It is typical for the anti-gunner left to use victims of gun violence -
particularly kids who lose their lives in school shootings - to push for more
restrictions on firearms. However, Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) decided to think
outside of the box and used a different group of people as pawns: Veterans.

In a post on X, Hirono pointed out that "Around 4,600 veterans die by firearm
suicide every year" and announced her plan to "introduce the Large Capacity
Ammunition Feeding Device Act" in the next Congress.

Um.

Let's say a veteran decides to take his own life.
Let's say a veteran decides to use an AR-15.
Let's say a veteran uses a 20-- no-- a 30 round magazine.
How many times is the veteran going to pull the trigger?

 Suicides take 1 bullet.

Pretending that veterans are taking their lives because they own magazines that
can carry more than ten rounds is absurd on its face. But it is also dangerous
because it distracts from the real problem: Mental health.

Democrats are just vying for first place in the "Who Can Introduce the
Dumbest Legislation" contest
