ATF Director Still Doesn't Know The Difference Between A Magazine And A Clip

Last fall, the White House tweeted, "Extreme House Republicans want to take 70 ATF agents off the beat as a condition of keeping the government open." Yeah, and? There are plenty of Republicans who aren't extreme who'd like to see the ATF defunded and disbanded. Last Spring, ATF Director Steven Dettelbach was asked by a congresswoman to describe, in 15 seconds, what an "assault weapon" is. He couldn't do it. "I'm not a firearms expert," he admitted. That wasn't the end, though. At another hearing, Dettelbach told Congress, "I don't hold myself out as a technical expert in every aspect of firearms." He can't define assault weapons, but he wants to ban them.

Dettelback went on "Face the Nation" Sunday to show off a table full of scary-looking guns and proved once again he's not a firearms expert. ATF Director Steven Dettelbach went on CBS's Face The Nation & displayed a shocking ignorance of firearms while trying to gin up fear to strip us of our Second Amendment rights. It should scare everyone that Dettelbach doesn't know the difference between a clip & a magazine. Dettelbach also doesn't know what a pistol brace is. It's an understatement to call it an embarrassment. He is the head of the ATF. The ATF in conjunction with CBS also made a belt fed machine gun the centerpiece on the table to scare folks who aren't familiar with firearms.
