(3,001 posts)My opinion.
Its as if they are the only people qualified to comment on observable statistical facts regarding gun legislation.
Gun owners and gun violence victims and ammosexuals seem to be the only "qualified" persons to make policy or commentary on the subject of gun regulation.
Imo.
Is she a great legislator and powerful voice? YES! My comment was nor regarding the congresswoman specifically.

(3,001 posts)It seems to hand them the narrative that the only "qualified" people who can engage in gun regulation discussions and/or legislation are gun owners - and the more guns the more "qualified".
It's not just gun owners getting shot.

As was said Someone who is as inexperienced shouldn't be allowed to serve on such a prestigious and revered committee. But she is & it's embarrassing

(60,375 posts)Why do sharp intellects like Crockett get 10% of the news coverage of flamboyant, embarrassing ignorants like MTG and BooBoo?
I remember the epic introduction to The News Room, where Will McAvoy comlains that previously, we didn't feel threatened by intelligence, it didn't make us feel inferior.

(133,674 posts)people with intelligence, with brains and competence, particularly females, were/are derided, insulted, even secretly feared. On the other hand, my friends and I admire really smart, competent, educated (including self-taught) people, know that we can learn from them, expand our own learning and knowledge.

(20,974 posts)When compared to Boobert.
"I own guns too! Democrats own guns!" The words "Own guns" and "common sense regulations" in the same sentence IS NOT part of Boobert's thinking at all. Jasimine Crockett is superb in pointing that out.
Crockett is a rock star to Boobert's being an IDIOT!

(6,597 posts)It's truly mind-boggling that a large number of people vote for immoral, self-serving imbeciles like Boebert.
