automatic weapons imposed by the government in New Zealand this week following a shooting at two mosques that left 50 kiwi dead.
It also exposes the freshman congresswoman from New York City’s very limited knowledge of firearms, and how they’re used to keep Americans safe.
AOC posted to Twitter Thursday in response to an article in the Indianapolis Star about a group of teachers who complained about getting shot with plastic ‘air soft’ pellets during recent active shooter training.
You know, instead of training children, teachers, houses of faith, & concertgoers to prep for being shot, we could just:
-Pass Universal Background checks (#HR8!)
-Disarm domestic abusers
-Mandate safe storage
-Ban bump stocks, semiautos, & high cap mags designed to kill people https://t.co/5SaLxEfYBT— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 22, 2019
