She has explained why she is so ill informed: "As I have learned in two decades of work on gun violence prevention issues, the gun lobby takes every opportunity to intimidate, and attempt to silence, anyone who stands up to fight to make our families safer," DeGette wrote. "They have done it for decades, and this week, as I continued my pursuit of common-sense gun violence prevention, I found myself in their sights." It's the gun lobby's fault!! I should have known. And picker, when you make a statement that is THAT far from reality, you shouldn't be voting on ANYTHING that will effect the lives of others. If she wants to simply say guns are bad, then fine, that's her choice but then don't keep talking because that eliminates any semblance of intelligence. I'd bet, if she was voting on whether Obamacare should cover abortions and she voted "No" stating that giving birth will remove the baby naturally, you'd agree she should be in government. THAT'S the problem ladies and gentlemen, that's the problem.
