A Democrat in the House from the state of Iowa openly told her constituents that she’s pushing to ban all semi-automatic firearms from civilian use.
She said in the video below that she believes semi-automatic firearms should only be used in warfare.

Here’s more from Daily Caller:
Democratic Iowa Rep. Cindy Axne signaled her support for banning all semi-automatic guns at a tele-town hall with her constituents in July, according to audio obtained by the Daily Caller.
“But the issue isn’t the fact that our schools aren’t safe, the issue is the fact that it’s guns and the problem is we should not have semi-automatic weapons in anything other than warfare,” Axne said during the tele-town hall on July 6.
“So here is the deal, they need to go away, and I will continue to push for that and to continue to push for the bills that we tried to get into our Protecting Our Kids Act which was the one we had out of our House side that didn’t make it through in the Senate,” Axne added.
Democrats in Congress have been pushing for a list of gun control bills. The legislation is being led by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee. Democrats are considering eight proposals including bills to stop gun trafficking; prohibit the import, sale, manufacture, transfer or possession of high-capacity magazines; raise the purchase age for certain rifles from 18 to 21 and promote safer storage of guns, according to Axios.
Democrats are calling the package of eight bills the “Protecting Our Kids Act.”
Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy has been leading the negotiations for Democrats. The other Senate lawmakers working on a framework are Sens. Richard Blumenthal, Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, Martin Heinrich, Susan Collins, Pat Toomey, Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy.
Semi-automatic firearms are NOT the same thing as automatic firearms, but you would think that listening to idiots like Axne.
Semi-automatics are probably the most common type of firearm in America to be used for self-defense and they are NOT weapons of war.
I don’t know if she’s speaking from ignorance or if she really means to ban all semi-automatic firearms, but either way these people need to be stopped because this is absurd.
