I thought I recognized the name Carolyn McCarthy. She was the Rep. who wanted to reinstate the assault weapons ban and was interviewed by Tucker Carlson.
taken from Wikipedia:
"On the April 18, 2007, episode of MSNBC's program Tucker, Tucker Carlson interviewed McCarthy about the Virginia Tech massacre and her proposed reauthorization of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. He asked her to explain the need to regulate barrel shrouds, one of the many provisions included in her bill. She did not directly answer, but responded that what was more important was that the legislation would ban large capacity "clips" (sic) of the type used in the Virginia Tech massacre and that the class of guns chosen prohibited by the law were those used by gangs and killers of police officers. The Virginia Tech shooter did not have high capacity magazines; they were the AWB compliant 10 round variety.[citation needed] When Carlson pressed her twice more on the question about barrel shrouds, she finally admitted that she did not know what a barrel shroud was, and said (incorrectly): "I believe it is a shoulder thing that goes up."[17] The error received negative attention from the conservative media."
I find it frightening that our representatives can introduce bills to ban things they know absolutely nothing about.
