The problem with so many gun control advocates is not their ignorance per se, as ignorance can be cured by study. The problem is their amazing proud ignorance, as if actually bothering to learn the basics of how the firearms they seek to ban operate would somehow sully the purity of their morally superior soul.
Such seems to be the case with Minneapolis’s Democrat mayor Jacob Frey: “Minneapolis Mayor Warns Of “Assault Rifles That Can Reel Off 30 Clips In Conjunction With A Magazine.”

If he had merely confused a clip with a magazine, one could understand, as they both feed rounds of ammunition to the gun, and sometimes you see that confusion in popular culture. But no magazine in the history of firearms ever let a gun fire “30 clips.”
One wonders whether Frey has trouble finding the carburetor on his Tesla.
This is probably the most embarrassing example of a gun grabber displaying ignorance since USA Today famously invented the “chainsaw bayonet” for AR-15s.
Ironically, this now exists.
The irony is that gun grabbers could easily avoid such excruciatingly stupid mistakes if they just spent a couple of hours at the local gun shop or shooting range familiarizing themselves with firearms basics. But no, their irrational hopolophobia seems to make them feel that guns are so evil that merely touching one would allow that evil to infect them.
And so they continue to display their amazing ignorance of firearms basics over and over again…

In much the same way that wearing corrective lenses in Pol Pot’s Cambodia made you a counter revolutionary, using correct nomenclature to describe firearms indicates that you are a bitter clinger and deserve a similar fate.
You have to understand why the Dems keep being stupid on these subjects.
Stupidity took them far, and now it’s all they’ve got left.
To be fair, ‘we’ aren’t careful with nomenclature either. Why did Colt and the Secretary of War call the 1911 “Automatic” not semi-automatic? I worked ranges for a long time and the official jargon often disappoints. A 2.57″ rocket without an HE warhead is often called ‘inert’ – the motor ain’t. Folks often call a bomb with no HE fill (aside from a spotter charge) a dummy. That same bomb can sport a JDAM or LGB kit producing …. a ‘smart’ ‘dummy’.
Previously, I worked at a small Air National Guard training base. There is a 25 meter covered firing range with a rubber pellet backstop. Every few years depending on usage, we hire a certified company to sift through the pellets removing the lead.
An EPA technician visited to confirm our compliance with multiple regulations and programs. My friend and coworker serves as the Environmental Officer. He expected the focus to be on use of chemicals or the fire foam or anything else.
Nope.
The EPA technician could not understand bullets. He thought all parts of the bullets went down range. I was called to help explain. When I arrived onsite, I naively assumed he understood projectiles, casing, powder…. Nope. The man honestly did not understand that all bullets are pushed out of the weapon by pressure from burning powder and that the empty casings were ejected.
For those of you wondering, his question was on the weight of lead being removed with each sifting. He could not appreciate that the brass and powder were separated. We processed all spent brass through the military. The only component we paid certified contractors to abate was the lead.
And he did not understand it.
The Teams meeting with his supervisor was both tragic and hilarious.
