During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday Sen. Mazie Hirono (D) claimed the Supreme Court of the United States created the ability to own guns via Heller (2008).

In video published by Forbes, Hirono began her opening remarks by referencing an earlier hearing in which the “entire panel” of witnesses agreed that “this nation is awash in guns.

She went on to stress the phrase “awash in guns” at least three more times, then said, “Meanwhile, the Supreme Court in various decisions, Heller was pretty much an astounding decision to me when suddenly, individual could, [under] the Second Amendment, individuals could own firearms.”

I guess you don’t have to know anything at all to be elected a Senator...

2nd amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Fascinating how leftists turn "right of the people" in their minds into "right of government militias" as they deny the obvious. This is a good example of how leftist ideology turns people into morons.

Stupidity that acute must be physically painful. I had long suspected but now have it confirmed that I have several house plants with higher IQs than Crazy Mazie.
