Thomas Massie Gives Thanks For Democrats Ignorance On Guns

DC:

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky expressed his gratitude on Tuesday for Democrats’ lack of firearm knowledge when it comes to crafting gun laws.

“Let’s be thankful [Democrats] are pandering to emotion instead of logic when they do try to advance anti-gun legislation,” Massie told The Daily Caller News Foundation at a banquet celebrating ten years since the U.S. Supreme Court came down with its landmark decision in District of Columbia vs. Heller.

“Honestly, I’m glad they’re not [knowledgeable] because their gun bans would be more detrimental to our right to keep and bear arms,” he continued. “For instance, when they passed the 1994 so-called Assault Weapons Ban, they banned them based on cosmetics and not functionality or lethality and I’m thankful for that.”

Massie, a staunch supporter of individuals’ right of self-defense, has been a champion of pro-gun legislation in Congress. He introduced D.C. concealed carry reciprocity legislation immediately following the shooting at a congressional baseball game practice in 2017 where four people were injured, including Majority Whip Steve Scalise. The bill still has almost 100 co-sponsors. If had been allowed at the time, the politicians could have been armed and able to fight back against the shooter.
