Sheila Jackson Lee
Jackson Lee said, “I've held an AR-15 in my hand, I wish I hadn’t, it is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving and the bullet that is utilized, a .50 caliber, these kinds of bullets, need to be licensed and do not need to be on the street.” Everything about that is wrong (nothing new for Sheila): an AR weighs about 6.5 lbs. not the 100 lbs. she implies, the standard AR-15 bullet is .223 caliber, a very small hunting round. And .50 caliber bullets don't require licensing, nor should they.

Conclusion
This is the usual leftist rant: proving she's a fool, a liar, or both.
Which raises the question, "Should we have the most ignorant, or most dishonest, writing/passing our gun laws?" If you answer "yes", you can be ignored. If you answer "no", then it demonstrates the problem that shooters have with gun controllers like Sheila.
