By the way, here's the spokesperson's comment:

Quote:
DeGette’s spokeswoman Juliet Johnson issued a statement Wednesday, saying the congresswoman mispoke.

“The Congresswoman has been working on a high-capacity assault magazine ban for years, and has been deeply involved in the issue; she simply misspoke in referring to ‘magazines’ when she should have referred to ‘clips,’ which cannot be reused because they don’t have a feeding mechanism,” Johnson said. “Quite frankly, this is just another example of opponents of common-sense gun violence prevention trying to manipulate the facts to distract from the critical issue of keeping our children safe and keeping killing machines out of the hands of disturbed individuals. It’s more political gamesmanship that stands in the way of responsible solutions.”
So what she wants to ban is the evil 30-round en bloc clips, or is she talking about 30-round stripper clips? And will they be restricted somehow so you can't fill them up with cartridges again?

The spokesperson is obviously just as clueless as the congresswoman.
