Mocking an individual’s right to defend himself against armed intruders? Just another day in the life of a Democrat.

Democrat laughing response to question about new CO gun laws: "You'd probably be dead anyway." http://t.co/bFnWmccfIy — Razor (@hale_razor) April 3, 2013

Good times.

At a public forum on gun legislation yesterday, an older gentleman confronted U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette with with a home invasion scenario. Particularly if the intruders are armed, what measures can he take to defend himself given Colorado’s new restrictive gun laws? With the Democrats in the Colorado legislature on a mission to disarm the citizenry, it’s a very valid question. Unfortunately, DeGette thinks it’s worthy of derision:

“You’d probably be dead anyway.” Just the sort of thing you want to hear from someone who’s supposed to work in your best interest.

Unbelievable.

Maybe instead of trying to make a reasonable man look foolish, she could spend her time instead learning about how guns actually work. You know, since she’s co-sponsoring gun control legislation:

@DLoesch Not even DeGette's best line yesterday. She said that soon all the "high-capacity" magazines would be shot up & gone. — Mark E (@wreave) April 3, 2013

USRep Degette was asked about millions of mags in circulation she said "they will be used up because there are bullets in them". real bright — schotts (@schotts) April 3, 2013

Cringe-tastic transcript via CNSNews.com:

“What’s the efficacy of banning these magazine clips? I will tell you, these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those now, they’re going to shoot them” says Rep DeGette. According to her, “the number of these high capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will be shot and there won’t be any more available.”

Derp. Hey, Rep. DeGette, this Twitterer has some questions for you to consider in your future research:
