On Monday, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, the Texas Democrat once dubbed a Congressional boss from Hell, made a couple of unbelievably ignorant and outright false claims regarding AR-15 style weapons. For starters, she suggested the weapons are extremely heavy (they aren’t) and then claimed they fire a .50 caliber bullet (they don’t).
“I 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,” she said.

Howerton wasn’t finished shredding the ignorant Texas Democrat:
For my non-gun peeps, claiming an AR-15 shoots .50 caliber bullets is as asinine as saying your car runs on orange juice.
Also, an AR-15 generally weighs somewhere between 7-9 pounds. So if 10 of your moving boxes weight 9 pounds, you're really doing it wrong.

Howerton has a point here. Indeed, her ignorance of the subject is astounding. If she really held an AR-15, she would know that it really doesn’t weigh as much as she claimed. But the know-nothings on the left won’t care, and it’s doubtful anyone in the Democrat-media complex will ever correct her.
Howerton also shredded her claim that an AR-15 fires a .50 caliber round:
you can see how she got it wrong though. Basically the same. pic.twitter.com/MxSKB0X5cT

As AWR Hawkins correctly notes, “an AR-15 shoots a .22 caliber round either chambered in .223 or 5.56.”
Yeah… “Basically the same…”
