Wasserman Schultz "without bullets a gun is just a hunk of useless metal"

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz wants a federal law that would require background checks for people who buy ammunition.
“I really think it’s important to underscore that without bullets a gun is just a hunk of useless metal, and a would-be killer lacks the means to actually kill or maim,” she said Monday.
By itself, the proposal wouldn’t have prevented high-profile shootings: the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, in which 17 people were killed and 17 wounded; the Oct. 1 shooting that killed 58 in Las Vegas; or the Jan. 6, 2017, shooting at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in which five people were killed and six wounded.
“You do not have the right to bear bullets,” Wasserman Schultz said at a news conference at the Pembroke Pines Police Department, where she was joined by political leaders, a police representative and teachers and students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Mei-Ling Ho-Shing, a Stoneman Douglas junior, praised the proposal. “If we can attack the bullets, we can stop how many people who can get shot with high-capacity magazines,” she said.

Without bullets a gun is almost as useless as she is.

They key word in that phrase being "almost"
And whatever happened to the investigation involving her IT guy and everything surrounding that? Nothing

How dare you degrade a gun like that?

Has she never heard of anybody being pistol whipped? You can kill with many inanimate objects.

Hey. Let’s ban ink and microphones. Without ink a press is just a useless piece of metal. And without a microphone a person can only speak to those who can hear them.

Did she say anything about Seth Rich?

Without authorities putting someone's actions on record the background check would have done nothing for what happened.
And she is dumb.
These folks have been attacking ammo for a long time. Trying to make it so folks cannot make their own.

How about a background check on the guys she hires to do IT work?

Unfortunately, this will ultimately be how they "win" at the gun control issue. They will go after the ammo.

They would like to separate those items but not happening.
The Right to bear arms is just what it says. not an unloaded arms.

Anyone who does not fully believe that liberalism is a mental disorder should be deemed mentally ill themselves.
