Virginia House Democrat Agitates for Gun Control, Ends Up Confirming Gun Rights

This is a massively confused rant from a massively confused politician, a very incoherent rant indeed.
She begins by asserting that her cop husband puts on a uniform each and every day to protect and serve, and then posing the rhetorical question she doesn’t very much like, “If the police don’t arrive in time, what is a person supposed to do?”
She then goes on to rehearse a crime in her neighborhood where children perished, saying that the police arrived within two minutes and that didn’t save the children’s lives.
You heard that right. The police are there to “protect and serve.” I would remark that they only protect and serve to the extent that they follow the constitution, but that as I have remarked so many times before, cases like Castle Rock v. Gonzalez, Warren v. D.C., and DeShaney v. Winnebago County prove without question or caveat that it’s not the job of police to protect anyone.
It’s your job to protect yourself and your family. This politician demonstrates again why that must be the case. Police cannot arrive in time to prevent crime from being committed. The time frame is too compressed.
And then after asserting that it’s the job of police to protect, against evidence to the contrary, she then asserts that it can’t ultimately be successful.
She goes on with this incoherence. “Why should anyone be allowed to have a higher caliber, more powerful weapon, than my husband …”
So according to her, (1) police are there to protect. (2) Police can’t protect you, therefore: (3) You shouldn’t be allowed to have weapons that match his (I suppose for example a .40S&W, .45ACP, or .44 Magnum, assuming he carries a 9mm like most cops do these days).
Those presuppositions don’t support the conclusion. There is no coherent syllogism there. There isn’t even an immediate inference.
I’m surprised that the Virginia House Democrats have left this video on Twitter. It should be embarrassing to them.

They want us disarmed. Totally. And any lie that serves that agenda is acceptable.
I have no doubt this “representative” has the IQ of a turnip. Somehow that doesn’t
keep idiots of this caliber (sic) from being elected. Especially now that the left can
control who does or does not win.

You can always count on the police to “protect and serve” their paycheck, their pension, their dental plan and their comp time.

Its telling…
You think anyone in the audience even noticed? Do any of the logical arguments you find these days ever make sense? Its not a requirement for them.
Its why I have given up on trying to wake people up. If you aren’t at this point, it is either intentional, or you’re incapable.
Not my circus, not my monkeys.

It always aggravates me when exceptions are carved out for the “enforcers” in gun control legislation.
Why is a LEO entitled to more rights than a citizen?
What is a “higher caliber”? Maybe a larger caliber? More powerful?
Bet the husband has an AR patrol rifle in his car.
Why can’t I have a more powerful weapon? After all, I’m not in violation of the law.

There are no victims only volunteers and if you volunteer to be disarmed then you deserve to be a victim……

Logic to liberals is like a crucifix to vampires. The sad part is that she believes she is making sense. If she is this dumb, what does that say about the people that voted her in?
